The various protective functions available on a given relay are denoted by standard. For example, a relay including function 51 would be a timed overcurrent protective relay. An overcurrent relay is a type of protective relay which operates when the load current exceeds a pickup value. It is of two types: instantaneous over current (IOC) relay and definite time overcurrent (DTOC) relay.

Differential Relay: Compares currents at two points; operates when there is a difference (used in transformers and generators). What controls it: Relay selection depends on input voltage, contact type, contact rating, load behavior, timing, isolation, duty cycle, and failure. Protection relays enable the safe distribution of electricity from the grid. Their function is to detect anomalies in the grid that could lead to dangerous situations and, if necessary, interrupt the electrical circuit for as long as necessary. They provide differential, overcurrent, and arc flash. Selectivity is a mandatory requirement for all protection, but the importance of it depends on the application.
