The return coefficient (also called dropout ratio) is the ratio of the relay current at which the relay resets or drops out to its pickup current. It ensures that once a fault is cleared, the relay does not remain energized or operate unnecessarily due to minor fluctuations in current or voltage. A properly chosen return coefficient improves relay selectivity, reliability, and stability in the system .
