Figure 38. Relay 51/27 Coordination with Relay 67 for Fault 3 Example
Neutral Element Backup Settings
(1) The 51N element has no relays to coordinate with because the generators are ungrounded. An
instantaneous element, if used, must be set above the maximum false residual current that can be
developed due to dissimilar current transformer saturation during an external three-phase fault.
Similarly, the time setting of the time overcurrent element must ride through this transient resulting
from current transformer saturation.
(2) Ground current contribution from each transformer is 485 amperes. Normal total current level is:

(3) Set the time element for 0.8-ampere pickup.
(4) Set the time element (51N) at 0.2 s for 970 amperes primary (see B3 curve):
