What is Protective Relays : Their Theory and Practice Volume One about?

## Causes of Faults-Definitions-Functions of Protective Relays-Application to a Power System T HE capital investment involved in a power system for the generation, transmission and distribution of electrical power is so great that the proper precautions must be taken to ensure that the equipment not only operates as nearly as possible to peak efficiency, but also that it is protected from accidents. The normal path of the electric current is from the power source through copper (or aluminium) conductors in the generators, transformers and transmission lines to the load and it is confined to this path by insulation. The insulation, however, may be broken 'down, either by the effect of temperature and age or by a physical accident, so that the current then follows an abnormal path generally known as a short-circuit or fault. Whenever this occurs the destructive capabilities of the enormous energy of the power system may cause expensive damage to the equipment, severe drop in voltage and loss of revenue due to interruption of service. Such faults may be made infrequent by good design of the power apparatus and lines and the provision of protective devices, such as surge diverters and
