Protective and monitoring relays could fall into one of several categories. Protective relays and monitoring relays may be categorized as a voltage sensitive relay, power (phase) sensitive relay, current sensitive relay, and frequency sensitive relay.SpecificationsImportant sensing and measuring specifications to consider when searching for protective relays and monitoring relays include: 1. Voltage sensing range- Voltage-sensing range applies to power (phase), voltage, voltage/frequency, and paralleling (synchronous) sensing relays. 2. Current sensing range- Current-sensing range applies to power (phase) and current-sensing relays. 3. Line voltage range-Line-voltage range applies to power (phase) sensing relays. 4. Line voltage mode-(line-to-line or l. Additional FunctionsOther protective functions include: Time delay- Time delay, where the relay can h.
