Coordination of relay protection settings between upper and lower levels
Relay coordination refers to setting protective devices so that the relay closest to the fault operates first, while upstream relays act as backups. Coordinating overcurrent relays across multiple protection zones is one of the most consequential tasks in power system design — get it wrong and a single downstream fault trips an entire substation. Use this Protection Relay Setting Calculator to calculate pickup current, time multiplier settings. In the protection context, it implies how the various protection devices in an electrical distribution network, work as a team, to achieve the common objective of power supply continuity, even in the most adverse conditions of fault in the network, by isolating only the faulty portion of the.
