2. An 11 kV motor is fed by cables from a transformer via switchgear,
having a phase impedance of 0.3 + j0.3 ohm. The earth return path to
the transformer neutral has a resistance of 0.42 ohm. Determine a
suitable value of neutral resistance if the voltage rise at the motor in the
event of an earth fault at the motor is not to exceed 430 V. Neglect
transformer winding resistance.
3. Using TABLE 1, determine the resistance of a conductor and the volt
drop per ampere metre at 70°C for a 95 mm2 pvc/swa/pvc copper cable.
The temperature coefficient of resistance is 0.004 per °C.

4. A load, 100 m from a 415 V Supply Authority point is connected by a
35 mm2 pvc/swa/pvc copper cable. The current rating is 119 A and the
volt drop per ampere metre is 1.1 mV. If the load current is 90 A,
determine whether the volt drop at the load is within the 17th Edition of
the IEE Wiring Regulations 5% limit. Using TABLE 1, calculate the
earth loop impedance, minimum fault current (neglect the supply/earth
impedance) and select an appropriate fuse for the circuit with reference to
B.S. 88 part 2 from Figure 3 Below.

1. (a) State two disadvantages of Time Graded Protection Systems.
(b) State two advantages and a disadvantage of Differential Protection
Systems.
(c) What is the preferred secondary current rating of a CT for a
Differential Protection System? Why is this rating preferred?
(d) State the minimum time grading interval between two relays and give
reasons for this interval.
(e) Complete the following:
1. Desired relay operating time = TMS × ....................
2. Saturation can be a feature of CTs and ....................
(f) State the two rules of successful time grading of relays.55
5 Calculate the primary setting current and TMS for an inverse-time overcurrent relay in a system where the maximum load is 400 A,
the maximum fault current is 7000 A and CT ratio is 600/1, if the relay
has to operate in 0.7 s.
Assume settings are 50% to 200% in 25% steps. (110% of max. load has
to be catered for.)
Use the BS curve of an inverse - time overcurrent relay, FIGURE 1 for
reference.

6. For the radial power system shown in FIGURE 2, the outgoing circuit at C is fused and will operate in 0.1 s for the fault level at C. The fault level
at B is 6000 A. If the required discrimination time between the relay at B
and the fuse at C is 0.3 s, calculate a suitable TMS setting for the relay at
B.
Assume CT settings are from 50% to 200% in 25% steps. 110% of
maximum load is to be catered for.

(i) CB A open and CB B closed
(ii) CB A closed and CB B open
(all other CBs closed)
(a) To a base of 10 MVA determine initially the fault levels at the 11 kV
and 3.3 kV busbars for a fault at the transformer, T1, output as
shown.
(b) Determine the current settings and TMSs for the relays shown if the
operating time of the directional overcurrent relays on the 3.3 kV side
of the transformers is 0.5 s. (Use a 0.4 s discrimination interval.)
State with which of the CB configurations the directional overcurrent
relays (if any) will not operate.
