Induction Type Directional Power Relay

The induction type directional power relay activates based on current direction and uses magnetic fields to generate torque, becoming ineffective during short circuits. It features both directional and non-directional elements and is designed to improve upon traditional induction-type relays. Specific breakers are assigned to respond to faults based on their forward sides, requiring coordination among them for effective operation.

Induction Type Directional Power Relay

A directional power relay activates when current flows in a specific direction, using magnetic
fields to produce torque. It is ineffective during short circuits. The magnetic flux from the
potential coil lags the voltage by about 90 degrees, while the current coil's flux is nearly in
phase with the current. The driving torque depends on power flow direction, and under normal
conditions, it's balanced by a spring's restraining torque, keeping the relay inactive. If the
current reverses and the driving torque becomes strong enough, the disc rotates oppositely,
closing the trip circuit. This relay design improves upon induction-type relays, which struggle
during short circuits when voltage is reduced. Typically, it includes both a directional and a non-
directional element in a single case.

Directional relays will be used for breakers B12, B21, B23, and B32, while overcurrent relays
are for B1 and B3. Breakers B12, B21, B23, and B32 respond only to faults on their
“forward” sides. For a fault at P1, B21 won't operate; B12 must coordinate with B23 to trip
first, and B3 should coordinate with B32. For a fault at P2, B23 won't operate; B32 must
coordinate with B21 to trip first, while B1 coordinates with B12.
