    OVER CURRENT RELAYS GRADING

    Staffordshire University, Stafford, England

    Abstract Method
    In order to perform over current relays grading of a
    The exercise is to perform protection coordination
    system shown in Fig. 1, fault current at each level
    or overcurrent relays grading for a an electrical
    system and to consider following main points : of busbars needs to be calculated using the
    formula :
    • Measurement of Fault Currents on 11kV and
    3.3kV bus bar. IF = MVA
    1.732 X kV
    • Grading of P121 type over current relays by
    calculating operating times. It has been shown (Mehta and Mehta, 2003) that
    an inverse time relay is one in which the operating

    magnitude of the actuating quantity. At value less
    than the setting current, the relay never operates. Figure 2. Overcurrent Relays Characteristic Curves
