An overcurrent relay is a type of protective relay which operates when the load current exceeds a pickup value. It is of two types: instantaneous over current (IOC) relay and definite time overcurrent (DTOC) relay.

Industrial facilities are phasing out discontinued relays to comply with global energy efficiency mandates. Electromechanical relays typically consume **2-5 watts** during operation, while SSRs reduce idle power consumption by **90%**, aligning with ISO 50001. These design changes brought about the need for more sophisticated electrical distribution protection, which coincided with the early generations of electronic protective relays, including the widely employed GE Multilin and ABB circuit shield relays. Modern digital relays offer significant advantages over electromechanical, solid state (static) and even first generation protection relays. Unlike electromechanical relays, SSRs eliminate moving parts, reducing mechanical wear and enabling lifespans exceeding **100 million cycles** compared to **1 million cycles** for traditional relays. Companies like Omron and Siemens have introduced SSRs with integrated diagnostics, enabling. Protection relays are designed to trip circuit breakers in response to network faults or abnormal network conditions to prevent or minimise damage to plant and equipment, and play a significant role in protecting staff and the public during these events. Engineers could now perform regular testing of relay protection devices, using relay test set equipment to check.

A single-phase preventer relay is a control device that detects any failure in phase supply and energizes its auxiliary relay contacts. This contact is then given to the PLC which turns off its outputs through programming written. ABB's CM range offers a wide selection of powerful, compact devices for the monitoring of currents and voltages in single-phase AC/DC systems. SEL relays detect faults and other abnormal conditions in electric power systems and initiate protective actions to maintain system stability and safety. They are used in a wide range of applications, from transmission and distribution to industrial power systems.

The first protective relays were electromagnetic devices, relying on coils operating on moving parts to provide detection of abnormal operating conditions such as over-current,, reverse flow, over-frequency, and under-frequency. In electrical engineering, a protective relay is a relay device designed to trip a circuit breaker when a fault is detected. Long term cost reduction (TCO) for trainings and maintenance by reduce variety of relays A fast and selective arc fault mitigation for air-insulated LV & MV switchgear and Relion protection and control relays and sensor.
