✅ IDMT Over current Protection – How to select Pick up, Curve and Time Dial Setting
✅ When to use Definite Time and when to use Instantaneous Over current Protection
✅ IDMT Earth Fault Protection – How to select Pick up, Curve and Time Dial Setting
✅ manual calculation
CT Ratio:
IDMT
- Should not trip for motor starting (Motor starting current 6 / 7.2 / 10 times)
- Should not trip for transformer energisation (Transformer inrush current could be 6 to
12 times of FLA)
- Should not trip for Capacitor switching (APFC)
- This should have coordination with downstream relay
- Ensure that overloading capability of equipment is utilised without tripping
- Ensure that equipment is protected against damage
Instant OC – 50
- Pick up
o Above Starting Current
o Above inrush and Through fault for transformer
o Above inrush current for capacitor
o Importance to RMS – Includes DC, Harmonics
