“I-Setting” must be chosen high enough to prevent false tripping
or alarms from taking place and low enough to reliably detect the
minimum fault current. The setting must be sufficiently above the
maximum transient load current and allow for:
· c.t. and relay inaccuracies
· the reset ratio.
The maximum transient load current has to be determined ac-
cording to the power system operating conditions and take ac-
count of switching operations and load surges.
