This comprehensive article delves into the key aspects of relay protection in HV/MV substations, including calculations, settings, coordination, selection, and validation, which are all critical to achieving high levels of system reliability and safety. Relay Protection. Main Types of Substation Protection Relays (1) Overcurrent Relay (OCR) Function: Detects when current exceeds a preset value, indicating overload or short circuit. Function: Detects leakage current caused by. Welcome to the Protection Application Handbook in the series of booklets within the LEC support programme of BA THS BU Transmission Systems and Substations. We hope you will find it useful in your work. In HV (High Voltage) and MV (Medium Voltage) substations, relay protection safeguards critical assets such as transformers, circuit breakers, and lines.
