    How to calculate the operating current of relay protection

    Use this Protection Relay Setting Calculator to calculate pickup current, time multiplier settings (TMS), operating time, coordination time interval (CTI), and plug setting multiplier (PSM) using fault current, CT ratio, and IEC 60255 curve parameters. Pick Up Current Definition: The current level at which the relay begins to operate, overcoming the controlling force. Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM):. Coordinating overcurrent relays across multiple protection zones is one of the most consequential tasks in power system design — get it wrong and a single downstream fault trips an entire substation. In the above figure, the over-current relay time characteristics are shown. Proper relay settings provide fault detection, coordination, & system stability, which prevents equipment damage and reduces. This calculator performs basic distribution system protection calculations, including base current, secondary current, plug setting multiplier, and relay operating time.
