What does the term inverse time mean pertaining to overcurrent protection?
Inverse time is a setting which determines how much quicker the breaker trips relating to the level of over current. Similar to a logarithmic curve. It usually relates to Electronically controlled breakers.
What is the difference between overload and overcurrent?
Overcurrent protection is protection against excessive currents or current beyond the acceptable current rating of equipment. It generally operates instantly. Short circuit is a type of overcurrent. Overload protection is a protection against a running overcurrent that would cause overheating of the protected equipment. Hence, an overload is also type of overcurrent. Overload protection typically operates on an inverse time curve where the tripping time becomes less as the current increases.
What is the theory behind a definite time overcurrent relay?
A definite time overcurrent relay operates like an instantaneous overcurrent relay coupled with a timer. once current reaches the pickup value, the relay overcurrent relay will trip, which initiates the timing circuit. as long as current stays above this pickup value, the timer will continue to time. Once the definite time setting is reached, the timer will close the relay tripping contacts.
What is the inverse time of the thermal overload?
what is the inverse time of the theraml overload?
Can you define the term OCR in electrical terminology?
OverCurrent Recloser, or OverCurrent Relay.
What is a overcurrent device?
a device protecting conductors or other equipment in a circuit from an overload/overcurrent situation
What is idmt relay?
Inverse Definite Minimum Time Lag = IDMT relay It's a electromagnetic type rotating disk relay. Tripping time of relay decreases with increasing fault current. see http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/robert.booth/uni/docs/Power%20Supply%20Assignment%203.pdf
Why Normal time-overcurrent relays are not adequate for generator backup protection?
Setting the time-overcurrent relays high enough to prevent tripping for normal overloads may result in them not tripping at all due to the decaying characteristic of the generator fault current. Using the system voltage to control the overcurrent characteristic resolves this problem, since the voltage should drop very little for overloads, but will collapse to a small value for external faults. The 51V protection function uses the system voltage to adapt the operation of a time overcurrent element, using either voltage-restraint (51VR) or voltage-control (51VC).
