The electromechanical overcurrent relay is considered the simplest and most fundamental protective relay used in power systems . It operates by detecting when the current in a circuit exceeds a predetermined threshold and then initiating a trip signal to a circuit breaker to isolate the faulty section . This type of relay is widely used due to its simplicity, reliability, and ability to provide basic protection against overcurrent conditions.
Electromechanical overcurrent relays typically use coils, moving parts, and induction disks to sense abnormal current levels . When the current exceeds the relay's pickup value, the electromagnetic force moves the disk or mechanism, eventually closing contacts that complete the trip circuit for the breaker . These relays can be designed for instantaneous operation (50) or time-delayed operation (51), allowing flexibility in protection schemes .
Where it is desired to have more time delay before element operates for purpose of coordinating with other protective relays or
