  • Relay protection action time setting

    Relay protection action time setting

    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 changing coil turns, expressed as a percentage of the CT's rated secondary current. Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM):. The relay settings are first determined to give the shortest operating times at maximum fault levels and then checked to see if operation will also be satisfactory at the minimum fault current expected. It is always advisable to plot the curves of relays and other protection devices, such as fuses. Selective short-circuit protection can be achieved in different ways, such as: Time-graded protection Time- and current-graded protection A straightforward way of obtaining selective protection is to use time grading. Accurate but very delicate mechanism. Disk overtravel needs to be accounted for in coordination studies. PSM – Plug Setting Multiplier (Current Setting Multiplier) What is PSM? 2).
