Calculate IDMT over Current Relay Setting (50/51) | Electrical Notes & Articles
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

Hello sir- what is the use of low over current(>i) setting and high over current setting(>>i),
sir i requesting you to post some notes on this topic
thankyou

dear elango,
Just sharing my knowledge, Always remember that we must limit ENERGY (thermal) of fault.
Since it is energy it is always consist of Power (P) which equal with current (I) and consist of t
(time). low over current is to limit thermal withstand of electrical equipment. Whereas high over
current setting is to limit short circuit withstand. short circuit withstand is not only dealing with
thermal but it is also dealing with electromagnetic force withstand of an electrical equipment,
such as busbar, bus duct, etc. Faster clearing big fault (it is dealing high current setting) then we
secure our structure of busbar/busduct to prevent system catastrophic. Setting high over current
setting shall be wise to distinguish between real short circuit and starting current.

Hello sir,
I am not clear with this explanation, can you explain with some example.
thankyou

Dear Sir,
What is the size of 3-core,11KV cable required for 1000 KVA, 11/.415 KV transformer.By simple
calculation for HT side current of 52 AMP, 3 core, 25 SQ mm cable will suffice. But i have noticed

that at some places 180 SQ. mm cable being used.Does HT cable selection is related with fault level
and HT cable at 11 kv should not be used less than 150 Sq. mm.
Pl. provide your valuable comments on HT cable selection for transformers.
Thanks.
Naresh.

For HT Cable one important criteria which need to be consider is Short circuit level.
Normally 11KV S.C level is 20 to 25KA at it varies according to Electricity provider company..
and normally 150 Sq.mm Cable S.C falls in 17 to 20KA. For HT cable you have to consider S.C
level of utility first than Current carry capacity of Cable.

Please let me know the details of selection of Neutral grounding resistance. What should be nGR
value for a 20 MVA, 132/6.6 KV Trnsformer, primary side fault 40 MVA for 1 sec
