Abstract

See full text

A method for determining an optimized TCC operating curve for an electronic interrupting device that protects a distribution transformer in a power distribution network, where the TCC operating curve is some optimized predetermined percentage above a TCC curve for normal transformer operation. The method includes providing a TCC transformer curve that identifies an allowed transformer operation current once the transformer magnetics have been stabilized and the transformer is operating normally, and determining a TCC operating curve that is defined by points along the transformer curve plus a predetermined percentage above the transformer curve, where the operating curve identifies a response time for when the electronic interrupting device will open in response to a certain current flow.
