A protective relay is a sophisticated device designed to calculate power measurements within large industrial circuit breakers, and to trip that circuit breaker when it senses abnormal conditions or faults before they occur.

Why is a protective relay important?

Residential and commercial circuit breakers have the capability of tripping when faced with irregularities or excessive currents. Unfortunately, industrial circuit breakers do not. They rely on relays to provide this trigger. Having a relay installed will protect your valuable electrical equipment and the productivity of your business.
