Experiment-1
Objective- Determination of drop out factor of an instantaneous over current relay.

Experiment-2
Objective- Determination of operating characteristic of IDMT relay.
Apparatus Required: 1) Timer
2) IDMT relay (MODEL NO.ICM-21NP))
3) Auxiliary D.C. supplies = 110V
4) 1 phase Dimmer stat = 230V, 10A
5) Ammeter AC (0-15A)
6) Rheostat (38 ohm, 8.5 Amp)
7) Experiment Kit
8) Connecting wires

Procedure:
1. Make the connection as shown in the circuit diagram.
2. Select current setting (set phase trip) less than 100%, keeping phase TMS at
maximum position.
3. Select any time setting.
4. Switch on variac and check power ON indication provided on relay front panel.
5. Vary dimmer stat and observe current value till Pick-Up will show ‘Red’
indication when current value exceeds set phase trip position.
6. Switch OFF dimmer stat without disturbing its position with the help of DPT
switch. Also reset time.
7. Measure the relay time from timer by switching on DPT switch.
8. Now increase the fault current and note down timer time after switching ‘OFF’
and ‘DPT’ switch every time with same time setting.
9. Repeat same procedure for different time setting keeping current setting same.

Result: For lower values of current the “time current ” characteristics are inverse and for higher
value for current observed times are constant.
