Is AC power reliable for relay protection
A trickle-charging AC-to-DC power supply keeps the station battery in a constant state of full charge while AC power is available. In the event of an AC power interruption, all protective relays and other critical instrumentation in the facility will continue to. They are intended to quickly identify a fault and isolate it so the balance of the system continue to run under normal conditions. Even brief interruptions of control power are troublesome, as many devices have short ride-through times and long startup times. This chapter offers a comprehensive examination of testing methodologies and protective relay strategies crucial for ensuring the reliable operation of power systems.
