A B. Stra 11kV. D. ie L sca. KAP Figure 1. 11kV Distribution System. The system is described by the following information:- Zap (pps)= 1.2ehms CT, = 500/5 Zac (pps) = 0.8 ohms CTs = 500/5 Zep (pps)= L.lohms CT¢ = 100/5 = The short circuit capacity of the incoming feeder can vary from 100 MVA to 200 MVA. = The maximum load current in feeder AB is 300 A and in feeder BC is 150 A. ~The IDMT relay C has settings of Time Multiplier Setting (TMS) = 0.1 and Plug Scale Multiplier (PSM) = 1.5. = The IDMT relays characteristic is defined by:- = a secs where:- Iris the relay input current in amps. Inis the relay’s nominal current (5 A for relays A, B and C). kis the TMS. pis the PSM. ~ The TMS settings are from 0.1 to 1.0 in steps of 0.1. - The PSM settings are 0.5, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75 and 2.00. - Anacceptable grading margin is 0.4 seconds.

[6 marks] (>) Explain why the curve described in (a) is inherently limited in predicting the actual fault clearance times of a fuse protecting a [ 6 marks] power system circuit. (©) Suggest the most appropriate ratings for the fuses A, B,C, D, E, F, G and H used to protect the 11 KV/415 V system shown in Figure 2. The available fuses have the following ratings: 41SV fuses:- 31.5A, 63A, 160A, 315A and 630 A. low voltage fuses:- 0.5A, 1A, 2A, 3A, 5A and 10 A. anv av A CT Ratio [-=- > seams. ‘006A.
