Over Current (11kV Outgoing)

Stage-1: IDMT (Inverse Definite Minimum Time)

Setting= Feeder’s Maximum Load*1.2/1.3

Curve= IEC SI/NI

Tp=TMS= Lowest (Relay)= 0.025(MiCOM, ABB).... )/ .05 (Siemens)

Stage-2: DMT/INSTANTANEOUS

Current= 3*IDMT Stage

Time=0 sec

Earth Fault(Outgoing Feeder)

Stage-1 : IDMT

Setting= 20% of IDMT OC

Time Dial/ TMS = Lowest (Relay)= 0.025(MiCOM, ABB).... )/ .05 (Siemens)

Curve= IEC SI/ NI

Stage-2: DMT/INSTANTANEOUS

Current Setting= 3* IDMT OC

Time=0

Let’s consider 10/13 MVA Transformer, 33kV- 175 A, 11kV- 525A

11kV Incoming

Stage-1: IDMT (Inverse Definite Minimum Time)

Setting= 525*1.2 A

Curve= IEC SI/NI

Tp=TMS= Lowest (Relay)= 0.05(MiCOM, ABB).... )/ 0 .08 (Siemens)

Stage-2: DMT

Current= 3*IDMT Stage

Time=250 ms ((50ms (Relay time)+10ms(Lockout/Trip relay time)+100ms(CB time)+margin(100ms)

(5cycle, 1 cycle=50Hz, T=1/f= 1/50=0.02sec=20ms))

Stage-3: DMT/INSTANTANEOUS

Current= Maximum Fault Current*70% [at 11 kV (3Phase Fault MVA=10MVA/%Z= 10/0.08= 125 MVA, If=
125/(1.732* 11= 6.5kA)]= 4.5kA

Time=0 sec

33kV = 6.5/3= 2kA
