Overcurrent Protection Exercise

The document provides an example of modeling overcurrent protection for a low voltage distribution system. It includes network data for lines, transformers, motors and protection devices. Settings are defined for overcurrent relays protecting the transformer and motor. Additional curves are created for the motor starting characteristic, cable damage, and transformer inrush current. A short circuit simulation is run to analyze selectivity between protection devices.

SELECTIVITY ANALYSIS

Set up and run a short circuit simulation on NMOT1 with the following parameters:

Go to “Diagram” and modify the colors of the curves. Add the damage curves, in order to
have the whole overview of the system.
