Determination of changes in the parameters of reed switches in resource-saving relay protection devices of the electrical part of power plants

This publication is a continuation of many years of research on the development of the basis for building a unique resource-saving relay protection, which does not use current transformers to obtain information about the primary current. The authors propose to consider the possibility of building relay protection devices with the use of reed switches as sensitive elements. However, an important issue remains the study of reed switches parameters with the passage of time and the number of actuations and returns.
