Teleprotection is the use of communications for power system protection applications. Teleprotection channels, sometimes referred to as pilot channels, coordinate between line protection relays. Important benefits include limiting tripping to faulted. This document supplements PJM Manual 07 which contains the minimum design standards and requirements for the protection systems associated with the bulk power facilities within PJM. Directional distance and overcurrent schemes, interfaced with communication equipment, send and receive logic-based information between relay te minals to determine if the fault is external or internal to the. Protective Relay Definition: A protective relay is an automatic device that senses abnormal conditions in electrical circuits and triggers actions to isolate faults. Types of Protective Relays: Protective relays are categorized by their mechanism (electromagnetic, static, mechanical) and function.
