Over current & Earth fault relay co-ordination

Over current fault relay co-ordination:

RELAY MICOM P123 SETTINGS (Relay 1 for incoming 1 & Relay 2 for incoming 2)

Relay Location: 15kV incomer feeder panel (15kV Switchboard)

Protection Functions: 50/51, 50N/51N

BASIC FAULT CALCULATION:-

Fault level at 15 kV Bus:

Our transmission system is an interconnected system. We have kept some grading

In the operating time in system according to voltage level. If fault occur on down

Stream feeder, it cleared the fault. In case of fault not clear by the feeder than

Upstream feeder will trip it. For this purpose we use IDMT (Inverse Definite

Minimum Time Characteristic Curve (NI or SI) to calculate the TMS of each feeder.

Full load current of 25MVA transformer = 25,000/(1.732x15)=963.4A

Start current low = 110% of full load current = 1.1 x 963.4 =1059.74A

1059.74A =1059.74/1200 = 0.883In

Set it at 0.8In

Start current low setting = 0.8In

High stage is about 2-10 times of the full load current = 4 x 963.4A = 3853.6A (Assumption

Was made with reference to switchboard supplier)

High stage setting = 3853.6/1200 = 3.3In

Let the operating time of relay to be 0.3 seconds

The three-phase fault current viewed by relay is I3phf = 25000/(1.732x15)x0.1018=9452.639 A

Plug setting of relay in amperes = 9.811 A.

Therefore TMS of relay is TMS = 0.3*[(9452.639/9.811)0.02 –1]/0.14=0.3198

Since the TMS range of p123 relay is in range of 0.05 – 1 in steps of 0.05

Hence above calculated TMS is approximated to 0.35

Now as per the approximated TMS, recalculated operating time is:

Top line 4’ = 0.35*0.14/[(9452.639/600)0.02 –1] = 0.864sec. But old time setting is 150ms now
we have change the setting as follow
