The input current to an overcurrent relay is 10 A.
Determine the relay operating time for the following current tap
setting (CTS) and time dial setting (TDS):
(a) CTS = 1.0 and TDS = ½;
(b) CTS = 2.0 and TDS = 1.5; (c) CTS = 2.0 and TDS = 7;
(d) CTS = 3.0 and TDS = 7; and (e) CTS = 12.0 and TDS = 1.

Example (Radial Feeder Protection Using ITOC Relay)
Design an inverse time protection scheme to provide protection for the following
figüre using Normal Inverse Time Protection
Trip Trip
Remember:
Relay b must provide protection load side after Bus B
Relay ab must provide primary protection for line AB, back
up protection for the load side
Two stage protection
Three stage protection

Solution( Use standart inverse time characteristic)

Trip Trip
1-If there is a fault within the load side, Rb provide primary protection and for
a fault current of 600A, it will trip after 0.22 s.
2- Relay ab will trip for the same fault after 0.63s as a back up protection.
Also Rab provide primary protection for the line setion AB:
Trips, for a fault current of 800A within AB, 0.5s

Trips, for a fault current of 1000A within AB, 0.43s

Instantaneous OC Protection
The closer the fault is to the source, the greater the fault
current magnitude, yet the longer the tripping time. The
addition of instantaneous overcurrent relays makes this
system of protection viable. If an instantaneous relay can be
set to see almost up to, but not including, the next bus, all of
the fault-clearing times can be lowered
Since the instantaneous relay must not see beyond its own
line section, the values for which it must operate are very
much higher than even emergency loads. Therefore, load is
not usually a consideration for the instantaneous relay
setting.

Set the instantaneous relays at buses A and B.

Check to see how the relay will perform for a minimum fault at
bus B. The minimum fault at bus B is 800 A, divided by the
relay pickup of 1350 A, giving a multiple of pickup of 0.59: the
relay will not operate.
Check to see how the relay performs at the maximum current of

1500 A. 1500/1350 gives 1.11:- barely above pickup.
This provides very little line protection and an instantaneous
relay would not be recommended in this situation.

Check the secondary current by dividing the primary current
by the CT ratio: 2025/20 = 101.25 A. Current over 100 A may
cause saturation of the magnetic components and is too high
for electromechanical relays. Depending upon the specific
design, this current may also be too high for both solid-state
and digital relays.
select the next highest standard CT ratio of 40 : 1. The relay
current then becomes 2025/40 = 50.63 A. Depending upon the
actual breaker and CT configuration, this change in CT ratio
may require that the setting of the time overcurrent relays, e.g.
may have to be recalculated.

Check the performance of the relay at minimum and maximum
current at bus A. Pickup at 1000 A is 1000/2025 = 0.49.
The relay will not pick up. Pickup at 3000 A, however, is
3000/2025 = 1.48 and the relay will pick up.
The decision whether or not to use an instantaneous relay

depends upon the clearing time of the time delay overcurrent
relay

Directional Relaying
As a radial system (switch X open), circuit breakers (4) and (5)

receive no fault current for a fault at F1. In fact, for this system
configuration, breaker (4) is not required.
In the loop system (switch X closed) we cannot set relays at (4)

above those at (5) to be selective for a fault at F2, and still
maintain coordination between (4) and (5) for a fault at F1.
Directional relays are required.
Occasionally, a point in the loop can be found when there is
sufficient difference between a fault in the forward direction
and one in the backward direction so that the settings alone
can discriminate between them.
For this to be a safe procedure usually a ratio of 4 : 1 between

forward and reverse faults would be required.
With switch X closed, assume that the current through (4) and
(5) for a fault at F1 is 100 A and for a fault at F2 is 400 A.
Setting the relay at (4) for pickup at 25 A gives 4 × pu for the

fault at F1 and 16 × pu for the fault at F2. This relay must,
therefore, be directional to see faults only in the direction from
breaker (4) to breaker (3).

Setting the relay at (5) at 125 A, however, allows it to have 3.2
× pu for the fault in its protected zone at F2, but less than 1.0 ×
pu for the fault at F1. It therefore does not have to be
directional.
However, such a condition may change with system growth
and pass unnoticed until a false trip occurs. It is therefore good
practice to use directional relays at both locations.

1. Three-zone mho relays are used for the protection of the power system shown in Fig. 4. Positive
sequence impedances are given in the table below. The rated voltage at Bus-1 is 500 kV and the
CT and PT ratios are 1500:5 and 4500:1 respectively. In a three-zone scheme for B3, Zone-1
protects 80% of line 1-2, Zone-2 protects 120% of line 1-2 and Zone-3 protects 100% of line 1-2
and 120% of line 2-3. (a) Determine the settings of Zr1, Zr2 and Zr3. (b) The maximum current
through line 1-2 during emergency loading condition is 1400 A at 0.9 power factor lagging. Will
any of the relays trip during this condition?
