Imax is the maximum load current
The load current up to the present situation can be found from operation statistics. The
current setting must remain valid for several years. In most cases, the setting values are
updated once every five years or less often. Investigate the maximum load current that
the equipment on the line can withstand. Study components, such as line conductors,
current transformers, circuit breakers, and disconnectors. The manufacturer of the
equipment normally gives the maximum thermal load current of the equipment.
The maximum load current on the line has to be estimated. There is also a demand that
all faults within the zone that the protection shall cover must be detected by the phase
overcurrent protection. The minimum fault current Iscmin to be detected by the
protection must be calculated. Taking this value as a base, the highest pickup current
setting can be written according to Equation

The high current function of the overcurrent protection, which only has a short-delay
trip time, must be given a current setting so that the protection is selective to other
protection functions in the power system. It is desirable to have rapid tripping of faults
within a large part of the power system to be protected by the protection (primary
