Aims & Learning Objectives:
Aims: To provide a detailed understanding, in terms of application and operating principles, of the main types of relay used for the protection of transmission systems.
Objectives:
After successfully completing this unit students will be able to: analyse transducers through their equivalent circuits, apply and coordinate overcurrent relays, apply distance protection under varying system conditions, apply current differential protection and appreciate the communications requirements, calculate the settings for autoreclose relays, explain the advantages and operation of modern numeric relays.
