One Case Study (Protection Relay-OC-

Setting)

We need to set overcurrent (non-directional) and earth

fault pick up values for 500KVA transformer (Dyn11) with
%Z=4.75, 11/0.433 KV auxiliary transformer feeder.

CT Ratios:

We can take CT with ratio ranging minimum from 50/1.

Accuracy limit factor ranges minimum from 10
I took 200/1 CT with class 5P20

Time Over current Relay setting (51);

We selected 120% of Primary short circuit current as our

pick up value.

If our time grading is 0.3sec, and our expected tripping
time is 0.3sec also (which means our t=0.6sec), our

Instantaneous Over current Relay setting (50);
