Classification of Overcurrent Relays | Devices | Electrical Engineering
Depending upon the time of operation, overcurrent relays may be categorized as: 1. Instantaneous Overcurrent Relay 2. Inverse-Time Overcurrent Relay 3. Definite Time Overcurrent Relay 4. Inverse Definite Minimum Time (IDMT) Relays 5. Very Inverse Relay 6. Extremely Inverse Relay. 1. Instantaneous Overcurrent Relay: An instantaneous overcurrent relay is one in which no intentional time delay is provided for operation. [...]
