3. The settings of the instantaneous elements, and the pick-up and time dial settings
of the relays to guarantee a co-ordinated protection arrangement, allowing a
discrimination margin of 0.4,
4, The percentage of the 34.5 KV line protected by the instantaneous clement of the
‘overcurrent relay associated with breaker 6.
‘Take into account the following additional information:
1. ‘The p.u, impedances are calculated on the following bases:
V=345KV,
P=100MVA,
2. The settings of relay 7 ate:
Pick-up=4A
ime dial =0.3
Instantaneous = 1100 A primary current
3. Allthe relays have an IEC very inverse time characteristic with the values given
in Table 5.1
4. Relay data
Pick-up setting =1 to 12. in steps of 1A
Time dial setting =0.05 to 10 in steps of 0.05
Instantancous: 6 to 14 A in steps of 1A
5, The setting ofthe instantaneous elements ofthe relays associated with the feeders
is to be carried out on the basis of ten times the maximum nominal current.
6. The short-circuit MVA and fault currents, for a fault on the 34.5 kV busbar at
substation A, are given in Figure 5.20.
Solution
Calculation ofequivatent impedance
‘The short-circuit level on the 34.5KV busbar at substation A can be obtained from
the values in Figure 5.20 (183.11 MVA). Using ths, the equivalent impedance of the
system behind the busbar is calculated as fellows:
