Types of Electrical Protection Relays or Protective Relays
Types of protection relays are mainly based on their characteristic, logic, on actuating parameter and operation mechanism. Protective relays can be categorized based on their operating

Recommended methods for contact protection in DC circuits include both RC snubbers and MOVs, as described above. Location can be either across the load or across the contacts.
Protective relay
Providing the relay is free from dirt, the metal disc and the spindle with its contact will reach the fixed contact, thus sending a signal to trip and isolate the circuit, within its designed time and current
