The relay contains preset value if the current or voltage exceeds the preset value then the relay operates the associated circuit breaker then the fault will be cleared. The iso mini relay we have looked at above has 4 pins or terminals on the body and is referred to as a make break relay because there is one high current circuit and a contact that is either open or closed depending upon whether the relay is at rest or energised.

Earth fault relay wiring diagram. For restricted earth fault relays both sensitivity and stability tests are necessary as these relay schemes may be subject to through fault currents owing to faults in the electrical system outside their zone of operation. Geoff macangus gerrard in offshore electrical engineering manual 2018. This is an economical version of 3 ol and 1 el type of protection as one overcurrent relay is saved. Assortment of 12 volt relay wiring diagram. Sh 3286 phase failure relay wiring diagram schematic. The earth fault relay operates only for the internal fault of the protective zone.

The output of these transformers is given to the relays.
Restricted earth fault relays. Overcurrent relay instantaneous overcurrent relay earth fault relay etc. The earth fault relay must be very sensitive for sensing the fault. Hence the name restricted. Such settings protect a restricted portion of the winding. For fault involving ground reliance is placed on earth fault relay.
A wiring diagram is a simplified traditional pictorial depiction of an electrical circuit. The relay is designed for sensing the fault current which is 15 more than that of the rated winding current.
