what type of relay has to be used for tripping the circuit from mains when a fault occur in a machi..

Answer / dev

It depends upon the fault i
mean if there would be any

then we use impedance relay
if u r talking about small
motor we can use overload
relay for heavy equipment
we have impedance relay
tripping relay mm30 relay for
every fault

i am using auto transformer for starting of induction motor to provide reduse voltages...but the principle of a tansformer according to definition"which transform energy to on circuit to another circuit with constant power and constant frequency". so if i am using reduse voltage then current obsely hige because power is same.but we use auto transfarmer for starting of induction motor to give low current.but here according to definition we are giving hige current.
