Determine the time of operation of an IDMT relay (R) having normal inverse
characteristics for a fault current of 2000 A. The setting range of the relay is 50%-
200% of 1 A in steps of 25%. The PS and TDS of an IDMT relay are 100% of 1 A
and 0.2, respectively. The CT used has ratio of 5000/5 A.

Fig. 1 shows a single line diagram of a radial feeder wherein definite time overcurrent
relays are used for protection. The time of operation of the relay R3 is 0.2 s for the
worst fault. Assuming the coordination time interval between two successive relays
as 0.25 s, determine the time of operation of relays R1 and R2 for a fault in section III.

a) 0.4 s and 0.6 s
b) 0.45 s and 0.7 s
c) 0.65 s and 0.35 s
d) 0.2 s and 0.45 s
Solution:
(b)
Time of operation of relay R3 is 0.2 second for the worst fault.

Time of operation of relay R2 (considering time margin of 0.25 sec between relays R2 and R3)
will be equal to
0.25 + 0.2 = 0.45 sec.

Similarly, time of operation of relay R1 (considering time margin of 0.25 sec between relays
R1 and R2) will be equal to
0.45 + 0.25 = 0.7 sec.
Two relays RB and RA are connected in two sections of a feeder, as shown in Fig. 2.
CTs ratios of both CTs are 1000/5 A. The plug setting of relay RA is 100% and RB is
125% of CT secondary, respectively. The operating time characteristic of the relay is
normal inverse IDMT. The TDS of the relay RB is 0.3. The time grading scheme has
a minimum coordination time interval of 0.2s between two successive relays. A three-
phase short circuit, which occurs at f, results in a fault current of 4000 A. Determine
the actual operating time of the relay RA if RB fails to operate.
