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 else can I help you with?
Can you define the term OCR in electrical terminology?
OverCurrent Recloser, or OverCurrent Relay.
What do relay and circuit breakers use?
No. A relay is an electric switch and a circuit breaker is an overcurrent device.
What is pick up of a relay?
The "pick up" of a relay is a setting at which the relay will begin to operate. Such as an overcurrent relay - if the pickup is set to 5A, when 5A is flowing through the relay, the relay will operate.
What is difference between reverse power relay and directional relay in electrical protection?
A reverse power relay is a directional overcurrent relay. Directional relays are relays that sense power flow in one direction, and include (directional) overcurrent relays, reverse power, and impedance based relays. So a reverse power relay is a directional relay, but a directional relay is not necessarily a reverse power relay.
Why use over current relay?
To protect things from getting damaged by overcurrent.

How does an IDMT relay work?
An IDMT (Inverse Definite Minimum Time) relay is a protective device used in electrical systems to detect overcurrent conditions. It operates on the principle that the time it takes to trip decreases as the level of overcurrent increases, following an inverse time characteristic. When the current exceeds a predetermined threshold, the relay begins timing, and the more the current exceeds this threshold, the shorter the tripping time becomes. This allows for selective tripping of circuits, helping to isolate faults while minimizing disruption to the overall system.
What is relay coordination system?
Coordination between upstream relays for a overcurrent fualt on down stream.
What is meant by residual overcurren?
Residual overcurrent protection is often provided in modern microprocessor based relays that have three phase inputs, and no neutral input. Sometimes this is provided even if a neutral input is present. It is similar to neutral overcurrent, where the neutral current is directly measured through the neutral input of the relay. for residual overcurrent, the three phase currents are vectorially summed together to form the residual overcurrent. This relay measured 3I0 current, or ground current.
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
How is the relay effecting the bimetallic strip of circuit breaker?
The relay controls the flow of current through the circuit breaker by responding to an overcurrent situation. When the relay detects an overcurrent, it triggers the circuit breaker to open, which releases the tension on the bimetallic strip inside. This causes the bimetallic strip to bend and disconnect the circuit, effectively breaking the flow of electricity to prevent damage or hazards.
What is IDMT What is the principle?
IDMT stands for Inverse Definite Minimum Time. It is a protection relay characteristic commonly used in power systems to provide protection against overcurrent conditions. The principle of IDMT is that the tripping time of the relay is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the current, such that higher overcurrents result in faster tripping times to quickly isolate the fault and prevent damage to the system.
