The circuit breaker after taking the command from the protective relay, disconnect the faulted element. By clearing the fault fast with the help of fast-acting protective relay and associated circuit breaker, the damage to the apparatus is reduced, and the resultant hazards like fire, the risk of the life is reduced, by removing the particularly faulted section.https://circuitglobe.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/basic-connection-diagram-of-connecting-relay-compressor.jpg
