5- Induction

• Application: Power Reverse Relay

• If the current coming from CT, hence reversed its direction
• Hence the torque coming from CT will be in the same direction of
the torque coming from the fixed source disk will rotate trip

I
t = k * I −1
OR
I = K * t −1
General
I = K * t −1/ n
Where 1/n =1/4 or 1/3 or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,………….. (time
