Feeding arrangement shall be explained in the setting document (i.e. whether B/S or B/C at
downstream at BC will be kept normally closed or opened etc). Following is Guide line only, can be
revised as per actual condition.
A.4.1] O/C:
The Back up protections at BC station to be graded properly with KM station relays. At KM

station, the 33kV feeders will be provided with O/C instantaneous elements which will be operated
at 1.4sec maximum at a current of 5.0kA or more (Instantaneous setting O/C: Current setting-
5.0kA, Definite time- 1.4sec, can be revised as applicable). Setting document to be submitted for
KM approval. Reasonable setting shall be adopted after review of setting proposal by KM.
O/C elements at KM station shall be selected (preferably) with EIDMT curve for effective grading.
Current setting shall be chosen equivalent to 110% (maximum) of Cable capacity (In the case of Tx
feeder, 125% of Tx capacity. But it should not be above 110% of connected Cable capacity). Setting
document will be reviewed after submission.
A.4.2] E/F:
At KM station, the 33kV feeders will be provided with E/F instantaneous elements which will be
operated at 2.0sec maximum at a current of 150A or more (Instantaneous setting E/F: Current
setting-150A, Definite time- 2.0sec maximum). Setting document to be submitted for KM approval.
Reasonable setting shall be adopted after review of setting proposal by KM.
33kV Stand by E/F setting at KM station is 150A, Stage-1: 2.5 sec and Stage-2: 3.0 sec (stage-1 trips
33kV B/S and B/C and Stage-2 trips the Tx on HV and LV).
A4.3] 87L settings: Please see 'General Requirements'.

A4.4] F21 settings (if provided [not mandatory]. If F21 to be provided, CT adequacy to be proved
by CT sizing calculations): Please see 'General Requirements'.
A4.5] 49 element
49 element need to be configured only in the case of feeders and for only alarm purpose. Trip shall be
disabled in case of 49 functions, as per KM philosophy.
A4.6] F25 element

F25 settings- ΔHz-±0.5%, ΔV-±10%, ΔØ-±10° shall be adopted.
A4.7] 50 element on HV side of Tx

1.3 times the through fault current of Tx
A4.8] If DOC (looking towards KM network)/Reverse power (looking towards KM network)/UV

protection trips are implemented at BC end, its time setting shall be adopted in such a way that it
will not operate before the clearance of fault in KM network. 200msec can be treated as fault
clearing time by Main protections in KM network excluding any other unusual incidents including
Breaker failure. Hence it is recommended to adopt a safe time setting for these protections at BC
end to avoid unnecessary tripping and supply loss considering the equipment requirements at BC
premises. Also it is recommended to restrict these protections (DOC/Reverse power/UV) shall trip
only BC end CB and not sending Inter-trip to KM side. Any clarifications shall be cleared through
interactive meetings in which final solution can be formulated.

C) Guide line for CT selection:

Following Guide lines can be considered for CT selection. Necessary CT sizing calculations shall be
submitted for KM review.
General CT selection and CT sizing shall be as per following points. But for different typical
applications, the CT sizing shall satisfy as per the recommendations mentioned in the Technical manuals
(Application guides) of applicable relays provided by the relevant manufacturer.
1. In general the Selected CT ratio shall be at least to accommodate 1.25 times designated load
current.
2. The minimum continuous thermal rating of CTs shall be 1.2 and for transformer application it
shall be 1.5.
3. For Back up O/C and E/F and DOC applications, at least 5P20 class CTs shall be used. In general
the CT ratio shall be selected in such a way that the CT secondary current generally does not
exceed 20 times rated current under the maximum symmetrical primary fault current i.e
equivalent to switch gear SC rating, but there can be exceptions in specific cases like 11kV
outgoing feeders etc.
4. For Main protection applications (such as 87L, F21, REF, 87T, BBP & BFP etc) the CT selected
shall not saturate up to the fault current equivalent to the SC switch gear rating.
5. X/R value of Circuit Breaker shall be taken for all CT sizing calculations. For Transformer
and Reactor application it shall be worked based on the CB X/R ratio and
Transformer/Reactor X/R ratio together (combined X/R).
6. High Impedance Differential protection (REF, high impedance Bus bar, etc.) applications- All
CTs included in the circuit (like Tx NCT and Main CTs) shall be of same CT ratio and of similar
characteristics (Vk, Io, etc.). Also the magnetization current shall be minimum such a way that it
shall be possible to set the relay operation current at 10% of the nominal rated current of the
equipment protected. NCT shall be installed outside the Neutral bushing of Tx. The CT shall be
provided with adequate protections from environmental conditions as per relevant IEC or other
International standards applicable.
7. Cables, wired leads, relays and all other devices connected in secondary current circuit must be
checked for the thermal capability under worst primary current conditions. It should also be noted
that the Delta connected CTs produce currents in the cables and relays that are √3 times the CT
secondary currents.
8. While high currents for SC conditions are expected to last for relatively short time, system
failures can also result in longer fault durations. Energy dissipated in CT secondary windings and
Cables is generally not a concern because of relatively higher thermal capacity. However, in very
high current applications, it should be specifically verified that the relays, BCU and Meters
connected to the CT secondary have sufficiently high short time thermal capability in the worst
system fault conditions. This is particularly applicable to measuring instruments/ meters/ BCUs
where the CT will be directly connected to these devices and the insufficient thermal ratings of
these instruments may become vital to cause failure (burning of components of these equipments)
of these equipments. If the thermal rating of these type of equipments (not protective relays) is not
sufficient to handle the abovementioned situations, necessary ICTs (of Classes of early saturation)
shall be provided in the Main CT circuits from which these equipments can be connected. CT
sizing calculations shall clearly mention this point and prove by necessary justifications.
9. In all case of applications of multi-ratio or dual ratio CTs, the operating Tap and /or applicable tap
must be underlined in documentations wherever applicable. It should be noted that the CT
parameters (except rated CT primary current) shall be specified at above underlined tap.
10. For Spare feeders the ratio of CTs shall be selected such a way that it is suitable for both line
feeder application and transformer feeder application.

