define IDMT relay?

Answer / swati saxena
The term is generally used to describe relay (electrical switchgear) characteristics. IDMT relays have such tripping characteristics that, for a particular range of low values of current the tripping time varies inversely with the value of current. But beyond a certain current limit the tripping time becomes constant(definite) and causes tripping in minimum time. Hence the name Inverse/Definite Minimum Time. This type of characteristic is found in Over current Relays.

Answer / pinaki chatterjee
TO PROTECT THE SYSTEM THE TRIPPING ARRANGEMENT IS SUCH IN
THIS CASES THAT WHEN THE FAULT CURRENT WILL INCREASE THEN
THE TIME TAKEN WILL BE IN REVERSE MANNER , MEANS MUCH LESS
THAN BEFORE THAT WILL TAKEN THE TIME, IN SENCE THE NAME
IS INVERSE DEFINITE MINIMUM TIME RELAY.

Answer / najmul
it is inverse define time relay. its working to fault
measurement inversely.fault current increase to operating
time decrease.

Is there any Flood lighting system which produces more light (More power consumption 1000W,400W etc.,), white light and restart immediately after power restoration ?
what are the protection equipments used betbeen HT line and transformer in a power plant
While connecting the flood light plug on to the 415 V distribution panel,there was spark and the cable got burnt. Three ignitors of the flood light also burnt of. The lamps are of 400 W (total 6 lamps) connected through 1.5 mm2 cable. The plug was immediately removed from the circuit. There was a 30 mA RCD connected and a 250 A MCCB; however both did not trip. What could be the possible reasons for the circuit devices not to trip?Can someone assist please. Additional info if needed can be provided.
