In 1901, the induction-type overcurrent relay was introduced, followed by ASEA (now ABB) launching the first time-delay overcurrent relay, TCB, in 1905, enabling graded protection. The current differential protection principle was proposed in 1908, and directional. Today, digital relays provide features such as self-testing, waveform analysis, and rapid fault response, which far surpass the capabilities of early devices. a Path of Great Resistance ecially when that industry has engrained roots of conservatism as a basis of its culture. Edison's dream of lighting the world using electricity spawned the largest industrial infrastructure in the world and enabled. Edmund Schweitzer with the first digital microprocessor-based protective relay, the SEL-21 digital distance relay/fault locator , and the SEL-T400L time-domain line protection relay. For more than a century, utility companies have used electromechanical relays to protect power systems against. Information about their widespread use comes to us from the 70s of the XIX century.
