IEC 60255-1:2022 specifies common rules and requirements applicable to measuring relays and protection equipment, including any combination of equipment to form a distributed protection scheme for power system protection such as control, monitoring and process interface equipment . IEC 60255-1:2022 specifies common rules and requirements applicable to measuring relays and protection equipment, including any combination of equipment to form a distributed protection scheme for power system protection such as control, monitoring and process interface equipment . This VuSpec includes 47 active IEEE standards, guides, recommended practices in the Power Systems Relays family. Power System Relays Standards concentrate on the application, design, construction and operation of protective, regulating, monitoring, reclosing, synch-check, synchronizing and. Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide “last line” of defense for the electrical systems. They are intended to quickly identify a fault and isolate it so the balance of the system continue to run under normal conditions. Compliance with IEC standards minimizes system faults.
