Questions from Relay and protection scheme.
These questions can be considered important but for future perspective it is wise to study all the topics that
I covered in class. The red colored questions are important from semester exam perspective.
1. a) An IDMT overcurrent relay is used to protect a feeder through 500/1 A CT. The relay 10
has a PS of 125% and TMS = 0.3. Solve to find the time of operation of the said relay if a
fault current of 5000 A flows through the feeder. Make use of the following characteristic,
