How to configure relay protection time limit
The time delay of zone 2 and zone 3 elements should be set to coordinate with time-step protection at both the remote and local buses. This allows time for the remote zone 1 element to pick up, plus breaker operating time. Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) indicates how many times the determined relay secondary current (typically the CT secondary) exceeds the relay pickup (plug) current. It is the key quantity utilized in IDMT. Use this Protection Relay Setting Calculator to calculate pickup current, time multiplier settings (TMS), operating time, coordination time interval (CTI), and plug setting multiplier (PSM) using fault current, CT ratio, and IEC 60255 curve parameters. These calculations are critical in industrial.

Relay protection is difficult to understand
Relay protection is often misunderstood as a collection of individual relays scattered through a system. In practice, it is a design discipline that governs how faults are detected, isolated, and cleared under real operating conditions. They mostly play the role to prevent the circuits from overcurrent. Many important issues, such as coordination of settings, operating times, characteristics of. Selectivity is a mandatory requirement for all protection, but the importance of it depends on the application. For example, unselective protection operation during a medium voltage network fault will cause an outage for an unnecessarily large number of consumers.
