Modelling overcurrent protection

04/09/2009 12:52 PM

Hello..

Plz help me..i've a project which is modelling overcurrent protection using shunt trip CB 63A (3), current transformer 30/5 (3), combined overcurrent earth fault relays MK 1000 (3)..i assemble my equipment in parallel..i also use current injector..my objective is to show how time and current discrimination works..but my problem is..i dont know how to calculate the p.s.m and t.m.s..plz give me some ideas..

Thank You

Are you a student ?

You have 30/5 A CTs .

That is relay is of 5 Amp range. - current operated, self powered.

All you require is to make a graph for each relay elements. ( 2 oc , 1 e/f )

X Axis ... Current injected in to the relay Ir - 20 Ir i.e. 5 A to 100A

Y Axis ... Time require to trip

Set PSM =1 and TSM = 1

make a graph. note specifically 10* Ir, trip time - 1.5 sec,or 3 sec ?

then change TSM = 0.5

make similar graph.

Change TSM = 0.25 .

This characterstic curves now helps you to set the relay for any kind of installation for protection.

Same procedure you continue for PSM = 0.5 and PSM = 0.25, PSM = 2
