A credible relay setting verification effort starts with a network model that matches the protection study assumptions and the relay application details. If source impedance, line data, transformer taps, instrument transformer ratios, or breaker logic are wrong, your lab. This technical report refers to the electrical protections of all 132kV switchgear. All calculations are based on the available documentation/ information. Protection selectivity is partly. Protection relays employ a wide range of configurable parameters to identify defects & trip the breaker in a controlled & selected manner. PSM – Plug Setting Multiplier (Current Setting Multiplier) What is PSM? 2). The goal is to isolate only the faulted section — quickly enough to protect equipment, but with enough delay to let downstream relays act first.
