Power system protection is the field of electrical engineering concerned with detecting faults (like short circuits or overloads) in power grids and isolating them quickly using relays, circuit breakers, and other protective devices. It aims to minimize equipment damage, prevent cascading failures, and maintain system stability and safety. Protection engineers design and coordinate these schemes for utilities, substations, and industrial power systems.
