Abstract

This paper has investigated the application of the definite time over-current (DTOC) which reacts to protect the breaker from damage during the occurrence of over-current in the transmission lines. After a distance relay, this kind of over-current relay is utilized as backup protection. The overcurrent relay will provide a signal after a predetermined amount of time delay, and the breaker will trip if the distance relay does not detect a line failure. As a result, this over-current relay functions with a time delay that is just slightly longer than the combined working times of the distance relay and the breaker. This DTOC is tested for various types of faults which are 3- phase fault occurring at load 1, 3-phase fault occurring at load 2, a 3-phase fault occurring before primary protection, and the behaviour of voltage and current with a failed primary protection. All the results will be obtained using the MATLAB/Simulink software package.
