Calculation of Over Current Relay Setting
Calculate setting of IDMT over Current Relay for following Feeder and CT
Detail
Feeder Detail: Feeder Load Current 384 Amp, Feeder Fault current Min11KA
and Max 22KA.
CT Detail: CT installed on feeder is 600/1 Amp. Relay Error 7.5%, CT Error
10.0%, CT over shoot 0.05 Sec, CT interrupting Time is 0.17 Sec and Safety is
0.33 Sec.
IDMT Relay Detail:
IDMT Relay Low Current setting: Over Load Current setting is 125%, Plug
setting of Relay is 0.8 Amp and Time Delay (TMS) is 0.125 Sec, Relay Curve
is selected as Normal Inverse Type.
IDMT Relay High Current setting :Plug setting of Relay is 2.5 Amp and
Time Delay (TMS) is 0.100 Sec, Relay Curve is selected as Normal Inverse
Type
Over Load Current (In) = Feeder Load Current X Relay setting = 384 X
125% =480 Amp
Required Over Load Relay Plug Setting= Over Load Current (In) / CT
Primary Current
Required Over Load Relay Plug Setting = 480 / 600 = 0.8
Pick up Setting of Over Current Relay (PMS) (I>)= CT Secondary
Current X Relay Plug Setting
Pick up Setting of Over Current Relay (PMS) (I>)= 1 X 0.8 = 0.8 Amp
Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) = Min. Feeder Fault Current / (PMS X (CT
Pri. Current / CT Sec. Current))
Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) = 11000 / (0.8 X (600 / 1)) = 22.92
Operation Time of Relay as per its Curve
Operating Time of Relay for Very Inverse Curve (t) =13.5 / ((PSM)-1).
Operating Time of Relay for Extreme Inverse Curve (t) =80/ ((PSM)2 -1).
Operating Time of Relay for Long Time Inverse Curve (t) =120 / ((PSM) -1).
Operating Time of Relay for Normal Inverse Curve (t) =0.14 / ((PSM) 0.02
-1).
Operating Time of Relay for Normal Inverse Curve (t)=0.14 / ( (22.92)0.02-1)
= 2.17 Amp
Here Time Delay of Relay (TMS) is 0.125 Sec so
Actual operating Time of Relay (t>) = Operating Time of Relay X TMS
=2.17 X 0.125 =0.271 Sec
Grading Time of Relay = [((2XRelay Error)+CT Error)XTMS]+ Over
shoot+ CB Interrupting Time+ Safety
