Home / Why replace relay protection
Over time, both older electromechanical relays and newer solid-state or microprocessor-based relays can wear down or fail in ways that are specific to their design. Relay protection and automation (RPA) are critical systems in electrical networks. RPA automatically detect faults and emergency situations, then take action to disconnect the damaged section of the network to protect equipment and ensure stable and reliable power supply. These design changes brought about the need for more sophisticated electrical distribution protection, which coincided with the early generations of electronic protective relays, including the widely employed GE Multilin and ABB circuit shield relays. There can be important differences between the submitted version and the official published version. End users must also resolve othe sources of failures, such as product handling and installation errors.
Network operators need to have a long term maintenance and replacement strategy for protection relays. In this article it is pre-sented how such a strategy can be developed, with the goal of finding
