Q1. The current rating of an overcurrent relay is 5A. The relay has a plug setting of 150% and
the time multiplier setting (TMS) of 0.4. The CT ratio is 400/5. Determine the operating
time of the relay for a fault current of 6000A. At TMS =1, operation time at various PSM
are given in table as-

PSM 2 4 5 8 10 20

operating time in sec 10 5 4 3 2.8 2.4

Q2. A 20 MVA transformer, which may be called upon to operate at 25% overload, feeds
11kV busbars through a circuit breaker; other circuit breakers supply outgoing feeders. The
transformer circuit breaker is equipped with 1000/5A CT and the feeders circuit breakers with
500/5A CTs and all sets of CTs feed induction type over current relays. The relays on the
feeder circuit breakers have a 125% plug setting and a 0.4 time setting. If a three phase fault
current of 7500A flows from the transformer to one side of the feeders, find the operating
time of the feeder relay, the minimum plug setting of the transformer relay, and its time
setting assuming a discriminative time margin of 0.5 second. The time- current characteristic
of the relay is –

Q3. Explain current setting and time setting.

The current rating of an over current relay is 5A. PSM=2, TMS=0.3, CT ratio =400/5, Fault
current=4000A. Determine the operating time of the realy. At TMS=1, operating time at
various PSM are:

PSM 2 4 5 8 10 20

Operating time in sec. 10 5 4 3 2.8 2.4

Q4. An overcurrent relay of current rating 5A and setting 150% is connected to the
secondary of CT of ratio 400/5. Calculate the current in lines for which the relay picks up.

Q5. An earth fault starting relay has a setting of 30%, and a current rating of 5A. It is
connected to a CT of ratio 500/5. Calculate pickup current in primary for which the earth fault
relay operates.
