Abstract
The protection relay comprises a processing unit and temperature sensors associated to conductors, an ambient temperature sensor, and setting devices connected to circuits which perform tripping functions. A first short delay tripping circuit supplies a tripping order to a relay if a value of the temperature variation of a conductor exceeds a first setting threshold. A second long delay tripping circuit supplies a tripping order to the relay if a value of the temperature difference between the temperature of a conductor and the ambient temperature exceeds a second setting threshold. The protection relay is used notably for trip devices and circuit breakers.
