Then stay with us.<\/p>\n<h2>What are protection relays for?<\/h2>\n<p>Protection relays perform measurements of electrical quantities (such as voltage, current, power factor, among others) and compare these measurements with programmed reference values.<\/p>\n<p>When a value exceeds the pre-established limits, the protection relay acts, turning off the protection devices (such as circuit breakers) and interrupting the electrical circuit.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, these devices are used to protect the electrical system against a series of disturbances and failures, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>voltage drops;<\/li>\n<li>system overload;<\/li>\n<li>overvoltages;<\/li>\n<li>undervoltages;<\/li>\n<li>short circuit;<\/li>\n<li>lack of phase;<\/li>\n<li>phase inversion;<\/li>\n<li>between others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Therefore, they play a fundamental role in preventing damage to electrical equipment, ensuring worker safety and maintaining the continuity of the electricity supply.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the types of protection relays?<\/h2>\n<p>There are different types of protection relays, which can be classified based on their characteristics and functions.<\/p>\n<p>Discover some of them right now.<\/p>\n<h3>Thermal relays<\/h3>\n<p>These are devices used to protect <a href=\"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/transformador-de-potencial-e-corrente-saiba-tudo-sobre-eles\/\">transformers<\/a> of power and electric motors.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, they monitor the temperature of the equipment and act to prevent overheating, turning off the circuit when they detect abnormal temperature conditions.<\/p>\n<h3>Phase protection relays<\/h3>\n<p>These relays detect voltage drops in one or more phases of the electrical system and trigger the protection device (such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/o-que-e-um-disjuntor-de-media-tensao\/\">medium or high voltage circuit breaker<\/a>) to break the circuit and prevent damage to electrical equipment.<\/p>\n<h3>Timing relays<\/h3>\n<p>They are widely used in industrial processes, such as motor starters, industrial furnaces and control panels.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, they have a timing function, allowing programmed delays to turn electrical devices on or off at specific times.<\/p>\n<h3>Medium voltage protection relays<\/h3>\n<p>These relays are specifically designed for protection in medium voltage systems.<\/p>\n<p>They then detect faults and dangerous conditions in the system and issue commands to open the circuit breakers, interrupting the power supply and preventing damage to the equipment.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these, there are overcurrent protection relays, overvoltage relays, directional relays, phase failure relays, among others, each with its own specific characteristics and functions.<\/p>\n<h2>What protection relays are used in primary cabinets?<\/h2>\n<p>There are different types of relays that can be used in <a href=\"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/cabines-primarias-metalicas-e-de-alvenaria-qual-e-a-melhor\/\">primary cabins<\/a>, depending on the specific needs and requirements of the electrical system.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the choice of specific relays will depend on the characteristics of the electrical system, protection needs and applicable standards.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it is important to consult electrical engineering experts and follow relevant technical recommendations and requirements when selecting relays for a primary cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>Are you looking for relays for primary cabinets?<\/p>\n<p>At Trif\u00e1sica El\u00e9trica, we offer high-performance relays, approved by all dealerships in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>Count on
