Updating relay settings is essential to keep up with changes in system parameters such as fault levels, system configuration, and load characteristics. Over time, as power networks evolve and system conditions change, it becomes necessary to update and adjust relay settings to maintain the desired level of coordination and. Electrical systems usually use fuses and circuit breakers to protect electrical equipment such as cables, transformers, motors, and other components. It is ad-vised that any equipment malfunctions, which are typically caused by short cir-cuits, should only impact the area of the system in question. These schemes should allow operators to maximize process availability.
