Rules of Thumb for MV Equipment
The intent of this section is to provide a range of typical settings. It is the
engineers responsibility to verify the application on an individual basis.
This section does NOT apply to equipment 600 V and below.
Care must be taken when coordinating a microprocessor TOC element with
an electromechanical relay downstream
downstream. The electromechanical relay may
respond to a fundamental phasor magnitude, true RMS, or rectified
magnitude .
