    The document discusses overcurrent protection philosophy for transformers including landmarks, regions and suggested protection settings shown on time-current curves.

    The landmarks shown on a transformer time-current curve include full load amps, thermal damage curve, and mechanical damage curve.

    The different regions shown on a transformer time-current curve include the equipment operating region, equipment damage region, and protective device operating region.

    Overcurrent Coordination Basics Transformer

    Purpose

    The purpose of this guide is to provide a basic overcurrent protection philosophy for transformers.
    Transformer Overcurrent Protection
    Time-current curve (TCC) landmarks (figure 1)

    • All landmarks are based on the nominal kVA rating of the transformer
    • Full load amps (FLA) – located in the upper decade
    • Thermal damage curve – located in the upper 3 decades
    • Mechanical damage curve – located in the middle decade
    • Inrush points defined @ 12 x FLA and 0.1 seconds, and 25 x FLA and 0.01 seconds
    TCC regions (figure 2)
    • Equipment operating region – located at and to the left of the FLA and inrush points
    • Equipment damage region – located to the right and above the damage curves
    • Protective device operating region – located between the equipment operating and damage
    regions
    Suggested overcurrent protection (figure 3)
    • Set protection above the full load amps and inrush points
    • Set protection below the damage curves
    Comments
    • If current penetrates the limits of the thermal damage curve, insulation damage may occur.
    • If current penetrates the limits of the mechanical damage curve, cumulative mechanical damage
    may occur.
