Lockout relay 86

A lockout relay (86) is a type of protective relay used in electrical power systems to
isolate a faulty circuit or equipment from the rest of the system.

The principle of operation of a lockout relay is based on the detection of an abnormal

condition in the system, such as overcurrent, under-voltage, or overvoltage. When a
fault occurs, the lockout relay receives a signal from the protective relay and
immediately trips the associated circuit breaker. The lockout relay then remains in the
"locked out" state until it is manually reset, preventing the circuit breaker from being
closed and the faulty equipment from being re-energized until the fault has been
cleared and the system is safe to operate again.

what is mean by DC supply relay 96 and what the principle of work?

A DC supply relay (96) is a type of protective relay used in electrical power systems to monitor the
supply of DC voltage to critical equipment, such as control circuits or protective relays.

The principle of operation of a DC supply relay is based on the detection of a loss of DC voltage or a
reduction in voltage below a specified threshold. When the DC voltage falls below the set threshold,
the DC supply relay receives a signal from the protective relay or other device and immediately trips
the associated circuit breaker or disconnect switch, isolating the affected equipment from the DC
supply.

The DC supply relay may also include features such as time delay or manual reset functions, which
can help prevent false trips and allow for easier troubleshooting and maintenance of the system.

DC supply relays are important for ensuring the reliable operation of critical equipment in electrical
power systems, as a loss of DC voltage can cause malfunction or damage to protective relays, control
circuits, and other equipment. By monitoring the DC voltage supply and isolating faulty equipment,
DC supply relays help to prevent power outages, equipment damage, and other hazards.
