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.
