The relay which do not use moving parts and use the solid state
electronic components such as diode, transistor etc are called static
relays.
Static relay consists of transistors, thyristor, zener diode, IC’s and
other power electronic devices.
They are now replacing the conventional electromagnetic relays
because of better performance.
Static relay consists of :
An input circuit that measures the value of desired property.
A comparator circuit that compares the measured value to a preset
threshold.
An optional time delay circuit that controls the timing of the switch
action after the input has reached the threshold.

Input element: The relaying quantity can be the output of CT
or PT or it can be the output of a transducer or it may be the
combination of various signals.
Measuring element: Heart of the relay
It compares the output of an input element with a set value
and decides the signal to be applied to the output element.
Output element: Signals obtained from measuring element
are required to be amplified before applying to the
tripping circuit.
Feed element: it provides DC voltage required by various
elements.

There is no timer circuit so that the relaying time is less
The relaying time may be in the order of less than 1 cycle
Mostly applied in the protection of generators and transformers against any type of
internal fault
It is very compact and highly sensitive for internal faults
The moving parts are absent.
Response is very quick.
Power consumption is very low.
Testing and servicing is simplified.
Sensitivity is high as signal amplification can be achieved very easily.
Because of less moving parts, maintenance is less.
Resetting time can be reduces due to absence of mechanical inertia
and thermal storage.
Less robust compared to electromagnetic relays.
Susceptible to the voltage fluctuations and transients.
Low voltage withstand capacity.
Additional DC supply is required for various transistor circuit.
Low short time overload capacity compared to electromagnetic
relays.
Relay characteristics vary with temperature and ageing.
Temperature error can be eliminated by use of
thermistor
Protection against voltage spikes can be provided
by filters and shielding
Modern power electronics devices are adopted to
overcome other limitations.
Switching of an AC load
Light dimming
Motor speed control
Ultra high speed protection schemes of EHV- AC lines utilising distance
protection.
Main element of the differential relay.
Used in over current and earth fault protection schemes
