Relay Protection Devices and Their Functions
The various protective functions available on a given relay are denoted by standard. For example, a relay including function 51 would be a timed overcurrent protective relay. An overcurrent relay is a type of protective relay which operates when the load current exceeds a pickup value. It is of two types: instantaneous over current (IOC) relay and definite time overcurrent (DTOC) relay.

Ultra-high voltage relay protection experiment report
In this paper, we present the real-world experience of implementing a UHS protective relay scheme on a 115 kV circuit at Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) and the driving factors to do so. Abstract—Breakthroughs in line protective relay design have brought about ultra-high-speed (UHS) protection elements that operate in a few milliseconds. IBRs provide additional load support and improve the renewable energy portfolio for PNM. However, IBRs also pose many challenges to PNM's existing extra-high-voltage (EHV) transmission line protection. Public electricity networks place very high demands on the protection technology needed to guarantee secure and uninterrupted energy supply. Protective mechanisms are needed to monitor electrical networks and equipment.
