Over Load Current (In) = Feeder Load Current X Relay setting = 384 X 125% =480 Amp
Required Over Load Relay Plug Setting= Over Load Current (In) / CT Primary Current
Required Over Load Relay Plug Setting = 480 / 600 = 0.8
Pick up Setting of Over Current Relay (PMS) (I>)= CT Secondary Current X Relay Plug Setting
Pick up Setting of Over Current Relay (PMS) (I>)= 1 X 0.8 = 0.8 Amp
Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) = Min. Feeder Fault Current / (PMS X (CT Pri. Current / CT Sec. Current))
Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) = 11000 / (0.8 X (600 / 1)) = 22.92
Operation Time of Relay as per its Curve
Operating Time of Relay for Very Inverse Curve (t) =13.5 / ((PSM)-1).
Operating Time of Relay for Extreme Inverse Curve (t) =80/ ((PSM)2 -1).
Operating Time of Relay for Long Time Inverse Curve (t) =120 / ((PSM) -1).
Operating Time of Relay for Normal Inverse Curve (t) =0.14 / ((PSM) 0.02 -1).
Operating Time of Relay for Normal Inverse Curve (t)=0.14 / ( (22.92)0.02-1) = 2.17 Amp
Here Time Delay of Relay (TMS) is 0.125 Sec so
Actual operating Time of Relay (t>) = Operating Time of Relay X TMS =2.17 X 0.125 =0.271 Sec
Grading Time of Relay = [((2XRelay Error)+CT Error)XTMS]+ Over shoot+ CB Interrupting Time+ Safety
Total Grading Time of Relay=[((2X7.5)+10)X0.125]+0.05+0.17+0.33 = 0.58 Sec
Operating Time of Previous upstream Relay = Actual operating Time of Relay+ Total Grading Time Operating Time of
Previous up Stream Relay = 0.271 + 0.58 = 0.85 Sec

Page 2 of 6
Conclusion of Calculation:
Pickup Setting of over current Relay (PMS) (I>) should be satisfied following Two Condition.
(1) Pickup Setting of over current Relay (PMS)(I>) >= Over Load Current (In) / CT Primary Current
(2) TMS <= Minimum Fault Current / CT Primary Current
For Condition (1) 0.8 > =(480/600) = 0.8 >= 0.8, Which found OK
For Condition (2) 0.125 <= 11000/600 = 0.125 <= 18.33, Which found OK
Here Condition (1) and (2) are satisfied so
Pickup Setting of Over Current Relay = OK
Low Over Current Relay Setting: (I>) = 0.8A X In Amp
Actual operating Time of Relay (t>) = 0.271 Sec
High Over Current Relay Setting: (I>>) = 2.5A X In Amp
Actual operating Time of Relay (t>>) = 0.34 Sec

Dear Jignesh,
what is the best location of REF and SBEF CTs on Transformer side? i have 1000kVA Transformer and we are planning to mount
the CTs either in LV cable box, REF on 1C630 Neutral Cable and SBEF on 1C240 Earth Cable OR Below LV cable box in
Enclosure. Your suggestion please..

Dear Sir,
Please advice regarding df / dt relay minimum and maximum setting details.
We are using ABB make, REF type relay for 11kv grid feeder.
We are going to synchronize 30MW,11kv DG with this grid breaker.
Power failure time, I wish to isolate grid feeder.
Please advice.

Im working on Overcurrent relay setting of Primary Transformer Protection (2000KVA with 6% impedance) with 200/5 CT ratio.
Can you guide me on how to calculate min & max fault current.

Why in the standard IDMT td(I) calculation you havent divided by Beta i.e. by 2.97? as regulated by the IEC
Thanks

Dear Sir,
In your example for calculating setting of IDMT over-current rely mentioned above, kindly guide me how would you prevent
relay tripping from transformer inrush current when feeder breaker is switched on. You may assume any capacity of transformer
installed in the outgoing feeder in above example.

Sir,
I would like to known how relay can be wiried and implemented and settings and how its configured in relay panel.
And i had a doubt, this realy implementation and configuration and setting are different from one another??????
If its different plz give the notes to get the idea about that please sir
Thank you.

Respected sir,
For IDMT relay having CT ratio 300:1, load current 470A, maximum fault current is 2380A and minimum fault current is 720A,
then how to select upper and lower boundaries on TMS & Plug setting of relay.
Kindly guide me sir, looking forward for your positive reply.
