Introduction
every application products are impacted with multiple functions. The design is
also moving forward the miniature architecture; all this properties can be
and its applications are the oldest streams of engineering. In the present
scenario all the electrical protection systems are based on electro mechanical
devices. Though these systems are quit reliable and cheaper, it has certain
disadvantages. The electro mechanical protection relays are too bulky and
protect the power distribution line against earth fault in a particular zone or for
the theft control. The differential relay protects the zone of the transmission
line. The specialty in this project is the design is made on Atmega328 micro
controller, which is faster and controls the relay. This protection is developed
on basic components. If the relay will be developed with same facility by
electro mechanical component, then the cost and size of the device will be too
high. The use of Microcontroller reduces extra hard wares such as timers and
connectors etc. The controller is embedded with all the components. The
controller is the heart of the device and there are other hardware used for
signal conditions and comparison. In this relay there are two current setting
Design principle:
This relay works on the principle of current sensing. There are two special type
of current sensors used to sample current. The output of both the current
transformer are compared and found if both the C.Ts are reading the same
current then the transmission line connected between the C.Ts is found to be
normal and there is no fault. Whenever there is a line to ground fault in the
protected zone, then the current bleed on the short-circuited path so the
reading of both the C.T. s differs that output is taken into the microcontroller.
And microcontroller actives the relay and buzzer with a sms alert with the help
ADVANTAGES
