Investigation of the properties of reed switches in devices for resource-saving relay protection of the electrical part of power plants.

Resource conservation issues are relevant in the energy sector, for example, the development of relay protection devices without the use of metal-intensive current transformers. For the construction of relay protection devices, it is proposed to use reed switches. However, it was determined that the parameters of the reed switches are not constant and can vary with the magnitude of the acting magnetic flux. Additional research is needed to improve relay protection devices using reed switches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
