Example for time coordination
Assume two substations A and B directly connected to each other via one line, as
shown in the Figure
. Consider a fault located at another line from the station B.
The fault current to the overcurrent protection of IED B1 has a magnitude so that
the overcurrent protection will start and subsequently trip, and the overcurrent
protection of IED A1 must have a delayed operation in order to avoid
maloperation. The sequence of events during the fault can be described using a
time axis shown in Figure
.

Figure 54:
Sequence of events during fault
where:
t=0
is when the fault occurs
t=t
1
is when protection IED B1 and protection IED A1 start
t=t
2
is when the trip signal from the overcurrent protection at IED B1 is sent to the circuit breaker.
t=t
3
is when the circuit breaker at IED B1 opens. The circuit breaker opening time is t
3
- t
2
t=t
4
is when the overcurrent protection at IED A1 resets. The protection resetting time is t
4
- t
3
.
To ensure that the overcurrent protection at IED A1 is selective to the overcurrent
protection at IED B1, the minimum time difference must be larger than the time t
3
.
There are uncertainties in the values of protection operation time, breaker opening
time and protection resetting time. Therefore a safety margin has to be included.
With normal values the needed time difference can be calculated according to
Equation
