The IED must not trip for any of the two through fault currents. Hence the minimum
theoretical current setting (Imin) will be:

Im in MAX(I , I )

A safety margin of 5% for the maximum protection static inaccuracy and a safety
margin of 5% for the maximum possible transient overreach have to be introduced. An
additional 20% is suggested due to the inaccuracy of the instrument transformers
under transient conditions and inaccuracy in the system data. The minimum primary
setting (Is) for SPTPIOC is then:
³ ×
I 1.3 Im in

The protection function can be used for the specific application only if this setting
value is equal to or less than the maximum fault current that the IED has to clear, fault
current (I ) in figure 44.
