CT is used in the relay circuits for protection purposes. As the current and voltage ratings in a power system are very high, it is not possible to measure currents and voltages of that magnitude as they are way too large for any meter of reasonable size and cost. The CT’s are generally standardized at 1 or 5 amperes secondary current. These are very moderate ratings, thus a 5 A ammeter can be used to measure 1000 amperes with the help of a 1000/5 A ratio CT. For this reason the relay circuits are connected with instrument Transformers because the relay senses the input quantity before sending the trip signal to the circuit breaker, and these input quantities are measured by the use of instrument transformers.

What is difference between isolation transformer and earth protection relay?
An isolation transformer is a mutual transformer having a voltage ratio of 1:1, so that the secondary circuit is electrically isolated from the primary circuit, yet subject to the same voltage.An earth protection relay is a category of protective relay that responds to an earth fault monitored by a current transformer (CT). In the event of an earth fault being detected by the CT, the relay with activate the trip circuit to a circuit breaker which will then disconnect the fault.
What is an electric circuit that controls another electric circuit through a relay?
Remote-Control Circuit. Any electrical circuit that controlsany other circuit through a relay or an equivalent device.
How an electrical relay works?
A relay will have a control circuit and a function circuitcould be the same feed line. One set of terminals (Hot and Load) can be activated at all times, but will not function until the control circuit is closed. The control circuit has a Hot and a Ground--when activated either by supply hot or ground by switch. The internal coil closes allowing the function circuit to operate. The purpose of this relay is to reduce the spike to the alternator. It takes less current (voltage) to close the coil on the relay than it would to operate the accessory that it controls
Why the secondary terminals of ct's are shorted when not in use?
The current in the secondary side of a CT (Current Transformer) is induced by the current flowing in the primary circuit. If the current continues to flow in the primary circuit and the CT is left "Open Circuit" then dangerous voltages can build up and cause damage to equipment when reconnected or personal injury by electric shock. Therefore, shorting the secondary terminals of the CT allows current to circulate taking flux with, thus reducing the building up of flux; the higher the flux the higher the emf (voltage) induced; E = Blv.
How do you built a mains fail alarm?
Use an intermediary relay that is specifically and only connected to a circuit from a two pole breaker in the distribution panel. Through the N.C. contact of the relay connect your DC alarm system. As long as the power is on the relay stays energized and the N.C. contacts stay open. If a power failure occurs the relay will drop out and close the N.C. contacts. This will close the circuit on the alarm system.

What do relay and circuit breakers use?
No. A relay is an electric switch and a circuit breaker is an overcurrent device.
What is CT operated electronic relay?
CT (Current Transformer ) is essential whether is electronic relay or electromagnetic relay. A relay requires the CT to sense the line current.

Why use relay insted of switch?
Because a switch is a 'permanent' action. A relay only completes the circuit while there is power. If there is a fault in the circuit, a switch will still allow power through, whereas a relay will break the circuit.
How do you check a circuit relay to know if it is working?
Use a multi-meter.
Internal circuit of an electrical relay?
basic circuit of electrical protective relay
What is an electric circuit that controls another electric circuit through a relay?
Remote-Control Circuit. Any electrical circuit that controlsany other circuit through a relay or an equivalent device.
How do you test over current relay?
Normally the Over current relay is connected using a suitable CT (Current Transformer). Say the CT ratio is 100/5 Amps. (secondary is normally 5 or 1 amps). 100 Amps in the primary induces 5 amps in secondary which flows through over current relay circuit. Secondary current is proportional to the primary current. To test the OCR , inject the current into relay circuit ranging from 0 to 5 amps in steps (which represents upto full load current on primary). Relay will operate accordingly operate the trip contacts. These relays are normally with a time factor setting as well.
How does a 6volt relay circuit works?
The same as a 12V relay circuit, except it only needs 6V instead of 12V.
Why does the 59n relay keep tripping the breaker?
The 59N relay may be tripping the breaker due to circuit overload, short circuit, or ground fault. Check for any faulty connections, damaged wires, or improper settings on the relay. Ensure that the relay is properly sized for the load it is protecting and troubleshoot any potential issues in the circuit.
What is the job of the fuel pump relay?
A relay is a switch which opens / or closes a circuit
