    This document discusses overcurrent relays and relay protection coordination. It provides information on different types of overcurrent relays including instantaneous, definite time, inverse time, and inverse definite minimum time relays. Relay protection coordination aims to minimize the portion of the system affected by a fault by ensuring downstream devices trip before upstream devices. The document outlines the process for calculating actual relay operating times which involves converting fault current, determining the plug setting multiplier from time/PSM curves, and factoring in any time setting multipliers.

    OVER CURRENT RELAY
    &
    RELAY PROTECTION
    COORDINATION
    OVER CURRENT RELAY

     Overcurrent Relay is a type of the protection relay, which


    operates when the current increases beyond the operating
    value of the relay.
    Working Principle of Over Current Relay
    Types of Over Current Relay
    Depending upon time of operation, there are various types
    of Over Current relays, such as:-

     Instantaneous over current relay.


     Definite time over current relay.
     Inverse time over current relay.
    Instantaneous Over Current Relay
     The relay operates as soon as the current in the coil gets
    higher than pick upsetting current. There is no intentional
    time delay applied. But there is always an inherent time
    delay which we cannot avoid practically. In practice, the
    operating time of an instantaneous relay is of the order of
    a few milliseconds.
    Definite Time Over Current Relay
     This relay is created by applying intentional time delay
    after crossing pick up the value of the current. A definite
    time overcurrent relay can be adjusted to issue a trip
    output at an exact amount of time after it picks up. Thus,
    it has a time setting adjustment and pickup adjustment.
    Inverse Time Over Current Relay
     Inverse time is a natural character of any induction type
    rotating device. Here, the speed of rotation of rotating
    part of the device is faster if the input current is more. In
    other words, time of operation inversely varies with input
    current.
    Inverse Definite Minimum Time(IDMT)
    over current relay
     The characteristic is inverse in the initial part, which
    tends to a definite minimum operating time as the current
    becomes very high.
     Flux saturates at high values of current and the relay
    operating torque which is proportional to the square of
    flux, and does not increase substantially after the
    saturation sets in.
    Very Inverse Time Over Current Relay
     The inverse characteristic of the relay is more than the
    IDMT.
     Such type of relay is used in the feeder and on long
    transmission lines.
     It is used for sensing the fault current which is free from
    the fault location.
    Extremely Inverse Time Over Current Relay
     The characteristic time of the relay is extremely large as
    compared to the IDMT and the Very inverse relay. This
    relay is used for protecting the cable, transformer etc.
     The relay gives the fast operation in the fault conditions
    because of their fault time characteristic.
    Relay Protection Coordination

     Relay Protection Coordination means that downstream


    devices (breakers/fuses) should activate before upstream
    devices.
     This minimizes the portion of the system affected by a
    fault or other disturbance. At the substation level, feeder
    breakers should trip before the main breaker.
     Likewise, downstream panel breakers should trip before
    the substation feeder supplying the panel.
    Relay Protection Coordination

     Relay co-ordination plays an important role in the


    protection of power system.
     For proper protection, proper coordination of relays with
    appropriate relay settings is to be done.
     Relay settings are done in such a way that proper
    coordination is achieved along various series network.
    Relay Protection Coordination

    To calculate the actual relay operating time, the following


    parameters is needed:

     Time / PSM Curve


     Plug Setting
     Time Setting
     Fault Current
     Current Transformer Ratio
    Relay Protection Coordination

    The process for calculating the actual relay operating time is


    as the follows:
     Convert the fault current into the relay coil current by
    using the current transformer ratio.
     Express the relay current as a multiple of current setting,
    i.e. calculate the PSM
     From the Time/PSM curve of the relay, with the calculated
    PSM the corresponding time of operation can be obtained.
     Determine the actual time of operation by multiplying the
    above time of the relay by time-setting multiplier in use.
