Rectifier Relay Protection Device
Electromechanical relays can be classified into several different types as follows: "Armature"-type relays have a pivoted lever supported on a hinge or knife-edge pivot, which carries a moving contact. These relays may work on either alternating or direct current, but for alternating current, a shading coil on the pole is used to maintain contact force throughout the alternating current cycle. The reverse current relay is designed to protect high-power DC rectifiers and their related circuitry. They are used in a wide range of applications, from transmission and distribution to industrial power systems. These numbers are based on a system that is adopted by a standard for automatic switchgear by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and incorporated in American Standard C37.
