    Question

    Which relay is also called angle impedance relay?

    A.

    Impedance relay

    B.

    Reactance relay

    C.

    Mho relay

    D.

    Frequency relay

    Correct option is C


    The Mho relay is also known as the angle impedance relay. It is a high-speed relay that measures a component of admittance |Y| ∠ θ. When plotted on an impedance diagram, its characteristic is a circle that passes through the origin. 
    Here are some other characteristics of the Mho relay:
    · It is a directional relay that detects faults only in the forward direction. 
    · Its operation is most affected by arc resistance. 
    · It is used for the protection of long-line transmission lines.
