Question

What does instantaneous operation mean for Motor Protective Relays?

Answer



Instantaneous operation refers to Relays operating the instant that an overcurrent is detected. A starting current flows in motors, so Relays do not operate for a certain time during startup and then switches to instantaneous relays operation. This is referred to as instantaneous operation with a startup lock.
