NOTE: Any two questions will be given
1) a) Show that the torque on the disc of induction disc relay is maximum when the phase difference
b/n fluxes is 900. [Art and Science of Protective Relaying by CL MANSON, Pg 35]
(b) Give reasons for the following:
(i) Bounce proof contacts are used in relays.
(ii) Pressure at the relay contacts is kept high.
(iii) The relay is designed for maximum torque/friction ratio
[Power system protection and Switch Gear by B. Ravindranath and M.Chander, Pg 44]
2) a) Find the plug-setting and time of operation of IDMT over current relay for each setting of the
bar

relayBus
shown
in fig below
Data: CT ratio : 100/1A, Relay rating: 1A
Rated full load current of induction motor: 90A
setting Range: 20-80% of 1A in 7 equal steps
TMS selected = 0.1 Fault Current If = 550A
PSM
Hint: Time of operation = 3*TMS/ ( log 10 )
[ Power System Protection by B A OZA, N K C Nair, Pg 49]
(b) Differentiate between the terms Sensitivity, Selectivity, Reliability with respect to their use in the
protective relaying field
[ Fundamentals of Power system Protection by S R Bhide, Pg 24]
3) a) How the operation of IDMT relay is different from other over current relays. How Can you
realize different operating characteristics in overcurrent relays.
b) Differentiate between induction disc and induction cup relays in terms of their construction,
operation and field of application.
4) a) Identify the electromagnetic relay which is noisy in operation and explain its operation. What
are the measures taken to minimize the noise?
b) Why different zones of protection of a power system are overlapped. Explain with example.
5) Consider the radial feeder as shown in fig. The CT Ratio and fault current at various substations A,
B, C, D are indicated. And relay setting of A 150% (TMS=0.45), relay setting of B 150%
(TMS=0.32), relay setting of C 150%(TMS=0.21), relay setting of D 150%(TMS=0.1). Determine
the operating time of each relay at various stations using standard IDMT Curve. Each relay is rated at
5A.

6) a) An earth fault develops at point F
on the feeder shown in the Fig, and the
fault current is 16000A. The IDMT
relays at points A and B are fed via
800/5A CTs: The relay at B has a relay
setting of 125% and time multiplier
setting(TMS) of 0.2. The circuit
breakers take 0.20s to clear the fault,
and the relay error in each case is 0.15s.
For a plug setting of 200% on the relay A, determine the minimum TMS on that relay for it not to
opearate before the circuit breaker at Bhas cleared the fault.
