Study Notes
Classification of Overcurrent Relays
- Definite Time relay: can be adjusted to issue a trip output after a specified delay when the relay picks up, with a fixed delay independent of pickup setting, used for short length feeders.
- Inverse Definite Minimum Time (IDMT) relay: inverse in the initial part, approaches a definite minimum operating time at high currents, widely used.
Instantaneous Relay
- Fast action, only pickup setting, no time setting, not suitable for backup protection.
- Used for transmission systems, setting based on symmetrical r.m.s. current for maximum fault level at the next substation.
Inverse Time Relay
- Operating time decreases as current increases.
Principle of Overcurrent Protection
- Relay decision based on current magnitude, used in radial distribution systems, principle used in overcurrent relaying and fuse protection.
Example Computation
- Instantaneous unit setting: 50% of maximum short-circuit current at CT connection point or 125% of symmetrical r.m.s. current for maximum fault level at the next substation.
- Relay R1: instantaneous and standard inverse units, zero sequence setting 20%, SLG fault current at bus A 480 A, at bus B 650 A.
- Relay R2: time dial setting 0.138, operation time 0.38 sec.
