This publication is a continuation of many years of research on the development of the basis for building a unique resource-saving relay protection, which does not use current transformers to obtain information about the primary current. The authors propose to consider the possibility of building relay protection devices with the use of reed switches as sensitive elements. However, an important issue remains the study of reed switches parameters with the passage of time and the number of actuations and returns.

The paper presents the development of a microprocessor-based relay protection device on open architecture. Currently, there is a problem with modern microprocessor relay protection: the impossibility to replace the damaged element with alternatives from other manufacturers. The solution to this problem is the use of devices with open architecture. The study developed a structural model of a microprocessor-based relay protection device based on an open architecture with the industrial Internet of things application. Open architecture is achieved through open protocols and the principle of modularity. The industrial Internet of things technology transfers the control action of triggering blocking. A microprocessor-based relay protection device prototype based on an open architecture was developed. The simulation of the developed device was conducted. The appearance of higher harmonics and aperiodic components in the short-circuit current was not considered during modeling. Due to the study's limitations in the form of lack of load, current and voltage sensors, such as Hall sensors, and inductance coils, the subject of this study is only the speed of operation. A high multiplicity current generation setup was assembled for experimental testing. The developed relay protection device on an open architecture trips faster than the traditional solution. The application of the Internet of Things allowed it to ensure the blocking of non-selective tripping. The obtained results are provided by structural simplification compared to traditional solutions and speed of information transfer with the application of the Internet of things. The developed open architecture device with the industrial Internet of things technology application gives new possibilities for relay protection systems, including flexibility to meet the requirements in connection with the introduction of distributed power
