In practice, all CT at distribution level are "XX/5". Only at EHV, CT are "xx/1"
For example, if CT is 300/5, setting the PS to 150% will imply the relay will operate if line current is greater than
How long the relay operate depend on the TMS used.
In practice, relays must be set to give discrimination at the maximum fault level a time difference of 0.4 second.

There are Four standard IDMT Curves define in BS 142.1966 and IEC 60255-3 and can be expressed as follow
