Concept:

Impedance relay

F1 Nakshtra 17-2-22 Savita D28

\(K_1I^2-K_2V^2\)

  • The capacity for both arc resistance and power swing is medium on this relay, so it is used in medium transmission lines.
  • It is voltage-restrained over the current relay.
  • It is a circle in the R-X plane.

Reactance relay

F1 Nakshtra 17-2-22 Savita D31

\(K_1I^2-K_3VIcos(\theta-\tau)\)

  • The capacity for arc resistance is high and power swing low, so it is used in short transmission lines.
  • It is directionally restrained over the current relay.
  • It is a straight line in the R-X plane.

Mho relay

F1 Nakshtra 17-2-22 Savita D30

\(K_3VIcos(\theta-\tau)-K_2V^2\)

  • The capacity for arc resistance is low and power swing is high, so it is used for long transmission lines.
  • It is voltage-restrained over the current relay, with the directional relay as an actuating quantity.
  • It is a circle that passes through the origin, in the R-X plane.
