Evaluate relay coordination for the minimum fault currents in Example 10.4. For the selected current tap settings and time dial settings,

(a) determine the operating time of relays at B2 and B3 for the 700-A fault current.

(b) Determine the operating time of relays at B1 and B2 for the \(1500-\mathrm{A}\) fault current. Are the fault-to-pickup current ratios \(\geqslant 2.0\) (a requirement for reliable relay operation) in all cases? Are the coordination time intervals \(\geqslant 0.3\) seconds in all cases?

Example 10.4

Data for the \(60-\mathrm{Hz}\) radial system of Figure 10.16 are given in Tables 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5. Select current tap settings (TSs) and time-dial settings (TDSs)
