RENAC Online - Protection System in low and medium Voltage Grids
Protection systems are one of the very important components of power supply systems to meet safety, reliability and quality of supply requirements.
In the event of a fault, the protection systems can isolate the faulty components and at the same time keep the healthy parts of the power supply system in operation. Efficient protection systems can detect and isolate faults or exceptional situations within seconds to milliseconds. Back-up protection devices are installed to improve the reliability of the protection system.
Highlights
