Practical Rules to Adjust the Numerical Overcurrent Functions of Protective Relays to Avoid Maloperation due to Inrush Currents of Downstream Distribution Transformers

This article shows practical rules which were developed for the adjustment of Numerical Overcurrent Functions (NOCF) of microprocessor-based protective relays in order to avoid their maloperation due to Transformer Magnetizing Inrush Currents (TMIC). The TMIC waveforms are decaying and nonsinusoidal...
