Prof. Ramzi Salem Ali and Prof. Jawad Radi Mahmoud, in the College of Engineering at the University of Basra, published a paper on (Designing educational electrical protection relays by adopting the PLC and HMI) in cooperation with a professor from the University of Bradford, Dr. Raed Abdul-Hamid in the journal

Electronics (Switzerland), published by MDPI-Publisher, and the magazine is among the Clarivate containers with an impact factor of 1.764 and Scopes with an impact factor of 2.49

The research included designing and realizing a laboratory board for the power protection system using PLC and HMI controllers. This burst provides interaction between the student and the power systems protection system for different types of relays such as high current detection relays, high voltage detection, low voltage detection relays, phase differential current and other characteristics

The research aims to give the student a practical dimension in order to find a mixture between the practical and theoretical aspects of the electrical engineering student
