TCC curves typically consist of a horizontal time axis and a vertical current axis. The time axis represents the time it takes for a protective device to operate, while the current axis represents the magnitude of the current flowing through the device. Selective short-circuit protection can be achieved in different ways, such as: Time-graded protection Time- and current-graded protection A straightforward way of obtaining selective protection is to use time grading. Ensure that the minimium, un-faulted load is interrupted when the protective. A comprehensive relay library based on manufacturer-specific protection devices is available and can be used in steady-state and for dynamic simulation. Step-by-step tutorial on building a time-current coordination chart for a three-level protection system. Protection coordination is one of those skills where the theory is simple and the practice is. In an electric power system, overcurrent or excess current is a situation where a larger than intended electric current exists through a conductor, leading to excessive generation of heat, and the risk of fire or damage to equipment.
