In modern electrical systems, relays are used as control devices that automatically open or close circuits based on certain electrical parameters. These relays are critical for controlling the operation of motors, lights, generators, and other electrical equipment. However, electrical circuits are vulnerable to a variety of disturbances, such as overloads, short circuits, voltage fluctuations, and temperature changes. Without proper protection, these disturbances can lead to equipment damage, system downtime, or even safety hazards.

    Relay circuit protection ensures that when a fault occurs—whether it's an overload, short circuit, or other issues—the relay detects the abnormal condition and triggers a response, such as disconnecting the faulty part of the circuit or shutting down the entire system to prevent further damage. Relay protection plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of electrical systems and preventing costly breakdowns.
