Question Paper

1. Define and explain the following terms as applied in protective relaying:

Pick-up value

Current setting

Plug setting multiplier

Time setting multiplier

2. Describe the construction and principle of operation of an induction type directional over-current relay.

3. Explain the principle of operation of an impedance relay with the help of its characteristic. Also draw a typical reactance relay characteristics.

4. Draw a schematic diagram of a phase comparison that carries current protection and explain the function of each block/apparatus shown in the schematic diagram.

5. An 11 kV, 100 MVA alternator is grounded through a resistance of 5 Q. The C.T. have a ratio of 1000/5. The relay is set to operate when there is an out of balance current of 1 A. What percentage of the generator winding will be protected by percentage differential scheme of protection
