Protection systems are used to detect faults in electrical systems and disconnect faulty equipment to prevent damage. They aim to isolate only the faulty sections and maintain reliability of the overall system. Effective protection requires protective relays to be selective, secure, reliable and fast acting when responding to different types of faults like overcurrents, while also coordinating primary and backup protection across adjacent zones with some overlap.
