How to setting Relay Coordination
1. Standard and Code
- NEC Article 430-32 (Continuos - Duty Motors)
- NEC Article 430-126 (Rating of Motor Control Apparatus)
- IEEE Std 141-1976, IEEE Recommended Practice for Electrical Power Distribution for Industrial Plants
- IEEE Std 242-1986, IEEE Recommended Practice for Protection and Coordination of Industrial and Commercial Power System
- IEEE C37.101-1993, IEEE Guide for AC Generator Ground Protection
- IEEE C37.102-1987, IEEE Guide for AC Generator Protection
2. Principles of Protective Relay Application
Fault protection relaying can be classified into two groups, primary relaying which should function first in removing faulted equipment from the system, and backup relaying which functions only when primary relaying fails. For complete explanation, see IEEE Std 141-1976 (IEEE Recommended Practice for Electric Power Distribution for Industrial Plants).
3. Methodology / Calculation Criteria
The study is based on the data
and parameter as defined below:
- The study is performed by Power Plot version 2.5. The Power Plot v.2.5 has provided some fixtures which used as parameter in this project as follow:
- Transformer thermal damage and inrush currentcurve
- Cable thermal damage curve
- Motor Starting Curve
- MCP & MCCB curve
- User curve
- Available 3 phase short circuit current at all relevant buses

This feature is active only
when generator is OFFLINE and uses the neutral measurements end CT. It is set
more sensitive than differential relay to detect high impedance phase faults.
Since the breaker auxiliary
contacts wired to the 489 Breaker Status Input may not operate at exactly the
same time as the main breaker contact, the time delay should be coordinate with
the difference of the operation times.

Overvoltage
·      
Consideration/formula
Generator overvoltage may
occur without necessarily exceeding the volts/Hz limits of the machine. In
general, this not problem with steam and gas turbine generators because of the
rapid response of the speed-control system and voltage regulator.
The instantaneous unit is
generally set to pickup at about 130% - 150% of nominal voltage (see IEE
C17.102-1987).

Reverse Power Trip
·      
Consideration/formula
According to ANSI Std
C37-102-1987, the gas turbine prime mover usually have capability maximum
motoring power up to 50% of rating and a diesel engine with no cylinder firing
represented a load of up to 25% of rating, so the sensitivity is not critical.
In this project, there are
two types of generator, gas turbine generator and diesel engine generator. The
sensitivity of reverse power relay is not critical problem due to large power
required to motor.

§ 
Consideration
Soft starter is equipped with
MCP to against locked rotor and short circuit. Due to operation of soft starter
only for starting motor and after that it will be bypassed when steady state
(normal running) is achieved. Therefore, it need to added other MCP on the
upstream to protect running motor. 
The MCP(motor) trip setting is
set 600% FLA by manufacturer and can not/forbidden be change. To prevent
overlap protection, the MCP is set more than 600% FLA.
