What is fuse A fuse is a short piece of metal
inserted in a circuit, which meltswhen excessive current flowsthrough it and thus break thecircuit.
The fuse element is generally
made of materials having lowmelting point, high conductivityand least deterioration due to lowoxidation e.g, silver, copper etc
Under normal conditions the fuseelement is at a temperature belowits melting point.
When a short-circuit or overloadoccurs, the current through fuseincrease beyond its rating thismelt the fuse

Protection of power system
Power system Protection-Basic Components:
Fuses: Self-destructing to save the equipment being protected.
Relays
earth screen
Bus-bars Circuit Breakers: These are used to make circuits carrying
enormous current, and also to break the circuit carrying the faultcurrents for a few cycle based on feedback from the relays.
DC batteries: These give uninterrupted power source to the relays andbreakers that is independent of the main power source being protected.
Lightning Arresters
Surge Absorber
Over head ground wires

Working And ConstructionFunction:
A fuse is generally inserted into anelectrical circuit for 1 of 2 reasons,either to protect the power sourcewhich includes the wire that connectsthe power supply to the electricaldevice, or to protect the electronicequipment. The electronic equipment
manufacturers specify a fuse rated toopen the electrical circuit beforedamage can be done to the device oropen the circuit if the electronicdevice fails in some way (electronicdevices may pull excessive currentwhen they fail). If a fuse larger thanthe specified fuse is used, a smallmistake when installing theequipment may cause catastrophicfailure of the equipment.

In the diagram below, you seethat there is a fuse betweenthe battery and the amplifier. Inthis configuration, the fuse canbe used to protect the wire andthe amplifier. If the fuse is the
proper one for the amplifier, allyou have to do is make surethat the wire segments 'A' and'B' are rated to pass morecurrent than the fuse and you'llbe OK. Wire segment 'A' mustbe as short as possiblebecause it is NOT protected bythe fuse.

In the this diagram, thingsget a little morecomplicated. As you can
see, wire 'A' is used todeliver power to thedistribution block. Wire 'A' isof a large enough gauge topower both amplifiers. 4gauge wire is commonlyused as a main power wire.Fuse 'A' must be rated toprotect wire 'A'. Again, fuse'B' protects wire 'B' and fuse'C' protects wire 'C'. Wire
segments 'X' and 'Y' MUSTbe as short as possiblebecause, unless they are ofthe same gauge as wire 'A'(or larger), they could be afire hazard.

In most cases, the wire size isreduced at the point of distribution.ANY time that the wire size isreduced, you must add a fuse in theline (at the point of distribution) toprotect the smaller wire. Look at the
following for more detailed infoabout changing wire sizes.
Wire "A" is unprotected which iswhy you want the main (125 amp)fuse as close to the battery aspossible. If this length of wire getsshorted, it WILL burn.
Wire "B" is protected by the 125amp fuse.

Protection of power systemAdvantages
It is the cheapest form of protection available. It requires no maintenance.
Operation is completely automatic.
It can break heavy short-circuit currentswithout noise or smoke.
The inverse time-current characteristic of a
fuse make it suitable for overcurrent protection.
Time of operation shorter than circuit breakers

Disadvantages
Time is lost in rewiring or replacing a fuse
after operation.
On heavy short-circuits discrimination
between fuses in series can not be
obtained.
The current-time characteristic of fuse can
not always be co-related with that of
protected apparatus.

H.R.C. cartridge fuse
Advantages1. They are capable of clearing high
as well as low fault currents
2. They do not deteriorate with age
3. They have high speed of operation
4. They provide reliable discrimination
5. They require no maintenance
Disadvantages
1. They have to be replaced after
each operation
2. Heat produced by the arc mayaffect the associated switches

H.R.C. fuse with tripping device
Advantages1. In case of a single phase fault
on a three-phase system, the
plunger operates the tripping
mechanism of circuit breaker to
open all three phases and
prevents single phasing
2. It also deals with very small
fault currents
3. This permits the use of a
relatively inexpensive circuitbreaker

What is Relay
A relay is a device that detectsthe fault and initiates theoperation of circuit breaker toisolate the defective elementfrom the rest of the system
A relay is a simpleelectromechanical switchmade up of an electromagnetand a set of contacts. Relaysare found hidden in all sorts ofdevices. In fact, some of the
first computers ever built usedrelays to implement Booleangates.

Construction and working
A relay is used to isolate one electricalcircuit from another. It allows a lowcurrent control circuit to make orbreak an electrically isolatedhigh currentcircuit path. The basic relay consistsof a coil and a set of contacts. The
most common relay coil is a length ofmagnet wire wrapped around a metalcore. When voltage is applied to thecoil, current passes through the wireand creates a magnetic field. Thismagnetic field pulls the contactstogether and holds them there untilthe current flow in the coil hasstopped. The diagram below showsthe parts of a simple relay.

The animated picture shows a working relay with its coil and switch contacts. You
can see a lever on the left being attracted by magnetism when the coil is switched
on. This lever moves the switch contacts.

Protective relay And
Construction A protective relay is a complex
electromechanical apparatus,often with more than one coil,designed to calculate operatingconditions on an electrical circuitand trip circuit breakers when afault was found. Design and
theory of these protective devicesis an important part of theeducation of an electrical engineerwho specializes in power systems.Today these devices are nearlyentirely replaced (in new designs)with microprocessor-based
instruments (numerical relays) thatemulate their electromechanicalancestors with great precision andconvenience in application

Advantages of relays .
Relays can switch AC and DC, transistors can only switch DC. Relays can switch high voltages, transistors cannot.
Relays are a better choice for switching large currents (> 5A).
Relays can switch many contacts at once.
disadvantages of relays Relays are bulkierthan transistors for switching small currents.
Relays cannot switch rapidly (except reed relays), transistors canswitch many times per second.
Relays use more powerdue to the current flowing through their
coil. Relays require more current than many ICs can provide, so a
low power transistor may be needed to switch the current for therelay's coil.
