Note:

1. Instrument transformers ratios shall be verified at site, before setting the analog channels during
Commissioning.
2. The O/C & E/F settings given here are only provisional. Based on the customer practice and/or the
operating time delay adopted in downstream / upstream relays, the settings should be corrected at site
to ensure proper coordination.

1. Non – Directional Over-current and Earth Fault Protection (51 / 51N) / REF615

Non – Directional Over– Current Protection:

The directional over – current protection setting is at set at 120 % of maximum rated CT current, therefore
the pick-up is set for 2400 A.

An IEC normal inverse characteristic is considered and the reset is instantaneous.

Figure 1: IEC Inverse Characteristics Equation

t operating time in seconds

k settable inverse time factor
I measured current value
I> set current value
α index characterizing the algebraic function = 0.02 for Normal Inverse
β constant characterizing the relay = 0.14 for Normal Inverse

Base current, Ibase = 2000 A

Full load current = 2000 A
Pick-up set, 120% of full load current = 2400 A
Operating value in primary = 2400 A
Pickup set, in % of Ibase = 2400 / 2000 = 120 %
TMS1 (k), = 0.21

The description of the parameters in the relay for directional over-current protection is as given below

1
TMS and pickup is set are only provisional in nature. TMS of 0.21 is selected assuming a trip time of 1
second for a fault of 10 kA. Actual TMS and pick-up to be adopted shall be co-ordinated downstream and
upstream relays
