VOLTAGE DEPENDENT OVER CURRENT

- WHEN O/C FAULT, TERMINAL VOLTAGE REDUCES. - RELAY MAY NOT TRIP, SINCE FAULT CURRENT THROUGH RELAY MAY BE LESS THAN SET POINT

NECESSARY TO VARY THE O/C PICK UP SETTING WITH RESPECT TO VOLTAGE

VOLTAGE CONTROLLED OVER CURRENT

HAS TWO TRIP CHARACTERISTICS THE TERMINAL VOLTAGE DECIDES WHICH CHARCTERISTIC WILL BE FOLLOWED BY THE RELAY WHEN A FAULT OCCURS
