Protection relay setting is the process of choosing the current threshold and time delay at which a relay trips a circuit breaker during a fault. Current Setting: The adjustment of the relay's pickup current by chan...

Protection Coordination Principles Relay coordination is the process of selecting settings that will assure that the relays will operate in a reliable and selective way. In OC relays the coordination is based on
Use this Protection Relay Setting Calculator to calculate pickup current, time multiplier settings (TMS), operating time, coordination time interval (CTI), and plug setting multiplier (PSM)
In this method, an appropriate time setting is given to each of the relays controlling the circuit breakers in a power system to ensure that the breaker nearest to the fault opens first. A simple
Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM): The ratio of the fault current to the relay''s pickup current, critical for relay operation. Time Setting Multiplier (TSM): Adjusts the relay''s operating time by setting
Time and current settings of IAC relays are made by se-lecting the proper current tap and adjusting the time dial to the number which corresponds to the characteristic re-quired.
Time Setting Multiplier (TSM) scales the base time calculated from the relay''s characteristic curves. The curve provides a base operating time for a particular PSM which TSM
To avoid relay mal-operation, set Slope 2 as high as possible. Normally, a high Slope 2 setting causes slow tripping for evolving faults (external-to-internal faults).
There are many types of protective relay functions, but this presentation will focus on the most common type, basic overcurrent device 50/51 (instantaneous and time overcurrent).
The document discusses setting the time dial or time multiplier setting (TDS/TMS) for protective relays. The TDS/TMS should be selected so that the relay does not maloperate under normal conditions but
If it is more the relay will take more time to operate and vice versa. Changing the position of the TMS setting changes the distance between the contact of the rotating disk and the coil.
The selectivity diagram is a set of specific time/current curves which shows all the time/current curves, that is, the operating characteristics of the relays of the concerned chain of protection relays.
