  1. The over current relays for the line protection and loads connected at the buses are shown in the figure

    The relays are IDMT in nature having t he characteristic
    top =
    0.14 × Time Muiltplier Setting
    (Plug Setting Multipleir)0.02 - 1

    The maximum and minimum fault currents at bus B are 2000 A and 500 A respectively. Assuming the time multipiler setting and plug setting for relay RB to be 0.1 and 5A respectively, the operating time of RB (in seconds) is __________.
    1. 0.023
    2. 23
    3. 2.3
    4. 0.23
Correct Option: D


For Real B
T.M.S = 0.1
P. S. M = 5A

top =
0.14 × T.M.S
(P,S.M)0.02 - 1

Ifault(max) = 2000A
Ifault (min) = 500
A Maximum load current at C = 100A
For a setting current of 1A, plug setting is 100%
PSM =
Max fault current
CT ratio × current setting

=
2000
= 20
100 × 1

top =
0.14 × T.M.S
(P,S.M)0.02 - 1

=
0.14 × 0.1
= 0.227 ≈ 0.23 sec
(20)0.02 - 1
