No. Question Ans. Unit


Fig. 1 shows a portion of power system network. The conventional primary
and backup relay is used for the system using IDMT directional and non-
directional overcurrent relays (as per the requirement). For a fault at F1 and
F2 (each occurs independently), which circuit breaker operates to isolate the
fault?

1. (c) 2
F1
F2

Fig. 1 Single line diagram of a portion of power system network


a) F1 = 1, 2 and F2 = 5,7
b) F1 = 1,5,6 and F2 = 6,7
c) F1 = 3,4 and F2 = 6,8
d) F1 = 1,4 and F2 = 7,8
What would be the % change in time of operation of an IDMT (normal
inverse) overcurrent relay if its MP changes from 3 to 9?
a) 50% increase in operating time
2. (b) 2
b) 50% decrease in operating time
c) 5% increase in operating time
d) 5% decrease in operating time
