Abstract
In the protection of electric power systems, a protective relay is defined as “a relay whose function is to detect defective lines or apparatus or other power system conditions of an abnormal or dangerous nature and to initiate appropriate control circuit action” [1]. The theory and application of the protective relaying is an important part of the education for an electrical engineer who specializes in power systems [2]. Multidisciplinary and integrative nature of the protection solutions requires new modeling, simulation, and testing tools to understand the diverse device behavior.
