The fundamentals of protection relay co-ordination and time/current
Among the various possible methods used to achieve correct relay co-ordination are those using either time or overcurrent, or a combination of both.

The IEC standard for relay coordination recommends time grading between relays based on fault current magnitude and operating characteristics. For overcurrent protection, a minimum time
Overcurrent Protection Devices and their Time Current
These relays operate when the current exceeds the pick-up value after a set time delay. The time delay settings are adjustable and set following an overcurrent
FEEDER PROTECTION CALCULATIONS & SETTINGS
In OC relays the coordination is based on the relay time-current characteristics of instantaneous and/or time delay units. Instantaneous units should be set so they do not trip for fault levels equal or lower to
What is Protection Relay?
If the current increases the threshold value for a particular duration of time, the relay will send a trip single that will interrupt the circuit, this will isolate
Protective relay
A definite time over-current (DTOC) relay is a relay that operates after a definite period of time once the current exceeds the pickup value. Hence, this relay has current setting range as well as time setting
Relay Protection Settings (PSM, TSM, EL, OL, MF)
Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) indicates how many times the determined relay secondary current (typically the CT secondary) exceeds the relay pickup (plug) current. It is the key quantity

To maintain a constant reach, a distance protection element uses both voltage and current and responds to an apparent impedance.
Protective Relay Settings
As we are more familiar with settings based on how we set the electromechanical relays, this section describes the ways to set the SEPAM relay for phase over-current protection, in close relation to the
Overcurrent Relay
An overcurrent relay is a protective device that is used to trip or open a circuit when the current flowing through it exceeds the threshold limit set by the
