The disadvantage of this method is that in case of occurrence of fault
near the source (point A for example) a large current will be produced
and is very destructive if not remove quickly. This means that the
heaviest faults are cleared slowly.
The fault current can be calculated as:

Example 1
For the 13.8 kV feeding system shown in Fig.1, determine satisfactory relay settings .
Pertinent system data is provided in Table1.Assume three relays per breaker, one for each
phase ,Fig.2. Consider only 3-phase faults with short circuit MVA = 10. Use the overcurrent
relay whose characteristic is given in Fig.3.

For relay at B:
This relay should respond to fault at C (backup) and respond to fault near B:
Fault at C
For discrimination between & , let the time margin = 0.5 sec
Hence
