4 Application
This composite relay facilitates combined three phase over current and neutral current relay functions
for use with selective short-circuit and time-over current protection of distribution feeders. It can also be
applied to feeder earth fault protection in solidly earthed, resistance earthed and isolated neutral
networks.
As multi-function solutions, these relays can be flexibly adapted to different kind of incoming and
outgoing feeders in varying substation environments. The NI 40/41 series of relays can be used for
protection of feeders of utility and industrial applications.
With its compact size and unique technical features, NI 40/41 is an ideal relay for retrofit, small
switchgear and switchgear with limited space. A small mounting depth makes it possible to install the
relay in places where space is money and every millimeter counts.

(E denotes accuracy in per cent, - = not specified):
The actual operate time of the relay, presented in the graphs in Fig. 40…43, includes an additional filter and
detection time plus the operate time of the trip output relay. When the operate time of the relay is calculated using
the mathematical expression above, these additional times of about 30 ms in total have to be added to the time
received.

If the set start current exceeds 2.5 x In, the At inverse time characteristic the effective
maximum permitted continuous current setting range of the low-set overcurrent stage is
carrying capacity of the energizing inputs (4 x In) 0.5…2.5 x In, although start current settings
must be observed. within the range 2.5…5.0 x In can be set on the
relay. At inverse time characteristic any start
