Directional Relay: Directional relay operates when the fault is driving power to flow in particular direction. It senses the direction of current flowing. For example, consider a three phase synchronous motor. Assume fault on the system. Power supply to motor is not available. But 3-phase armature is rotating in magnetic field due to inertia. So motor starts generating power. Which feeds fault. To avoid this, Directional Relay is used.
