    Definite Time Overcurrent Relays

    Uploaded by

    Definite time overcurrent relays operate based on two conditions: 1) the current must exceed the pick-up setting value, and 2) the fault must be continuous for at least the time setting of the relay. Modern relays may have multiple stages, each with their own current and time settings. The operating time is constant and independent of the magnitude of current above the pick-up value. Definite time relays are easy to coordinate but have some drawbacks like time lag which is not desirable for short circuits. They are commonly used as backup protection for distance relays on transmission lines and differential relays on power transformers, as well as main protection for outgoing feeders and bus couplers.

    Definite Time Overcurrent Relays
    1)

    (Extract from https://electricalnotes.wordpress.com/2013/01/01/types-of-over-current-relay/)

    In this type, two conditions must be satisfied for operation (tripping), current must
    exceed the setting value and the fault must be continuous at least a time equal to time
    setting of the relay. Modern relays may contain more than one stage of protection
    each stage includes each own current and time setting.

    For Operation of Definite Time Over Current Relay operating time is constant

    Its operation is independent of the magnitude of current above the pick-up value.

    It has pick-up and time dial settings, desired time delay can be set with the help of an
    intentional time delay mechanism.

    Easy to coordinate.

    Constant tripping time independent of in feed variation and fault location.

    Drawback of Relay:

    The continuity in the supply cannot be maintained at the load end in the event of fault.

    Time lag is provided which is not desirable in on short circuits.

    It is difficult to co-ordinate and requires changes with the addition of load.

    It is not suitable for long distance transmission lines where rapid fault clearance is
    necessary for stability.

    Relay have difficulties in distinguishing between Fault currents at one point or


    another when fault impedances between these points are small, thus poor
    discrimination.

    Application: Definite time over current relay is used as:

    Back up protection of distance relay of transmission line with time delay.

    Back up protection to differential relay of power transformer with time delay.

    Main protection to outgoing feeders and bus couplers with adjustable time delay
    setting.

    2) Extract from:

    In this type, Two conditions must be satisfied for operation (tripping), Current must exceed the
    setting value and the fault must be continuous at least for a time equal to time setting of the relay.
    Modern relays may contain more than one stage of protection each stage includes each own
    current and time setting. Figure (11) shows a multi stage over current relay.

    relays

    with

    internal and external timers are as


    shown in figure (12), and figure
    (13) respectively. Definite time
    over current relay is the most
    applied type of over current. It is
    used as :
    1. Backup protection of
    distance relay of
    transmission line with time delay equal to fourth stage of distance
    2. relay which is 2.5 second in 220 kV lines, and 1.5 second in 66 kV lines.

    3. Backup protection to differential relay of power transformer with time delay equal to 2.0
    second in 220/66 kV transformers, and 1.1 second in the 66/11 kV transformers.
    4. Main protection to out going feeders and bus couplers with adjustable time delay setting.
