ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

During the selection of topic entitled as “ ” The help we received from our professors,
family, and friends is invaluable and we are forever indebted to them.

We would first like to express our gratitude to our Principal Dr.D.V.Ghewade,

Our HOD Prof. L.S. Patil and our Project Guide Mrs.
N.S.Patil for their immense support, suggestion, encouragement and interest in our
micro project work. Without their invaluable suggestions our project selection
would be incomplete.
Last but not least, we would like to thank our friends, parents and group
members for their belief and patience in our endeavor.

Over Current Protection

Chapter 1 : INTRODUCTION

Overcurrent protection is critical to personal safety and protection from a number of hazardous
conditions that can result from materials igniting due to improper overload protection or short-
circuit protection. Additionally, the OCPD guards against explosive ignition and flash hazards
from inadequate voltage-rated or improper interrupting-rated overcurrent protective devices.
Overcurrent protective devices, or OCPDs, are typically used in main service disconnects, and in
the feeders and branch circuits of electrical systems for residential, commercial, institutional, and
industrial premises
Overcurrent protection devices are meant to protect against the potentially
dangerous effects of over currents, such as an overload current or a short-circuit current, which
creates a fault current. Equipment damage, personal injury, and even death can result from the
improper application of a device's voltage rating, current rating, or interrupting rating. Something
as simple as a circuit breaker can protect against this damage, but if a fuse or circuit breaker
doesn't have an adequate voltage rating, it can rupture or explode while attempting to stop fault
currents beyond their interrupting ratings. Grounding helps to protect against inadequate
overcurrent protection or OCPD failure. The two processes are designed to work together to
protect equipment, property, and people
The overcurrent protection scheme is used to protect the distribution lines
of electric grids integrated with DER. This protection scheme is further classified into two
categories, the phase overcurrent protection and the ground overcurrent protection. The relays
used in such schemes could be directional (operating for in-front events) and nondirectional (will
operate for all) depending upon the mode of distribution. The nondirectional relays are mostly
used for radial distribution systems.
