    Reaction Paper: Principles of Protective Relaying

    Resource Speaker: Engr. Federico Cudia


    Date of Seminar: July 2, 2014

    Principles of protective relaying are one of the sufficient knowledge that an


    electrical engineering student should know and understand especially its application in
    power system industry. Last July 2, 2014 Engr. Cudia was invited in our university to
    speak about the principles of protective relaying at CEA AVR from 9:00am to 12nn.
    The speaker discussed the topic about relays which gives me an insights
    on how does a relay works and what is it purpose in different electrical devices that are
    being used in the field of Electrical Engineering. What Ive learned is that commonly
    relay is a switch in nature in opens the circuit momentarily depends upon on its use.
    Relay is not just only a switch rather it is also a protective device to give protection in
    different equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers, switch gears and so on.
    Normally protective relays are installed in equipment that is expensive.
    This seminar gives me the knowledge on what is a Relay and how quality
    it is serving as a protection like what Engr. Cudia says that a relay must achieve the
    qualities of protection criteria such as selectivity, speed, sensitivity, reliability, simplicity
    and engineering economy. These are the qualities that a relay should have. Ive learned
    that the operation of relay consist of a Current Transformer serving as the sensor, Relay
    itself serving as initiator and the circuit breaker acting as the isolator. On its operation
    the Current transformer will sense the amount of current flowing on the circuit knowing
    that the secondary of winding of current transformer is equal to 5A. If the current
    transformer senses that the current on both ends are not equal the relay will initiate the

    scenario (particularly a differential relay which is commonly used in substations) and the
    breaker will isolate and will cut the line and opens the circuit. In this seminar the
    speaker also gives us the different types of relays and their common application in the
    field one of these is the distance relay which is commonly used in transmissions lines
    which the current travels in long distances.
    Overall the seminar conducted was an informative one especially this
    seminar gives us a lot of knowledge about relays that is directly related to our subject
    Power Systems. Truly relays have a big role in the operation of the Power System all in
    Generation, Transmission and Distribution thanks to Engr. Cudia for his time and for his
    impartations and Im excited for more of seminars that will conducted in this subject.
