Questions From Relay and Protection Scheme
Questions From Relay and Protection Scheme
These questions can be considered important but for future perspective it is wise to study all the topics that
I covered in class. The red colored questions are important from semester exam perspective.
1. a) An IDMT overcurrent relay is used to protect a feeder through 500/1 A CT. The relay 10
has a PS of 125% and TMS = 0.3. Solve to find the time of operation of the said relay if a
fault current of 5000 A flows through the feeder. Make use of the following characteristic,
PSM 2 3 5 8 10 15
Time for unity TMs
10 6 4.5 3.2 3 2.5
(100% current=1A)
