is 8Ω and 0.025 μF, respectively. A resistance of 600 Ω is connected across the contacts
of the circuit breaker. Determine the following;

advantages of using these relays in overcurrent protection?

2. Explain the terms Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) and Time Multiplier Setting (TMS) in
relays. Provide numerical examples to illustrate their calculation.

secondary current of 580 A. The relay is set with a percentage differential setting of
10%. Calculate the differential current and determine if the relay will operate for this
condition.

4. Explain the universal torque equation and its significance in the operation of distance
relays.

Ω. A fault occurs at 75% of the line length. If the relay is set to operate for faults up to
80% of the line length, calculate the reactance at which the relay will operate and
determine whether it will trip for this fault.
