Question: A 2 0 MVA transformer, which may be called upon to operate at 2 5 % overload, feeds 1 1 - kV busbars through a

A 20 MVA transformer, which may be called upon to operate at 25% overload, feeds 11-kV busbars through a circuit breaker. The busbar is connected to a single outgoing feeder. The transformer circuit breaker is equipped with 1000/5 A CTs and the feeder circuit breakers with 500/5 A CTs. Both transformer and feeder are protected by IDMT relay type. The relay at the feeder circuit breaker has a 125% plug setting and a 0.4 time dial setting. If a three-phase fault current of 7500 A flows from the transformer to the feeder, find the: i. Operating time of the feeder relay. ii. The minimum plug setting of the transformer relay. The plug setting of the relay ranging from 50% to 200%, in steps of 25%. iii. The transformer relay time dial setting by assuming a discriminative time margin of 0.5 second.
