How to determine the sensitivity of relay protection
Dependability can be improved by increasing the sensitivity of the relaying system. The protective system must have ability to detect the smallest possible fault current. Based on simple examples of the generator-transformer unit protection from symmetrical short circuits, it was shown that the sensitivity factor is not a sufficiently objective measure of sensitivity of the. At this setting,this is as far as we can reach down the line before the fault becomes undetectable. There are many ways of testing these relays and all these techniques tend to test various aspects of the relays.
