A protective relay is a device that detects a defect in the circuit breaker\'s operation and isolates the faulty component from the rest of the system. The protective relay is an important component of the circuit protection system because it ensures that an electrical circuit operates safely. The magnitude of a quantity like current or power may cause a protective relay to react. Working and restraint coils, groups of induction discs, telephone-relay connections, and phase-shifting networks are all used in protection relays.
