The document describes an experiment conducted on an electromagnetic overcurrent (O/C) relay. The objectives were to obtain the operating characteristic of the relay. The relay current setting was set at 0.75A and time multiplier setting at 1S. A three phase fault was demonstrated. Readings for fault current and operating time were recorded in a table. The operating characteristic was plotted on log-scale paper with time on the y-axis and current on the x-axis. The conclusion discussed that inverse-time overcurrent relays have adjustable pick-up current and time delay settings, and operate faster for higher fault currents.

:CONCIUSION
Time Overcurrent Relays  Operate with a time delay.  Time delay is adjustable.  Pick up
.current is also adjustable

Inverses-Time: This type of relay have an operating time depending on the value of the
. current, generally with an inverse characteristic,(increasing time decreasing current

The operation time of the relay is smaller as the current gets larger (small value of time
.compared with current value)

.Also have two settings: 1- pick-up current and 2- curve level

Time-over-current relays have two basic settings: 1- Pickup current and 2- Time delay
.settings

Operating time of the relay is inversely proportional to the fault current, i.e., higher the fault
current quicker the relay operation (generally there is a fixed minimum time) and lesser the
.fault current the operating time of the relay is more

The principal application of time-delay overcurrent (TDOC) relays is on a radial system where
they provide both phase and ground protection. A basic complement of relays would be two
phase and one ground relay. This arrangement will protect the line for all combinations of
phase and ground faults using the minimum number of relays. Adding a third phase relay,
however, provides complete backup protection, that is, two relays for every type of fault,
and is the preferred practice. TDOC relays are usually used in industrial systems and on
subtransmission lines that cannot justify more expensive protection such as distance or pilot
relays

There are two settings that must be applied to all TDOC relays: the pickup and the time
delay. The pickup setting is selected so that the relay will operate for all short circuits in the
line section for which it is to provide protection. This will require margins above the
maximum load current, usually twice the expected value, and below the minimum fault
current, usually 1/3 the calculated phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground fault current. If
possible, this setting should also provide backup for an adjacent line section or adjoining
equipment. The time-delay function is an independent parameter that is obtained in a
variety of ways, either the setting of an induction disk lever or an external timer. The
purpose of the time delay is to enable relays to coordinate with each other.. The ordinate is
time in milliseconds or seconds depending on the relay type; the abscissa is in multiples of
pickup to normalize the curve for all fault current values
