        Electromechanical relays of various types have been available from the earliest days of electrical power supply. Some of these early designs have been improved over the years. One of the most successful types of electromechanical protection relays has been the previously discussed inverse definite minimum time (IDMT) overcurrent relay based on the induction disk. With the introduction of electronic devices such as the transistor in the 1950s, electronic protection relays were introduced in the 1960s and 1970s. Since then, the development of relays has been related to the general development of electronics. By the late 1960s, extensive experience in the use of electronics in simple protection systems enabled the development of many quite advanced protection schemes and the first high-voltage substations were equipped with static protective relays. Over a period, these have been extended to cover other equipments such as transmission lines, motors, capacitors and generators. New measuring techniques have been introduced, measurements that are more accurate can be performed and high overall quality, reliability and performance of the protection system for high-voltage power systems have been reached. Developments in the 1970s concentrated on improving reliability through improved design of printed circuit boards leading to integrated circuits and general improvements in substation designs, particularly earthing. In general, most static protective relays of that time were designed to match or improve on the basic electromechanical performance features. Improvements introduced included low-current transformer burden, improved setting accuracy and repeatability as well as improved speed. Also, during this period, experiments were conducted in Europe, Japan and the USA to test computer-based protection systems based on the availability of digital electronics. This is particularly true with IDMT overcurrent relays, where it was both difficult and expensive to provide the inverse time characteristics by means of analog electronic circuits. However with the advent of microprocessors, it is much easier to provide the most commonly used characteristics such as definite time, normal inverse, very inverse, extremely inverse and thermal characteristics using different algorithms stored in the microprocessor
