This chapter focuses on the basics of power system relaying with special attention paid to the overcurrent, impedance, and differential protection. The MERIT software for those examples is a set of SIMULINK models in which: A single-phase model of a simple power system is developed using the Power System Blockset. If the current level increases more than the threshold value, after predefined time d. The load and fault conditions must be analyzed in order to select the CTs and CBs as well as to set the relays. The fault locations that need to be considered are those producing the minimum and maximum fault currents for each.

Eng, IEEE Life Fellow IEEE/IAS/I&CPSD Protection & Coordination WG Chair Jacobs Canada. A protective relay is an intelligent electrical device designed to detect faults in power systems and initiate corrective actions such as tripping a circuit breaker. Selectivity is a mandatory requirement for all protection, but the importance of it depends on the application. For example, unselective protection operation during a medium voltage network fault will cause an outage for an unnecessarily large number of consumers.
