Main program’s menu:

- Introduction/Program overview
After the software installation, the main program file (LSPS.exe) is created, and its icon is as shown
in Fig. 1-1.

[Fig. 1-1] Icon of LSPS

By running the LSPS.exe, a window comprising of three different modules, i.e. Susol Design, Susol
T-C Curve and Susol Coordination, is appeared as shown in Fig. 1-2. User can choose any module
for execution.

[Fig. 1-2] Main window of the LSPS program

① Susol Design module: Susol Design module is the most important among the three. Users can
design LV/HV system diagram and analyze short circuit currents related to balance/imbalance/one-
phase circuit. From the analysis, LV/HV circuit breaker (CB) will be selected. By using this module
users can design a real system. The main functions of Susol Design module includes:
- Short circuit analysis (according to IEC 60909)
- Automatic selection of CBs
- LV coordination including discrimination and cascading
② Susol T-C Curve module: Users can confirm the T-C curve of equipments including CBs, fuses,
motors, transformers and relays. Users can also check protection coordination among equipments.
Users can directly insert the rated current and the short circuit current to new devices. Based on this
function, users can analyze protection coordination and compare with the existing devices. Thanks to
adjustable parameters of devices, users can observe the current deviations in time domain.

③ Susol Coordination module: Users can directly use this module to select the upstream (LV/HV)
CB without using the other two modules. Users can choose the CB from a given list of CB, thereafter
a list of proper CBs for downstream side will be appeared. Users can choose one of those CBs for
coordination between upstream and downstream. Users can confirm the T-C curve of the selected CB
in Susol Coordination domain.

[Fig. 2-1] Before System Diagram Drawing

[Fig. 2-2] After System Diagram Drawing

1) Change the Size of Components

It is necessary to change the size of some components. Components include busbar and three- and
one-phase cables.
Ø Change the size of the horizontal-busbar
In order to change the size of horizontal busbar, users select the busbar, it’s color will change
to the red as in Fig. 2-5. The squares of the both end sides are symbolized as the size
changeable points and the arrow (“┏ ┑┗ ┛”) appears when users click the point. Users can

[Fig. 2-5] Size Change

Another component such as “П” form of busbar, “T” form of busbar, one-phase cable, and three-
phase cable can be changed using the same method.
2) Move a Single Component
Users select a target component as the red color component in Fig. 2-6.

[Fig. 2-6] Component Selection

The selected component can be moved by keeping the left mouse and moving. Users can also move
the component using the movement keys on the key board.

[Fig. 2-7] Component Moving and Finishing

3) Delete a Component
Ø There are two methods to delete a component. First method, users select a component,
indicated as red color, right mouse click and choose “Delete” option. Second method, users
select a component and press “Del” button on the keyboard.

[Fig. 2-8] Delete Method

4) Copy and Paste a Component

Ø Users can use two methods to copy a component, either using “Ctrl+C” keys on the keyboard or
right mouse click at the component and choose “Copy” option.
Ø Similar to copy function, in order to paste a component, users either press “Ctrl+V” buttons on
the keyboard or choose “Paste” option.
5) Group/Move/Copy/Paste Multiple Components

selected components’ color become red as shown in Fig. 2-9.

[Fig. 2-9] Component Grouping

Ø Group Moving: In order to move a group, users can either move the mouse cursor to the target
position and click the left mouse or use the direction keys on the keyboard. Figure 2-10 shows
the group that is being moved to the target position.
 [Fig 2-10] Component Shifting
Ø Group Copy/Paste: same as Copy/Paste of the single component.
6) Connect Components
Generator, equivalent source and Motor can be directly connected to the busbar without cables. There
are three methods to connect components with each other.
- Method 1: Move the mouse cursor to the connecting point of the existing component on drawing
window, and then select the component icon.

Move the mouse to the connected point before the connection.

In the above figure, the component is created at cursor when users click the cable icon on the icon-
toolbar.
- Method 2: Once the components are created in the drawing window, users can move one component
to the other for connecting.

The above figure show how the components can be connected with each other.
- Method 3: Change the length of busbar and cable.
The following figure show how the component size can be changed.

7) Rotate a Component
All components in LSPS can be rotated. Users can rotate the direction of components using the
rotation buttons as shown in Fig. 2-11. Components can be rotated 90 degrees.

[Fig. 2-11] Component Rotation Icon

In Fig. 2-11, the right icon is for horizontal rotation and the left one is for vertical rotation of the
component. Using these functions, users can make the system like Fig. 2-12.

