Course Background
An important step in the design of any power distribution system is the time-current coordination of all
overcurrent protective devices required for the protection of the system and the connected equipment.
When a short circuit or an abnormal power flow occurs for a sustained period of time, the protective
devices should react to isolate the problem with minimum disruption to the balance of the system. This
is the goal of a well-coordinated electrical power system. The reader should be aware that this chapter
addresses only one aspect of system protection: overcurrent protection. For most large, mediumvoltage systems, overcurrent protection acts only as backup for primary protection and, as such, this
chapter is not a complete study of system protection. The operation of protective devices can be
estimated by graphic representation of the time-current characteristics curves (TCCs) of these devices.
By plotting these characteristics on a common graph, the relationship of the characteristics among the
devices is immediately apparent. Any potential trouble spots, such as overlapping of curves or
unnecessarily long time intervals between devices, are revealed. By indicating on the current scale the
maximum and minimum value of short-circuit currents (three-phase and line-to-ground) that can occur
at various points in the circuit, the operation of circuit protective devices can be estimated for various
fault conditions. An accompanying single-line diagram can indicate the components and define their
location in the circuit. (IEEE 242 Buff Book)
