Relay protection interface settings
This manual presents the steps for configuring IEC 61850 communication in Bulletin 857 and 865 protection relays. Configuration tool programs are provided by Rockwell. Manual intended for personnel responsible for installing, commissioning and using VIP protection 400. A. Protective Relays - Technical Seminar Nov 2016 - Copyright: IEEE 2 Abstract: Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide “lastline”of defense for the electrical systems. They are intended to quickly identify a fault and isolate it so the balance of the system. Selectivity is a mandatory requirement for all protection, but the importance of it depends on the application. For example, unselective protection operation during a medium voltage network fault will cause an outage for an unnecessarily large number of consumers.
