The various protective functions available on a given relay are denoted by standard. For example, a relay including function 51 would be a timed overcurrent protective relay. An overcurrent relay is a type of protective relay which operates when the load current exceeds a pickup value. It is of two types: instantaneous over current (IOC) relay and definite time overcurrent (DTOC) relay.

The IEEE standard for protection relays refers to a collection of guidelines developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. These standards define the performance, accuracy, reliability, and testing requirements of protective relays used in electrical systems. Relay systems protect high-voltage equipment and transmission lines to ensure safe, stable systems. Although failure of a protective relay system may have severe local or regional impacts, most protective relay systems are not required to operate to prove they are in working order. Many of the protective relay systems are seldom called upon to work and have little means of proving they. The testing and verification of relay protection devices can be divided into four groups: Type tests are needed to prove that a protection relay meets the claimed specification and follows all relevant standards. Since the basic function of a protection relay is to correctly function under abnormal. Protective relays are decision-making elements in the protection scheme for electrical power systems. A strong test and maintenance program will keep protective relays in a high state of readiness and help utilities avoid equipment damage and prolonged downtime. This guide provides recommended.
