0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part 0 ) ( First Revision ) was adopted by the lndian Standards Institution on 15December 1986, after the draft finalized by the Relays Sectional Committee had been approved by the Electrotechnical Division Council. 0.2 Indian Standard on electrical relays for power system protection was first published in 1965. Since then, there have been considerable changes in the concept in the field of protection relays. In the meantime, a series of standards on electrical relays has been brought out at international level. This revision is being brought out, in a series of parts, to take into account the latest developments and to align with the international practice, to the extent considered appropriate. 0.3 This standard ( Part 0 ) is not complete by itself. It provides general information to help in understanding the format of new series. The requirements of individual types of relays are .covered in appropriate part/section of this series ( see 5 for more details ). 0.4 In preparing following: this standard, assistance has been derived relays. relays: from the

SCOPE 1.1 This standard ( Part 0 ) covers general introduction and common information pertaining to the series of standards on electricai protection relays, It also lists the parts/sections in this series and pro\,ides guidance for understanding the format used in this series. 2. CEKERAL INTRODUCTION

2.1 This series of standards is intended to collect together all the rcquir+zments pertinent to electrical relays for power system protection, both allor-nothing type relays and measuring type relays. It caters both for the general requirements of principal types and the particular rcquircments of specialized types of protection relays. This 2.2 This series is being published in various parts and sections. format has been chosen to facilitate future revisions or amendments and additions to take account of development at intcrnation;ll level in this -area. It is also felt that this format will help the user to select the parts/ sections oi this series relevant to his particular requirements. 2.3 In this series, as far as possible, text of international publications ( see 0.4 ) has been retained so far as the national conditions permit. At places, supplementary matter and requirements particular to this country have been added. 2.4 For certain requirements commonly applicable to all relays ( including relays other than protection relays ), separate scrics of standards Reference to these standards has been made in is being prepared. relevant parts of this series, covering the overlapping arcas and the additional requirements. 2.5 Reference may also be required to IS : 1885 ( Part 9) - 1986* for complete understanding of this series. 3. CLASSIFICATION 3.1 In line with the international practice, various parts/sections in this series are classified on a hierarchical basis as given below: General standards First level : Second level : Generic standards relating wholly or partly to a family of relays Third level : Standards applicable to wholly or partly to a particular group ( sub-family ) of relays Fourth level : Particular requirements or specifications relating to a specific type ( or pattern ) of relay

Some parts of the series are designated first level documents. Other parts are designated lower level documents, that is, second, third or of a type of relay are confourth level. Normally, the requirements sidered complete if fourth level standard on the subject has been brqught out. 4. EFFECT ON OTHER STANDARDS 4.1 This series of standards will collectively form the revision of IS : 3231-1965*. The question of withdrawing IS : 3231-1965* will be examined appropriately after the relevant parts/sections pertaining to the requirements of different types of protection relays covered in this standard become available. Also, since the impulse withstand test and high frequency disturbance tests now form separate parts of this series, the question of withdrawing IS : 8686-19777 will be considered on publication of this series. 5. LIST OF PARTS AND SECTIONS 5.1 The list of other par&/sections ( see 2.2 ) comprising the series, classilication on hierarchical basis in accordance along with their with 3.1, is given below: Part/Section NO.
