Procedure: I-Pre-test:
1. Ensure proper earth connection to the relay
2. Selection of current range (it is fixed)
3. Setting of the fault current level (IS) has three ranges, 10 10 40%, 20 10 80% and 50
10 200%. This can be set by shorting 31 using a jumper.
4. Selection of trip time characteristics.
Remove the control card carefully taking handling precausions (control card contains electronics
components sensitive to static electrical charge hence should be handled very carefully taking
precautions such as ensuring that human body is at ‘GROUND’ potential before removing the
control card from relay, packing the card using ‘ANTI STATIC’ material not touching any
components on the card. Handle the control card by holding the front panel. This will reduce the
changes of electronic components getting damaged using
(1) As per the table set, the DIP switch on the control card to give required characteristics.
(2) Setting the fault current level IS.
Fault current IS is expressed as percentage of rating in (=5A). This setting is done using first block
of 4 DIP switches from top on the front panel.
IS = [0.1 R + R n] In
Setting high set level (hs) [to give instantaneous trip when fault current level is very high]. High
set level is set using the middle block of four DIP switches on the front panel. His = [2+ b]I S.
Time multiplier setting (TSM)
The time multiplier factor can be set from 0.1 to 0.16 in steps of 0.1 using the last block of four
DIP switches. Trip time T=k [0.1+ t]
Test Procedure:
1. After pretest observations are settings, make the connectins as per the circuit diagram.
2. Close the supply switch.
3. With rotory switch under test mode, test the time interval meter for its working condition.
 4. Regulate current with current regulator and relay starts functioning, trips with some delay
and switch off the circuit breaker. Keep the regulator in the same position with rotory
switch in sol mode.
5. Select the rotory switch to test mode, switch ‘ON’ the circuit breaker and timer push button.
Simultaneously, read the current and time value.
6. Repeat the above 2 steps for different current value and tabulate the readings.

Theory: The IDMT relay is a non-directional heavily damped induction disc relay which has an
adjustable very inverse time/current characteristics. The relay has a high torque movement
combined with low burden and low overshoot. The relay disc is so shaped that as it rotates, the
driving torque increases and offsets the changing restraining torque of the control spring. This
facilities combined with high torque of the relay ensures goal contact pressure even at currents
near pickup. Damping of the disc movement is by a removalbe high retentivity permanent magnet
selection of the required current setting by means of a plug setting bridge which has a single
insulated plug. The relay operating time can be adjusted by movement of the disc has to step which
is controlled by rotating a moulded disc at the base of the graduated time multiplied scale.
