"… Elmore has been nationally recognized for decades as an authority in relay technology. … [T]he language is clear, the math isn't daunting, and the many diagrams are a great aid to understanding. Elmore's book will continue to be a bible for the relay engineer, as the earlier Westinghouse publication was for so many years."

From the Publisher

Portions of this reference/text were originally published as Applied Protective Relaying, edited by J.L. Blackburn (1982). All chapters have been revised, reflecting changes in practice, while some entirely new chapters were stimulated by the rapidly changing protective relaying technology. The volume describes, in the most basic terms, fundamental concepts of relaying--detailing the applications of protective relays for the detection of faults in electrical apparatus and describing other types of relaying such as reclosing, monitoring, and load shedding.
