Basic Components of Numeric relay

A Numerical relay is a relay that is based on a microprocessor. It is also called as a digital relay. It works on numbers representing the instantaneous values of the signal i.e. the voltage, current, and frequency. 

Components of Numeric relay

A numeric relay is very complex and has several components but the most important once are as follows

1. Input Module:- All the signals available from the power systems are in analog form ie the voltage, the current, the frequency all these signals are incompatible with the microprocessor-based relays, therefore, it has to be converted into digital form but before conversion, we filter the signals using low pass filter so that the high-frequency noise obtained from harmonics of machines may be eliminated.

2. CPU:- The central processing unit is the heart of the microprocessor-based relay it executes the programs that are uploaded in the relay and based on the instructions given by the program it analyses the input data and gives the output.

3. Memory:-  The numeric relay has RAM and PROM that are generally the storage units that store the important data and instructions when operations are carried out by the microprocessor.

4. ADC:- The ADC or the analog to digital converter is the device that converts the input signals available from the devices like the CTs and the PTs to the microprocessor so that the input data becomes compatible for the relay

5. Output module:- The output module is the digital contact that gets activated when the CPU generates the trip command in case of any abnormal condition or a fault
