what is the use of neutral displacement relay

Answer Posted / loboreliance2003

The relay comprises an attracted armature element fed via a
rectifier and series resistor. It can be provided with
either a fixed
setting, or variable settings using a plug bridge. It has a
minimum
withstand of rated voltage continuously.
Operation of Neutral Voltage Displacement Relays
The zero sequence current that flows for an earth-fault on
an un-earthed network is determined by the capacitance of
the cable to earth. This flow of current leads to a rise in
the voltage of the neutral point of the incoming supply
(the star-point of either the generator or transformer). It
is this rise that is detected by a neutral voltage
displacement relay. If the network is quite small (i.e.
short cables), then the zero-sequence voltage will be
unstable. This is why an instantaneous relay is only
generally used to provide an alarm. In the event of a
fault, neutral voltage protection cannot detect the
location of a fault, so all sources of supply should be
disconnected.

When we use air circuit breaker, it has O/L protection ,time delay SC protection, Instataneous SC protection & ground fault protection. They all have some setting range. But what is the suitable/allowable setting for the above protection which will be safe for the equipment? For example-O/L protection setting have a range of (0.4,0.45,0.5,0.55,0.6,0.65,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0)xIn Time delay SC protection have a range of (1.25,1.5,2,3,4,6,8,10,12)xIn Time delay setting is 0.02,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 Instataneous setting is fixed to 20xIn Gound fault setting is given 100A,300A,600A,900A,1200A This setting are for 2500A ACB. So what will be the basic allowable setting for the above protection? is there any formulae to calculate this<
