 What is directional overcurrent relay?
• Directional overcurrent relays (67) respond to excessive current flow
in a particular direction in the power system. The relay typically
consists of two elements. One is a directional element, which
determines the direction of current flow with respect to a voltage
reference.

• Directional overcurrent relay work…?

• An overcurrent relay is a type of protective relay which operates when the load
current exceeds a pickup value. ... In a typical application, the over current relay is
connected to a current transformer and calibrated to operate at or above a
specific current level.
Constructional details:
Fig. shows the constructional details of a
typical induction type directional overcurrent
relay. It consists of two relay elements
mounted on a common case viz.

(i) directional element and

(ii) non-directional element.
(i) Directional element: It is essentially a directional power relay which operates when power flows in a
specific direction. The potential coil of this element is connected through a potential transformer (P.T.)
to the system voltage.

(ii) Non-directional element. It is an overcurrent element similar in all respects to a non-directional

overcurrent relay.
