Calculate Setting of Idmt

The document calculates the settings for an IDMT overcurrent relay based on feeder and CT details. It determines the low current setting should be 0.8A with an operating time of 0.271 seconds. The high current setting is 2.5A with an operating time of 0.34 seconds. Both settings satisfy the conditions of exceeding the overload current and minimum fault current thresholds.

Calculate setting of IDMT over Current Relay for following Feeder and CT Detail

Feeder Detail: Feeder Load Current 384 Amp, Feeder Fault current Min11KA and Max 22KA.

CT Detail: CT installed on feeder is 600/1 Amp. Relay Error 7.5%, CT Error 10.0%, CT over shoot 0.05
Sec, CT interrupting Time is 0.17 Sec and Safety is 0.33 Sec.

IDMT Relay Detail:

IDMT Relay Low Current setting: Over Load Current setting is 125%, Plug setting of Relay is 0.8 Amp
and Time Delay (TMS) is 0.125 Sec, Relay Curve is selected as Normal Inverse Type.

IDMT Relay High Current setting :Plug setting of Relay is 2.5 Amp and Time Delay (TMS) is 0.100
Sec, Relay Curve is selected as Normal Inverse Type

Calculation of Over Current Relay Setting:


(1) Low over Current Setting: (I>)

Over Load Current (In) = Feeder Load Current X Relay setting = 384 X 125% =480 Amp

Required Over Load Relay Plug Setting= Over Load Current (In) / CT Primary Current

Required Over Load Relay Plug Setting = 480 / 600 = 0.8

Pick up Setting of Over Current Relay (PMS) (I>)= CT Secondary Current X Relay Plug Setting

Pick up Setting of Over Current Relay (PMS) (I>)= 1 X 0.8 = 0.8 Amp

Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) = Min. Feeder Fault Current / (PMS X (CT Pri. Current / CT Sec.
Current))

Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) = 11000 / (0.8 X (600 / 1)) = 22.92

Operation Time of Relay as per its Curve

Operating Time of Relay for Very Inverse Curve (t) =13.5 / ((PSM)-1).

Operating Time of Relay for Extreme Inverse Curve (t) =80/ ((PSM)2 -1).

Operating Time of Relay for Long Time Inverse Curve (t) =120 / ((PSM) -1).

Operating Time of Relay for Normal Inverse Curve (t) =0.14 / ((PSM) 0.02 -1).

Operating Time of Relay for Normal Inverse Curve (t)=0.14 / ( (22.92)0.02-1) = 2.17 Amp

Here Time Delay of Relay (TMS) is 0.125 Sec so

Actual operating Time of Relay (t>) = Operating Time of Relay X TMS =2.17 X 0.125 =0.271 Sec

Grading Time of Relay = [((2XRelay Error)+CT Error)XTMS]+ Over shoot+ CB Interrupting Time+
Safety

Total Grading Time of Relay=[((2X7.5)+10)X0.125]+0.05+0.17+0.33 = 0.58 Sec

Operating Time of Previous upstream Relay = Actual operating Time of Relay+ Total Grading
Time Operating Time of Previous up Stream Relay = 0.271 + 0.58 = 0.85 Sec

(2) High over Current Setting: (I>>)

Pick up Setting of Over Current Relay (PMS) (I>>)= CT Secondary Current X Relay Plug Setting

Pick up Setting of Over Current Relay (PMS) (I>)= 1 X 2.5 = 2.5 Amp

Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) = Min. Feeder Fault Current / (PMS X (CT Pri. Current / CT Sec.
Current))

Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) = 11000 / (2.5 X (600 / 1)) = 7.33

Operation Time of Relay as per its Curve

Operating Time of Relay for Very Inverse Curve (t) =13.5 / ((PSM)-1).

Operating Time of Relay for Extreme Inverse Curve (t) =80/ ((PSM)2 -1).

Operating Time of Relay for Long Time Inverse Curve (t) =120 / ((PSM) -1).

Operating Time of Relay for Normal Inverse Curve (t) =0.14 / ((PSM) 0.02 -1).

Operating Time of Relay for Normal Inverse Curve (t)=0.14 / ( (7.33)0.02-1) = 3.44 Amp

Here Time Delay of Relay (TMS) is 0.100 Sec so

Actual operating Time of Relay (t>) = Operating Time of Relay X TMS =3.44 X 0.100 =0.34 Sec

Grading Time of Relay = [((2XRelay Error)+CT Error)XTMS]+ Over shoot+ CB Interrupting Time+
Safety

Total Grading Time of Relay=[((2X7.5)+10)X0.100]+0.05+0.17+0.33 = 0.58 Sec

Operating Time of Previous upstream Relay = Actual operating Time of Relay+ Total Grading
Time.

Operating Time of Previous up Stream Relay = 0.34 + 0.58 = 0.85 Sec

Conclusion of Calculation:

Pickup Setting of over current Relay (PMS) (I>) should be satisfied following Two Condition.

(1) Pickup Setting of over current Relay (PMS)(I>) >= Over Load Current (In) / CT Primary Current

(2) TMS <= Minimum Fault Current / CT Primary Current

For Condition (1) 0.8 > =(480/600) = 0.8 >= 0.8, Which found OK

For Condition (2) 0.125 <= 11000/600 = 0.125 <= 18.33, Which found OK

Here Condition (1) and (2) are satisfied so

Pickup Setting of Over Current Relay = OK

Low Over Current Relay Setting: (I>) = 0.8A X In Amp

Actual operating Time of Relay (t>) = 0.271 Sec

High Over Current Relay Setting: (I>>) = 2.5A X In Amp

Actual operating Time of Relay (t>>) = 0.34 Sec
