Relay Settings
A. Plug Setting:
Considering 1.2 times overloading, the overcurrent plug setting of protected
object should be 120 % of rated current.
= 500kVA x 1.2 ÷ (√3 x 12 kV)
= 28.87 A
Corresponding secondary current = 28.87 A ÷ 400 ÷5
= 0.36 A
pickup setting = 0.36 A ≈ 7.2% x In
= 0.5 to 20 A (steps 0.01)
Recommneded Relay settings = 8.0% x In
pickup setting ≈ 0.40 A
Hence selected pickup setting ≈ 0.50 A
(Note:Due to limitation of relay range ,we propose to select Pick up value 0.5 instead of 0.4)
B. Time Multiplier Setting:
Fault Current contributed by = 500kVA x 1 ÷ (√3 x 12 kV x 0.046)
transformer = 522.96 A
Multiples of Fault Current = 523.0 ÷( 400 /5 x 0.50)
= 13.07 A
0.02
As per IEC Normal Inverse characteristic = 0.14 ÷ [(13.1) -1]
(Refer 7SJ80 manual page 384)
Operating time = 2.654 sec.
= 2.65 sec. at TMS = 1
Operating time for Auxiliary Trafo 12kV side = 0.200
Since, 2.65 x TMS = 0.200 sec.
TMS = 0.075
Available setting = 0.05 to 3.2s (steps 0.01s)
Hence the selected TMS ≈ 0.080
Operating time = 2.650 x 0.080 ≈ 0.212 sec.
