Relay Coordination

The relay co-ordination is nothing but a tripping of protecting relay in a sequence or order in electrical power system. Relay coordination is very difficult task for relay engineers. Relay co-ordination is required to isolate the faulty part with minimized relay & circuit breaker operation.

Process to Test:

Relay settings are done in such a way that proper co-ordination is achieved along various series network. However, the review of Co-ordination is always essential since various additions / deletion of feeders and equipments will occur after the initial commissioning of plants. As power can be received from generators of captive power plant, the analysis becomes complex.

Relay co-ordination can be done by selecting proper plug setting and time multiplication setting of the relay, considering maximum fault current at the relay location. After selecting the plug setting and time multiplier setting, the co-ordination can be checked graphically.

Importance

Relay co-ordination plays an important role in the protection of power system. For proper protection, proper co-ordination of relays with appropriate relay settings is to be done.
