For two-terminal or three-terminal lines where the remote station has a single-circuit breaker with breaker failure protection, set the relay to reach 125% of the Zone 2 relay reach.

In general, relay engineers have two “knobs” to adjust when creating settings for a protective element in a relay: sensitivity and delay. Raising the sensitivity of an element improves dependability but

Relay coordination is the process of selecting settings that will assure that the relays will operate in a reliable and selective way. In OC relays the coordination is based on the relay time-current

These settings may be revaluated during the commissioning, according to actual and/or measured values. Protection selectivity is partly considered in this report, and could be also revaluated.

Setting calculations require information about line and transformer parameters, CT and PT ratios, and arc resistance to determine impedance-based protection zones and resistive reaches.

When the protection is implemented using a current relay, the current value at which the relay should operate must be determined first. By means of the stabilizing voltage and the current setting, the
