In IDMT RELAY the term minimum (M) indicates what?

Answer Posted / siddharth

minimum in IDMT refers to the minimum time.IDMT is relay
which has a characteristic of detecting a fault..ib which
the operating time has an inverse relationship with
magnitude of fault current.and the relay is such designed
that within a given time it has to trip the CB.thats whhy it
is called inverse definite medium time relay.

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<
