Most overload relay settings are based on a percentage of the FLA, typically 115% for standard motors and 125% for motors with a higher service factor. Formula Example: Overload Relay Setting = FLA × Service Factor This calculation is the foundation of sizing overload relays for. Use this Protection Relay Setting Calculator to calculate pickup current, time multiplier settings (TMS), operating time, coordination time interval (CTI), and plug setting multiplier (PSM) using fault current, CT ratio, and IEC 60255 curve parameters. IEC 60255 defines standards, formulas, and performance requirements, enabling accurate calculations and real-world applications. How is the overload relay current calculated? Why include. Calculate the multiple of Pick Up value for the Isc corresponding to the instantaneous setting. Time-graded protection is implemented using overcurrent relays with either definite time.
