Relay protection current coordination time
The IEC standard for relay coordination recommends time grading between relays based on fault current magnitude and operating characteristics. For overcurrent protection, a minimum time margin of 0. 5 seconds is often maintained between primary and backup relays. Ensure that the minimium, un-faulted load is interrupted when the protective. Further, the duration of the voltage dip caused by the short circuit fault will be shorter, the faster the protection operates. Thus, the disadvantage to other parts of the network due to undervoltage will be reduced to a minimum. Instantaneous units should be set so they. Increasing time dial moves the curve up.
