An overcurrent relay is a type of protective relay which operates when the load current exceeds a pickup value. It is of two types: instantaneous over current (IOC) relay and definite time overcurrent (DTOC) relay.

Industrial facilities are phasing out discontinued relays to comply with global energy efficiency mandates. Electromechanical relays typically consume **2-5 watts** during operation, while SSRs reduce idle power consumption by **90%**, aligning with ISO 50001. These design changes brought about the need for more sophisticated electrical distribution protection, which coincided with the early generations of electronic protective relays, including the widely employed GE Multilin and ABB circuit shield relays. Modern digital relays offer significant advantages over electromechanical, solid state (static) and even first generation protection relays. Unlike electromechanical relays, SSRs eliminate moving parts, reducing mechanical wear and enabling lifespans exceeding **100 million cycles** compared to **1 million cycles** for traditional relays. Companies like Omron and Siemens have introduced SSRs with integrated diagnostics, enabling. Protection relays are designed to trip circuit breakers in response to network faults or abnormal network conditions to prevent or minimise damage to plant and equipment, and play a significant role in protecting staff and the public during these events. Engineers could now perform regular testing of relay protection devices, using relay test set equipment to check.

= Fault current in relay coil / Pick – up current =Fault current in relay coil /Rated secondary current of Current setting. PSM and TMS settings that are Plug Setting Multiplier and Time Multiplier Setting are the settings of a relay used to specify its tripping limits. Overload relays protect motors and equipment from thermal damage caused by prolonged overcurrent conditions. An Overcurrent Relay Setting Calculator is a online calculator tool that determines the proper relay settings to safeguard electrical circuits against excessive current flow. curve Current setting Time setting Fault current Current transformer ratio The procedure for calculating the actual relay operating time is as follows : Convert the fault current into the relay.
