4 FAQs about Relay protection uninterruptible power supply

What is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)?

The uninterruptible power supply (UPS) provides a dependable backup power to the protective relay (s) in the event the primary power source is lost. The UPS was specifically designed for use with the ABB Distribution Unit (DPU) and the ABB Integrated Microprocessor Protective Relay System (IMPRS) relays.

What is a protection relay?

An electrical device designed to detect some specified condition in a power system, and then command a circuit breaker either to trip or to close in order to protect the integrity of the power system, is called a protection, or protective, relay.

Do uninterruptible power supply systems provide protection?

"Uninterruptible power supply systems provide protection." IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine 1, no. 1 (2007): 28-38. . Rahmat, M., S. Jovanovic, and K. L. Lo. "Reliability and availability modelling of uninterruptible power supply systems using Monte-Carlo simulation."

What voltage does a protective relay use?

Even the most modern digital protective relays operate on the traditional 125 VDC supply voltage rather than 120 VAC as is common with other types of industrial controls. Protective relays have seen widespread use in industrialized power systems since the early twentieth century, with continued technological development.
