OverviewRelay typesProtection devicesProtective zonesFault typesTypes of protectionDisturbance-monitoring equipmentPerformance measuresThe relays can be classified by their sensitivity to the location of a fault: • a nondirectional relay does not provide an information on which side of it the fault is located, this is the simplest form of the overcurrent relay. For example, in a radial system of electrical power distribution, the current always flows to the load spokes, so there is no need to sense its direction, as an overcurrent condition always indicates
