Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main purpose of a transformer protection relay?
  • Step 1: Understand what a transformer is. A transformer is a device that changes the voltage of electricity.
  • Step 2: Know that transformers can have problems or faults, like short circuits or overloads.
  • Step 3: Learn that a transformer protection relay is a device that monitors the transformer for these problems.
  • Step 4: Realize that when the relay detects a fault, it sends a signal to protect the transformer.
  • Step 5: Understand that protecting the transformer helps prevent damage and keeps the electrical system safe.
