3. A high voltage line is protected by
Directional Overcurrent relays. Phase relays
have 90° connection where the maximum
torque leads the polarizing
voltage by 30° (see Figure 3.7 (a) and table 3.1,
connections in your text and pages 26-28 of
lecture no tes section 2). Focusing on Phase
'A' relay only; the tripping threshold is set at
1.5 p.u. (in the tripping direction). A leading current $I_a = 2.0 \text{ p.u.} < 45^\circ$ (with respect to
$V_{an}$) is flowing out of the circuit breaker (CB) as shown. Will the phase 'A' relay trip for
this current?
Hint:
Draw a phasor diagram showing $I_a$, the polarizing voltage, and the maximum/zero torque
lines. (show you work for full credit)
