Description: The objective of this course is to provide knowledge and understanding of power system protection and electrical safety. It gives knowledge about the devices of power system protection such as current transformer, voltage transformer, different types of relay, fuse, circuit breaker and reclosure. Relay types such as IDMT relay, overcurrent relay, impedance relay, differential relay and various test to know about their performance are the focus of some experiments. The lab also have a few simulation-based experiments on static relay circuit , and their supporting components, Circuit-breaker operation and chracteristics etc.
