Distance Protection Relay
- The relay module is based on the Micom industrial relay.
- The lecturer or student sets up different fault circuits on the Protection and Relay Test Set.
- Use the keypad and display on the relay module to program it to the settings needed for the tests.
- They can also use the Micom S1 software and a suitable computer to program the relay module.
- The relay module is then connected to the fault circuits so tests can be performed.
The main functions of the Distance Protection Relay include:
- Broken conductor.
- Blocking of any one protection element.
- Creating fault and disturbance records.
- Directional/non-directional phase overcurrent.
- Directional/non-directional earth fault.
- Directional/non-directional negative sequence overcurrent .
- Thermal overload protection.
- Full scheme phase and ground distance protection – up to five zones.
