Protective Relay Market Overview

The protective relay also known as protection relay is a smart device which accepts inputs, evaluate them with set points, and finally delivers outputs. Inputs may be current, resistance, voltage or temperature. Output can be visual feedback in the form of digital display or indicator lights, communications, alarms, control warnings, and turning power on and off. Protective relays are usually used by utilities and industries to protect costly instruments such as transformers and motors from damage. To make a decision a relay requires information from the system. These inputs can be gathered in several ways. Sometimes, the wires in the area may be connected directly to the relay. In some applications, additional devices are required to convert the calculated factor to a format which the relay can operate on.

Protective Relay Market Growth Dynamics

The global protective relay market is primarily driven by increasing investment in transmission and distribution infrastructure coupled with rising demand of protective relay for protecting industrial machinery from damages in case of electrical short circuits. In addition, globally increasing renewable energy generation projects and the rapidly growing urbanization and industrialization tend to increase the demand for the protective relay. Furthermore, increasing protective relay penetration in manufacturing sector favors the protective relay market growth. On a contrary, the high cost of installation and increased maintenance is expected to have an adverse impact on the protective relay market growth. Nonetheless, emerging market for intelligent controllers, growing power demands are some of the factors which may disclose new avenues for protective relay market in the near future.Request Free Sample
