Minimum Current for High Impedance Protection Calculator.

Evaluates the minimum pickup current required to cause high-impedance bus protection element pickup.

Parameters:
N : int

Number of Current Transformers included in scheme

Ie : float

The excitation current at the voltage setting

Irly : float, optional

The relay current at voltage setting

Vset : float, optional

The relay’s voltage pickup setting in volts.

Rrly : float, optional

The relay’s internal resistance in ohms, default=2000

Imov : float, optional

The overvoltage protection current at the voltage setting. default=0.0

CTR : float, optional

Current Transformer Ratio, default=1

Returns:

Imin – Minimum current required to cause high-impedance bus protection element pickup.

Return type:

float
