Basic protection relay knowledge
The further down the line we go, the lower the fault current will be due to the fault resistance. So, in this case, to protect the whole line, the setting has to be able to detect fault current above 150 A.

Lesser the VA of the input, greater will be the sensitivity and vice versa. The sensitivity should be sufficient to ensure reliable protec-tion during s c at the end of its specified zone under. Long term cost reduction (TCO) for trainings and maintenance by reduce variety of relays A fast and selective arc fault mitigation for air-insulated LV & MV switchgear and Relion protection and control relays and sensor. The relay protection sensitivity is one of the determined factors in the power system, however, it is often overlooked in current distribution network (DN) planning. Protective relays and devices have been developed over 100 years ago to provide "lastline"of defense for the electrical systems.
