Static relays are classified according to the type of the measuring unit or comparator as follows: 1. Electronic Relays 2. Transductor (Magnetic Amplifier Relays) 3. Rectifier Bridge Relays 4. Transistor Relays 5. Hall Effect Relays 6. Gauss Effect Relays. 1. Electronic Relays: These were the first to be developed in the series of static relays. Fitzgerald presented a carrier current [...]
Distance relays are characterised by having two input quantities proportional to the voltage and current at a particular point in the power system, referred to as the relaying point. Ideal static distance relays have characteristics independent of actual magnitudes of voltage and current but dependent only on their ratio and phase angle between them. The versatile family of distance relays [...]
The overcurrent relays, even though simplest of all types of electromechanical relays, are the most difficult static relays. This is because the induction disc characteristics of the overcurrent relays (inverse characteristics) are not amenable to simple mathematical analysis. The first static relays developed were the high speed differential relays and the distance relays. Fault current level detectors are termed overcurrent [...]
The differential relay measures the phasor difference between two similar electrical quantities (voltage-voltage or current-current). The rectifier bridge amplitude comparator is the most common static form for applications as a differential relay element. The block diagram for such a relay is shown in Fig. 4.16. Inputs I and II are supplied to the comparator. The output of the comparator (phasor [...]
