    Basic Requirements for Relay Protection Devices Selectivity

    Every protection system which isolates a faulty element is required to satisfy four basic requirements: (i) reliability; (ii) selectively; (iii) sensitivity; and (iv) speed of operation. For example, unselective protection operation during a medium voltage network fault will cause an outage for an unnecessarily large number of consumers. While this is bad, It's not a. Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide “last line” of defense for the electrical systems. They are intended to quickly identify a fault and isolate it so the balance of the system continue to run under normal conditions. Selectivity of protective devices NH00. PS015002EN - January 2022 PS015002EN - January 2022 2. Coordination of motor protection PS015002EN - January 2022 Selective coordination refers to the strategic arrangement and setting of protective devices (such as circuit breakers, fuses, and relays) within an electrical system to ensure that only the device closest to the fault operates while the rest remain unaffected.
