(c) As a new protection engineer, your as asked to configure the IDMT relay setting for the
network and fault location as shown in Figure Q2(c). The relay information an setting
is given in Table Q2(c)(i). Table Q2(c)(ii) shows the time-characteristics data for all
the relays. The fault current value that youre investigating is for 1.5kA and the time
grading setting for relay coordination is 600ms. Calculate the actual operating time of all the relays. Table Q2(c)(i)
