IncorrectFor the three-bus power system shown in the figure, the trip signals to the circuit breakers to are provided by overcurrent relays to , respectively, some of which have directional properties also. The necessary condition for the system to be protected for short circuit fault at any part of the system between bus 1 and the - loads with isolation of minimum portion of the network using minimum number of directional relays is

Sign in to UnlockThe over current relays for the line protection and loads connected at the buses are shown in the figure.
The relays are IDMT in nature having the characteristic
The maximum and minimum fault current at bus B are 2000A and 500A respectively. Assuming the time multiplier setting and plug setting for relay to be 0.1 and 5A respectively, the operating time of (in seconds) is _______________.

Sign in to UnlockConsider the protection system shown in the figure below. The circuit breakers, numbered from 1 to 7 are of identical type. A single line 10 ground fault with zero fault impedance occurs at the midpoint of the line (at point F), but circuit breaker 4 fails to operate ("stuck breaker"). If the relays are coordinated correctly, a valid sequence of circuit breaker operations is
