132/11KV Transformer HV Overcurrent and Earth Fault Setting

132KV Side
We need to set OC and EF Settings for this Transformer, other data assigned to us is

Now for setting purpose we need to find pick up and time multiplier setting values.

For Pick up at 132KV side,

We need to select CT for 132KV side, as full load current is 284.3096A, I can select 400/1 or 300/1 and as
fault current is 4.91times ( ) we can select CT with Accuracy limit factor(it is the ratio of maximum
primary current to nominal or rated primary current of CT) of 10 to 20. I selected CT of 400/1 with below
mention name plate data.

Selected 132 KV side CT nameplate Data

High system Voltage = 145KV

Power frequency withstand Voltage =275KV

Lightning impulse Voltage=650KV

Rated Primary Current=400A

Rated Secondary current=1A

Short time thermal current=5K/1sec

2
Short time duration current=2.5 time short time thermal current

Burden = 60VA

At 75 degree=0.75ohms

5P20

Issue is that Knee point voltage not mention, but we can find it via below formula,

132KV side Pickup setting,

We Select as our pick up current, Our , and our CT is 400/1, then replica of
is;

If we consider time grading of t=0.3sec and if TCC is SI, then TMS will be,

Instantaneous setting,

Will be 8 to 12 times,

Earth Fault Setting

For Earth fault protection, will be 30 to 40% of full load current,

11KV Side

We need to set OC and EF Settings for this Transformer, other data assigned to us is

Now for setting purpose we need to find pick up and time multiplier setting values.

For Pick up at 11KV side,

Selected 11 KV side CT nameplate Data

We need to select CT for 11KV side, as full load current is 3411.75A, I can select 4000/1 or 4500/1 and as
fault current is 4.91times ( ) we can select CT with Accuracy limit factor(it is the ratio of maximum
primary current to nominal or rated primary current of CT) of 10 to 20. I selected CT of 4000/1 with
below mention name plate data.

High system Voltage = 15KV

Power frequency withstand Voltage =275KV

Lightning impulse Voltage=550KV

Rated Primary Current=4000A

Rated Secondary current=1A

Short time thermal current=5K/1sec

Short time duration current=2.5 time short time thermal current

Burden = 20VA

At 75 degree=0.75ohms

TCC is SI, if desired time grading is 0.3 sec , Then TMs for it will be,

For Earth Fault Setting

Transformers neutral is grounded via Resistance of 5.3ohms,

So Earth Fault current is,

Our setting will be 10 to 40% of

Our CT at 11kv side is 4000/1 so our pick up at this current transformer is,
