The protective relay is used to detect abnormal conditions within the electrical circuits by measuring the different electrical quantities constantly under normal as well as fault conditions. In electrical power system design, the ANSI codes indicate what features a protective device supports like a relay/circuit breaker. ANSI codes are very useful in identifying medium voltage-based microprocessor devicefunctions. Additionally, relay testing on a normal basis is required to make sure the right operation is maintained.
