Microprocessor-Based Protective Relays This article describes the benefits of microprocessor （μP) relay performance and its capabilities beyond previous protective relaying technologies. This article also discusses a multiple quality-measurement approach to observing, measuring, and then calculating μP relay reliability and unavailability. This is an important consideration for industrial and commercial facilities that are being required to repair or replace old electromechanical or solid-state (analog and digital) protective relaying equipment because of equipment malfunctions, misoperations, accidental tripping, or obsolescent parts. Although μP relays have been commercially available for more than 20 years and researched for the past 40 years, industrial and commercial plant engineers tend to be more reluctant to embrace the μP technology. Electric power utilities in North America have aggressively selected to replace older protection equipment by upgrading and replacing the equipment with new μP relays whenever and wherever possible.This article is useful for consulting engineers, industrial and commercial electric power plant engineers, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) engineers who are interested in doing reliability and unavailability predictions for industrial electric power distribution systems that employ μP relays. Furthermore, this article assists thosemaking μP relay cost-versus-reliability decisions when performing facilities studies to evaluate and improve the system reliability or capacity of an existing plant. This article explores the benefits in performance (sensitivity and speed), reliability (security, selectivity, and dependability), availability, efficiency, economics, safety, compatibility, and capabilities of μP multifunction protective relaying technology over the previous existing technologies, namely electromechanical and solid state.The suggested typical values, quality measurements, and analysis of protective relaying performa
