Power Knowledge | Guardians of the Power System: Protection Relays and Protection Devices
2025-05-08
The power system refers to an integrated whole composed of power sources, transmission lines, substations, and users, which provides the necessary electricity for people's production and daily life. However, during the operation of the power system, due to various reasons such as failures of electrical equipment and changes in weather, failures may occur. If these failures are not protected in a timely manner, they will have a serious impact on the entire power system. Therefore, protection relays and protection devices in the power system play a very important role.
I. Protection Relays
Protection relays are electrical devices used for the protection of power systems. They can detect failures in the power system and take corresponding measures when failures occur to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system. The main functions of protection relays are as follows:
Protection relays are electrical devices used for the protection of power systems. They can detect failures in the power system and take corresponding measures when failures occur to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system. The main functions of protection relays are as follows:
- Detect failures in the power system
Protection relays can determine whether a failure has occurred by detecting parameters such as current, voltage, and frequency in the power system. Once a failure occurs, protection relays will take corresponding measures in a timely manner to prevent the expansion of the failure. - Protect the safety of electrical equipment
In the power system, various electrical equipment is equipped with its own protection relays to ensure their normal operation. For example, the protection relay of a transformer can detect parameters such as the temperature, oil level, and oil pressure of the transformer to protect its safety. - Improve the reliability of the power system
Protection relays can prevent the power system from stopping operation due to failures, thereby improving the reliability of the power system. When a failure occurs in the power system, protection relays can cut off the faulty circuit in a timely manner and switch to the standby circuit to ensure the stable power supply of the power system.
II. Protection Devices
Protection devices are electrical devices that protect the power system by detecting parameters in the power system. The functions of protection devices are similar to those of protection relays, but protection devices are usually used to protect a specific electrical device. The main functions of protection devices are as follows:

The functions of protection devices are similar to those of protection relays, but protection devices are usually used to protect a specific electrical device. The main functions of protection devices are as follows:
- Protect specific electrical equipment
Protection devices are usually used to protect a specific electrical device. For example, a transformer protection device can detect parameters such as the current, voltage, temperature, and oil level of the transformer to protect its safe and stable operation. Different electrical equipment requires different protection devices for protection. - Quickly cut off the faulty circuit
Protection devices can quickly cut off the faulty circuit by detecting parameters such as the fault current in the power system to prevent the expansion of the failure. When a failure occurs in the power system, the protection device can cut off the faulty circuit in a timely manner to avoid a serious impact on the entire power system. - Improve the reliability of the power system
Protection devices can prevent the power system from stopping operation due to failures, thereby improving the reliability of the power system. When a failure occurs in the power system, the protection device can cut off the faulty circuit in a timely manner and switch to the standby circuit to ensure the stable power supply of the power system.
III. Classification of Protection Relays and Protection Devices
According to the protection scope and function, protection relays and protection devices can be classified into different types.
According to the protection scope and function, protection relays and protection devices can be classified into different types.
- Classification by protection scope
Protection relays and protection devices can be classified into different types such as generator protection, substation protection, transmission line protection, and distribution line protection to protect different electrical equipment. - Classification by protection function
Protection relays and protection devices can be classified into different types such as overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, undervoltage protection, grounding protection, overfrequency protection, and low-frequency protection according to different protection functions to protect against different failures.
IV. Applications of Protection Relays and Protection Devices
Protection relays and protection devices are widely used in the power system and play an important role in the safe and stable operation of the power system.
