Preface
Protective relaying is a constantly changing and expanding science that challenges even those who are deeply and totally involved with it, such as the authors of this book. Changing technology—from electromechanical to discrete semiconductor, to integrated circuits, to microprocessor techniques—has enhanced the ability to solve old gnawing problems and is in itself a fascinating study. However, this book touches only lightly on the means of implementation and places primary emphasis on the basis by which relaying in any form can be applied to satisfy a functional need. Some chapters of this book draw heavily from a previous work, Applied Protective Relaying, that was developed and edited by J. Lewis Blackburn. All chapters have been revised, reflecting changes in practice, while some entirely new chapters were stimulated by the rapidly changing protective relaying technology. This volume describes, in the most basic terms, fundamental concepts of relaying without attempting to delineate all of the refinements for which experience has dictated a need. For complete details on any of these systems or units, the manufacturers1 literature remains the best guide. Much protective relaying technology becomes obscured over the years, and the reasons for certain practices become lost. One of the aspirations for this book is to preserve, as much as possible, the details of popular practice and to provide a lasting record of the reasons certain things are done, in the hope that a repclition of past oversights and errors can be avoided in the future. If one outage or one incorrectly labeled relay misoperalion can be avoided. this book will have accomplished another of its goals. In no sense does this book cover protective relaying completely. A second volume covering communications and microprocessor technology as related to protective relays is in development. This book serves as a text for the continuation of the protective relaying seminars (numbering now in the hundreds) that the authors have taught. It will also provide considerable insight to the individual who wishes to explore this fascinating field independently. Waiter A. Elmore
