Protective Relay Protection Element Definitions
A relay with an instantaneous or a time characteristic that functions when the ratio of voltage to frequency (V/Hz) exceeds a preset value. Used to protect generator and step-up transformer from

Relay Protection Settings (PSM, TSM, EL, OL, MF)
Time Setting Multiplier (TSM) scales the base time calculated from the relay''s characteristic curves. The curve provides a base operating time for a particular PSM which TSM

Table of ANSI IEEE Standard Device Numbers
In North America protective relays are generally referred to by standard device numbers. Letters are sometimes added to specify the application (IEEE Standard C37.2-2008).

Solving Line Protection Challenges with Transient-based Relays
By using transient-based line protection, we have practically eliminated the relay operating time from the fault clearing time equation. Circuit breakers become the next frontier for reducing fault duration.

ANSI (IEEE) Protective Device Numbering
Protective relays are commonly referred to by standard device numbers. For example, a time overcurrent relay is designated a 51 device, while an instantaneous overcurrent is a 50 device.

Protective relay
A definite time over-current (DTOC) relay is a relay that operates after a definite period of time once the current exceeds the pickup value. Hence, this relay has current setting range as well as time setting
