(7) For a failure of Breaker L to open, the 51 relays on transformer T2 will operate as well as the
generator relays to clear fault 2. For a failure of the T1 differential relays (87T), the T2 51 relays
should coordinate with the 67 relays so T2 and the generators will remain in service.
Checking Coordination with Relay 67 for Fault 3
(1) 67 multiples at transient level with T2 in service:

(2) 67 time at 2.4 multiples: 0.26 s.
(3) 51/27 transient level voltage (reactor and transformer T1 drop): 8%.
(4) 51/27 multiples at transient level:
4 . 7

713 =
(5) 51/27 transient level time at 7.4 multiples and TIME DIAL setting of 22: 0.72 s.
(6) 51/27 relays coordinate with 67 relays for a high-side fault at the transient level. However, it
appears that the current may drop below the 67 relay pickup (300 amperes) before this relay can
operate. Should the 67 relays fail to operate, the 51/27 relays will trip the generators. Figure 38
plots these two relay characteristics. If the generator is fully loaded at 194 amperes with a 0.85 PF,
the superposition of this current and the fault current at
−90° yields a total current of 831 amperes
at the transient level and 282 amperes at the steady-state level with no regulator boosting. The
relays are selective down to about 350 amperes.
(7) Assuming that the 67 relays will not operate for fault 3, the generators will be unnecessarily tripped
if the line relaying fails to operate or if breaker R fails to interrupt the fault. Redundant line relaying
will minimize the need for generator tripping. Use of a breaker-failure timer set to about 0.25
seconds would avoid generator tripping for a failure of breaker R to interrupt.
