Use this Protection Relay Setting Calculator to calculate pickup current, time multiplier settings (TMS), operating time, coordination time interval (CTI), and plug setting multiplier (PSM) using fault current, CT ratio, and IEC 60255 curve parameters. These calculations are critical in industrial. This technical report refers to the electrical protections of all 132kV switchgear. At the beginn ng of the article it is drawn up process to protect power lines. Consequently, it is shown the method of calculation for a particular power line a d performed the calculation for setting the distance protection. In. Plug Setting Multiplier (PSM) indicates how many times the determined relay secondary current (typically the CT secondary) exceeds the relay pickup (plug) current. In HV (High Voltage) and MV (Medium Voltage) substations, relay protection safeguards critical assets such as transformers, circuit breakers, and lines.
