Introduction to
P rotective Devices in
E lectrical Networks
Protective devices in electrical networks play an important role in ensuring
safety and reliability of power supply. They prevent accidents and protect
equipment from damage, ensuring uninterrupted operation of the network.

Types of P rotective Devices : F us es ,
Circuit B reakers
Fuses: Typically cylindrical in shape with a visible conductor that warns of overloads.
Circuit Breakers: Box-like and reliable, with the ability to automatically trip during overloads and short
circuits.

Examples of Protective
Devices
Differential Circuit B reakers : automatic breakers with protection
against leakage currents and overloads.
R CD (R es idual Current Devices ): provide protection against
electric shock.
Relay Protection Automation (RPA): designed to protect electrical
networks from short circuits and overloads.

Short Circuits
1
Overloads
When the permissible load is exceeded, the current increases, which can
lead to overheating and equipment damage.
2
Short Circuits
Sudden insulation failure can cause a short circuit, which can result in fires
and system damage.

Leakage Current Protection
Leakage current protection is an important means of ensuring the safety
of electrical networks. Devices such as residual current devices (RCDs)
and residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs) provide protection against
leakage current, preventing hazardous situations.
