Relay Connection

Why the power system needs to be

protected?
• Reduce Equipment Damage
• Reduce Power Interruptions
• Improve Power Quality
• Improve Safety for all
 What Do You Mean By Zone Of Protection?

• The protection is organized to provide a ring

of security around each and every element of
power system. If there is any fault associated
within the ring the relays associated with it
must trip all the allied circuit breakers so as to
remove any faulty element from rest of the
power system. This ring of security is called
‘Zone of protection’.
 Why Does The Adjacent Zones Of Protection Overlap?

• If the adjacent zones do not overlap there will

be some portion of the power system which is
left out unprotected.
