Plug Setting Multiplier and Time Setting Multiplier are used AC Circuit
parameters are not so used in Numerical Relays but they are Electrical Drives
Hope your concept of Pick-up current of Relay is clear now. Your Email Please
Pick-up current = Plug Position x Rated CT Secondary
Current.
The plug or tapping is provided on the Relay Coil so that
changing the position of Plug changes the number of turns
of the relay coil as shown in figure below.
As shown in figure above, the plug is kept at 5. This means
that pick-up current of relay will be 5 times of rated CT
Secondary current. Likewise, if we put the plug at 8.75 then
pick-up current of relay will be 8.75 times of the rated CT
Secondary current.
It shall be noted here that we shall not bother about PSM for
instantaneous relay rather we shall consider PSM for relays
having characteristics of Inverse Time, Very Inverse Time
etc.
For our case, PSM = 10 (Please see the calculation and case
considered above in our discussion of PSM) and TSM = 0.5

for a CT: 400/5A, CDG relay or IDMT relay with plug setting of 5A.
what can be my time setting multiplier? please show calculations.

fault current may not be same for all the times right.so how can u
change the setting immediately

Sir,
I have one doubt,which one first operate Tsm or Psm ..as per u r
explanation Tsm is first operate then what is need of Psm…?

I think the PSM in case of 250A fault current with CTR 100/5 should
be 2.5 not 10. Because plug setting of 5 means 100‰
