Load Flow Analysis, Short Circuit Calculations and Protection Coordination

Protection is applied on a component basis. Relays are associated with each major component of the power distribution system to detect various forms of distress associated with those components. If one of those relays operates, which means that an output contacts protective device which then isolates the defective system components. It may be convenient to think of the circuit breaker as the muscle that does the work of isolating the component, while the relay is the brain which decides that isolation is required.
