  • Will relay protection trip due to overvoltage

    Will relay protection trip due to overvoltage

    If the system voltage exceeds a safe level (overvoltage) or falls below the minimum operational limit (undervoltage), these relays will generate an alert or trip the circuit breaker to prevent harm. The main function is to prevent equipment damage caused by transient or sustained overvoltage conditions. Overvoltage can occur due to lightning, switching surges, or sudden. What happens to a circuit breaker at overvoltage condition? Circuit breakers are used for overcurrent / short-circuit protection.