CT adequacy calculations:
1. For Vk calculations, minimum of 300m (total of 600m-2 runs), 4mm² (higher cross-section can be
used if required) copper CT secondary cable shall be considered. Final calculations shall be based
on the actual measurements of lead burden at site.
2. Burden-To ensure the CT has high enough burden rating to handle the connected burden, it is
necessary to work out the CTs continuous VA rating using following formula- VAct > In² (2Rl
+Rr), where VAct- CT output burden in VA, Rl- Resistance of single lead from relay to CT (Ω),
Rr-Resistance of relay current circuits (Relay burden in VA/Ir²), Ir-Relay rated current, In-CT
secondary rated current.
3. In general, all outgoing feeder CTs used for Main line protections shall be sized suitable for
F21 applications, at the lowest tap- as follows: Ua1≥ k*If1 * (X/R+1) * (Rct+Rl+Rr) (for three
phase fault), Ua1≥ k*Ife1 * (Xe/Re+1) * (Rct+2Rl+Rr+Rre) (for single phase fault). Lead burden
of minimum of 300m (total of 600m-2 runs), 4mm² (higher cross-section, if required) copper CT
secondary wiring shall be considered. Minimum length of line 1km to be taken for calculations.
Zone-1 as 70% of length of the feeder to be considered. The highest of above two values should
be used for sizing the CT (Ua1-Excitation limiting secondary voltage as per IEC 60044-6, k-
safety factor constant=1.25, If1-maximum secondary fault current for a 3-phase fault at Zone-1
reach points for F21 relays (Switchgear rating should be taken for calculations), Ife1- maximum
secondary fault current for an Earth fault at Zone-1 reach points for F21 relays (Switchgear rating
should be taken for calculations), X/R (and Xe/Re)- Value of CB shall be taken, Rct- CT
secondary winding resistance, Rl- Resistance of single lead from relay to CT (Ω), Rr-Resistance
of relay current circuits (Relay burden in VA/Ir²), Rre- Resistance of current circuit of relay earth
fault unit.
4. Transformer bays: Ua1≥ k*If1 * (X/R+1) * (Rct+Rl+Rr). As rule of thumb, if the CT secondary
maximum symmetrical internal fault current (If) multiplied by the total secondary burden is less
than half the „Knee point voltage‟ of the CT, its performance will be satisfactory. This allows
some room for DC offset (asymmetry) and remnance before the CT saturates. „If‟ can be
switchgear fault level.
5. Bus Bar Protection CTs: The General requirements for the CTs on individual circuits are given
by: Vk> KIn (Rct+2Rl+Rr+Z) where K=20 or If/In as applicable , Rr-ohmic burden of relay
under consideration on CT circuit, Z- ohmic burden on CT circuit of loads connected in series
with relay under consideration. In addition, the magnetizing current taken by the CT at the
limiting secondary voltage should be less than Ie= Vk/20 (Rct+2Rl+B+Z).
6. REF protection CTs: All CTs shall be of same ratio and identical characteristics. Voltage setting
in Relay Vs=K If [Rct+2Rl) where K=1.5, If= maximum through fault current. It shall be proved
that Kpv>4Vs.
7. Inverse time O/C relays: For all types of close-up faults (e.g specially 3phase and line to ground
faults whichever produces highest current) the performance of the CT should be checked using
the following formula irrespective of as to whether CT is as per IEC 60044-6/60185 or ANSI C
57.13 (in case of ANSI, Ual shall be replaced by Vk) Ual≥ K If (Rct+2Rl+Rr+Rb) where K-
constant 1.2, If-Highest secondary fault current equal to switch gear rating, Rct-CT secondary
resistance, Rl-Cable lead resistance, Rr-Relay resistance at selected tap, Rb-Resistance of other
connected burden. The Instantaneous element of O/C must be able to operate for the highest fault
current up to switch gear fault level where expansion of the system up to the switch gear fault
level are envisaged and this should be specifically checked. The accuracy limit factor together
with the connected relay burden of CT shall be at least as high as the Instantaneous current setting
to ensure fast relay operation.
8. Irrespective of all above the CT shall also meet the requirement specified by the relay
manufacturer for each application.

communication error occurs or if the Communication settings are set wrongly and subsequent error happens
in the communication of 87C relays. Transmission time delay between end relays shall not exceed the

failure/differential block (Z1 shall get enabled only on Failure of both FO channels together), and Zone-
2/Zone-3 shall be active always. A time setting of Higher value chosen arbitrarily (e.g 5.0 sec) for Zone-3.
This time setting can be adopted so that this element is virtually disabled for operation facilitating enabling
any time with only revision of time setting to the desired value. BC shall discuss with KM to finalize the
philosophy during Relay setting workshop/meeting.
7. Cable feeders of length less than 1km, Relay shall have F21 element and CT to be sized accordingly. F21
function shall be enabled in Main-1 & Main-2 relays for Zone-2 only. Zone-1 and Zone-3 shall be kept
