“…Electromechanical or microprocessor-based relays have standard range of CTI (generally, between 0.2 and 0.5 sec depending on the type). In the literature normally fixed values are adopted, as 0.3 s, when the calculation is performed (Tjahjono et al, 2017;Elmitwally et al, 2015;Meskin et al, 2015;IEEE, 2001;Noghabi et al, 2010). An adequate CTI depends on several considerations such as: start time of elements (reaction), possible delay of the upstream relay, error margin due to Current Transformer (CT) saturation, digital relays operating time and relay contacts operating time.…”
