Schweitzer III invented the digital microprocessor-based relay as part of his doctoral thesis. Advances in power electronics Power system faults can happen when a tree or vehicle hits a power line, a grid operator makes a mistake, or equipment fails. The fault shunts extra current to some parts of the circuit, shorting it out.
