What are the different types of overcurrent relays?

Types of Overcurrent Relay:

  • Instantaneous Overcurrent relay (Define Current)
  • Definite Time Overcurrent Relays.
  • Inverse Time Overcurrent Relays (IDMT Relay) Normal Inverse Time Overcurrent Relay. Very Inverse Time Overcurrent Relay. Extremely Inverse Time Overcurrent Relay.
  • Directional Overcurrent Relays.

What are the characteristics of overcurrent relay?

a) Instantaneous Over-current Relay:

  • Operates in a definite time when current exceeds its Pick-up value.
  • Its operation criterion is only current magnitude.
  • Operating time is constant.
  • There is no intentional time delay.

What are the different types of relay?

There are different types of relays like:

  • Electromagnetic Relays.
  • Latching Relays.
  • Electronic Relays.
  • Non-Latching Relays.
  • Reed Relays.
  • High-Voltage Relays.
  • Small Signal Relays.
  • Time Delay Relays.

How over current relays are classified on the basis of operating time?

Depending upon the time of operation, overcurrent relays may be categorized as: 1. Instantaneous Overcurrent Relay 2. Inverse-Time Overcurrent Relay 3. Definite Time Overcurrent Relay 4.

What is PSM and TSM?

Time Setting Multiplier (TSM): The arrangement provided for setting the operating time of protective relay from zero sec to maximum permissible time for a specified current setting is known as time setting multiplier. Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM): It is the ratio of fault current in relay coil to pick-up current.

What is Idmt and DMT relay?

Generally, the over current relays are differentiating with their time of operation. The most commonly used over current relays are IDMT (Inverse definite mean time) over current relays, DT (definite time) over current relays and Instantaneous time over current relays. They are designed to sense the over-current.

What are the three types of relays?

The three main types of relays are electromechanical, solid-state, and reed.

What are the 5 applications of relay?

Applications of Relays in Electronic Circuits

  • Relay Drive by Means of a Transistor.
  • Relay Drive by Means of SCR.
  • Relay Drive from External Contacts.
  • LED Series and Parallel Connections.
  • Electronic Circuit Drive by Means of a Relay.
  • Power Source Circuit.
  • PC Board Design Considerations.

What is TMS and PMS?

PSM and TMS settings that is Plug Setting Multiplier and Time Multiplier Setting are the settings of a relay used to specify its tripping limits. To understand this concept easily, it is better to know about settings of the Electromechanical Relays.

What is PMS relay?

Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM): It is the ratio between the actual fault current in the relay operating coil to pick up current or the relay current setting.

What is TMS relay?

Time Multiplier Setting used to change the value of operation of the relay. If it is more the relay will take more time to operate and vice versa. Changing the position of TMS setting, changes the distance between the contact of the rotating disk and the coil.

What is MHO relay?

What is Mho Relay? Mho relay is referred to as voltage-controlled directional relay or admittance relay or high-speed relay. The operating torque can be determined by the V-I (voltage-ampere) element and the voltage element develops the controlling element.
