An overcurrent relay is used to protect a feeder, with a CT ration of 300/5 A. The minimum fault current in the feeder, at the CT location, is estimated to be: If,min = 950 A We want the relay to trip any current more than 70% of the minimum fault current. The relay current setting can be in the range from 80% to 400% of the rated current in 25% steps.
