Relay Settings Calculations

This technical report refers to the electrical protection of all 132kV switchgear. These settings may be re-evaluated during the commissioning, according to actual and measured values. Protection selectivity is partly considered in this report and could be also re-evaluated. The names of parameters in this calculation may differ from those in the appropriate device.
