Doing so may result in reducing Relay performance for insulation failure, contact welding, and contact faults, and might even result in burning or other damage to the Relay itself. Do not drop the Relay or dismantle it. Refer to the Safety Precautions for individual Relays for precautions specific to each Relay. Electric shock may. A relay that is correctly set for yesterday's system may become a serious risk after a plant expansion or load change. This article breaks down the most common protection relay misconfigurations in industrial facilities, why they happen, and how they impact system reliability and operational. onding to faults, ensuring the reliability and stability of the grid. However, unauthorised changes to protection relay settings pose a significant threat to the integrity of power systems. Although failure of a protective relay system may have severe local or regional impacts, most protective relay systems are not required to operate to prove they are in working order.
