PSM = (I fault / CT Ratio) / PS x CT Secondary

Example
I fault = 523A
CT = 100/5 = 20
PS = 0.7

I fault / CT Ratio = 523 A / 100/5 = 26.15


PS x CT Secondary = 0.7 x 5 = 3.5
PSM = 26.15 / 3.5 = 7.47

Calculate IDMT over Current Relay Setting


(50/51)
 Calculate setting of IDMT over Current Relay for following
Feeder and CT Detail
 Feeder Detail: Feeder Load Current 384 Amp, Feeder Fault
current Min11KA and Max 22KA.
 CT Detail: CT installed on feeder is 600/1 Amp. Relay Error
7.5%, CT Error 10.0%, CT over shoot 0.05 Sec, CT
interrupting Time is 0.17 Sec and Safety is 0.33 Sec.
 IDMT Relay Detail:
 IDMT Relay Low Current setting: Over Load Current setting
is 125%, Plug setting of Relay is 0.8 Amp and Time Delay
(TMS) is 0.125 Sec, Relay Curve is selected as Normal
Inverse Type.
 IDMT Relay High Current setting :Plug setting of Relay is 2.5
Amp and Time Delay (TMS) is 0.100 Sec, Relay Curve is
selected as Normal Inverse Type

Calculation of Over Current Relay Setting:

(1) Low over Current Setting: (I>)

 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 it’s 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

(2) High over Current Setting: (I>>)

 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 2.5 =
2.5 Amp
 Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) = Min. Feeder Fault Current /
(PMS X (CT Pri. Current / CT Sec. Current))
 Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) = 11000 / (2.5 X (600 / 1)) = 7.33
 Operation Time of Relay as per it’s 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 / (
(7.33)0.02-1) = 3.44 Amp
 Here Time Delay of Relay (TMS) is 0.100 Sec so
 Actual operating Time of Relay (t>) = Operating Time of
Relay X TMS =3.44 X 0.100 =0.34 Sec
 Grading Time of Relay = [((2XRelay Error)+CT Error)XTMS]+
Over shoot+ CB Interrupting Time+ Safety
 Total Grading Time of
Relay=[((2X7.5)+10)X0.100]+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 = 0.34 + 0.58 =
0.85 Sec

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
