Question: ( c ) A radial distribution system with source at one side of the feeders, each with maximum load based on MVA rating is shown

(c) A radial distribution system with source at one side of the feeders, each with maximum load based on MVA rating is shown in Figure Q.1(c). Impedance of the transformer is referred to its own rating and impodance of each transmission line is 1.2 pu with base of 100MVA,13.2kV. Assume that all impedances are pure reactance. The RSI of each relay is also indicated in the figure.
(i) Prove that for a 3-phase fault at Bus 1, Bus 2 and Bus 3, the fault currents are 1367 A,2187 A and 1673 A, respectively.

(ii) Based on the fault currents given in Q.1(c)(i), propose the Time Setting Multiplier (TSM) of all relays to achieve a well-coordinated system. The TSMs of relay R1 and R4 are all set to 0.1. The discrimination time (DT) is 0.4 seconds. The relay characteristic operating time (RCOT) is given by:
RCOT=0.14PSM0.02-1
and the TSM ranges from 0.05 to 1.
