Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary purpose of a transformer protection relay?
  • Step 1: Understand that a transformer is an electrical device that changes voltage levels.
  • Step 2: Know that sometimes transformers can have problems or faults, like short circuits.
  • Step 3: Learn that a transformer protection relay is a device that monitors the transformer for these faults.
  • Step 4: Realize that when the relay detects a fault, it quickly acts to isolate the transformer from the electrical system.
  • Step 5: Understand that isolating the transformer helps prevent damage to the transformer and keeps the electrical system safe.
