minimum operating time delay in overcurrent instantanous relay
Pickup time of an instantaneous element depends on the digital filtering process in the relay and the extent to which the current exceeds the pickup point. Just above the pickup point it may
Instantaneous and Time-overcurrent (50/51) Protection
Instantaneous overcurrent protection is where a protective relay initiates a breaker trip based on current exceeding a pre-programmed “pickup” value for any length of time.
Instantaneous Overcurrent Protection (I or ANSI 50)
Instantaneous protection helps to protect equipment against phase-to-phase, phase-to-neutral and phase-to-ground short circuits. The protection operates with a definite time characteristic.

There are many types of protective relay functions, but this presentation will focus on the most common type, basic overcurrent device 50/51 (instantaneous and time overcurrent).
FEEDER PROTECTION CALCULATIONS & SETTINGS
In OC relays the coordination is based on the relay time-current characteristics of instantaneous and/or time delay units. Instantaneous units should be set so they do not trip for fault levels equal or lower to

Protective relay
An instantaneous over-current relay is an overcurrent relay which has no intentional time delay for operation. The contacts of the relay are closed instantly when the current inside the relay rises