[Fig. 2-12] System design with the rotation function

8) Design a Single-phase System

There are two cases of a single-phase system.
Ø Case 1: In order to connect a three-phase component to a single-phase component, users use the
single-phase busbar. Before connecting a single-phase component with a three-phase component,
users need to create a single-phase busbar at the connection point.
 [Fig. 2-13] Connection of a single-phase cable with a three-phase cable

Ø Case 2: In order to connect single-phase components with each other, users can either connect
directly or use a single-phase busbar. If users want to use the single-phase busbar, first create a
three-phase busbar, and then, change the busbar’s properties to single-phase.

[Fig. 2-14] Single-phase Components Connection

After changing the busbar’s property to single-phase, a “1f” symbol will appear beside the busbar, as
depicted in following figures.

[Fig. 2-15] Change busbar’s property from three-phase to single-phase)

 [Fig. 2-16] Connection of single-phase busbar with single-phase cable.

[Fig. 2-17] Direct Connection of the Single-phase Component

The single-phase components can connect with each other directly as shown in Fig. 2-17.
3. Input / Setting for Component Data
Refer to the following system (Fig. 3-1) for inputting / setting the component data for LS Power
Solution:

[Fig. 3-1] System Example for Data Input / Set

Input the following parameters on the drawing window after comprising the system (example). Such
data may be imported from DB or subject to the manual input. Make sure, however, to manually input
data for this case of example. Power Solution automatically updates the name and main parameters of
your component on the left and right side of the window, respectively, as you finish inputting data.
1) Activating Component Data Input
Double-click the desired object or run ‘Property’ on a right-click pop-up to activate a data input
window for your component of each system.
 [Fig. 3-2] Double-click-and-activate

[Fig. 3-3] Right-click’n-choose-property

2) Setting ‘Master File’
Make sure to properly set the base capacity, base frequency, and fault resistance value of Master File
to run a scenario. User may also determine circuit breaker’s adjustability on a matter of temperature
or the applicability of MetaMEC to block one(s) used least. Default values of the base capacity and
base frequency have been set to be 100,000kVA (100MVA) and 60Hz, respectively, that may be
varied by User (Two options of 50Hz, 60Hz offered for base frequency). Fault resistance value is
subject to the User input as not defaulted, in the unit of ‘ohm’.
 [Fig. 3-4] Master File Manager.

[Fig. 3-5] Temp. Adjustment for Circuit Breaker

Reflecting T-C curve effect by different temperature levels, the circuit breaker in a scenario may be
adjusted as User desires. If necessary, choose a proper ‘Under Spec’ option to best fit the condition of
circuit breaker as temperature varies.

3) Input / Setting for Utility Bus(P1)

 [Fig. 3-6] Data Input / Setting for Utility Bus
Object name (Updated on the window as input), system voltage (Make sure not to omit as P1 is where
the system starts), 3-phase short circuit capacity, and X/R(+) (Ratio of R to Positive-phase-sequence
X Reactance) are all necessary for making P1 work. With this scheme, a positive-phase-sequence-
impedance will be regarded for fault calculating of P1 among short circuit capacity and the so called
X/R ratio.
Whenever available, User may input further information (as highlighted Orange below) including
short circuit capacities, ground current, as stated hereafter. Check the item to activate input.
Activate ‘Radio Button’ and check ‘% Impedance’, when known over short circuit capacity or X/R
ratio, to activate input (refer to Fig. 3-7). Check, as well, negative phase or 0-phase impedance when
known. Make sure to designate base capacity (kVA) and voltage (kV) for manual input of %
impedance.
 [Fig. 3-7] % Impedance Setting for Utility Bus
System automatically sends an error message when the necessary field is empty or over-represented.
Such wrong input will not be saved as long as properly adjusted.

[Fig. 3-8] Error Pop-up over Improper Input

Determination of the Utility Bus impedance has been done in accordance with IEC Standard. Contact
the relevant institute, stated herein, for any question arising.

4) Input / Setting for Generator (G1)

Object name (Updated on the window as input), system voltage (Make sure not to omit as G1
generates for the system), generator capacity (in kVA), and impedance data (positive-subtransient
reactance X(+), positive reactance X(+), X/R ratio) are all in the list of the necessary input for G1.
User may further adjust grounding method (Non-grounding, direct-grounding, resistance-grounding,
defaulted to be direct-grounding pending user adjustment) and more as follows: .
 [Fig. 3-9] Data Input / Setting for Generator
Beware the rated voltage and actual system voltage may not be square, deriving different impedance
value.

[Fig. 3-10] Different Voltage Indicating

Subtransient reactance of negative phase or neutral-phase, when known, may be subject to User’s
input. Empty value will be deemed square with that of positive phase.
 [Fig. 3-10] Subtransient Reactance of Negative Phase / 0-phase
User may choose, without any given data, among numerous different generator data offered by Power
Solution. As contained generator data represent “most general value applicable”, beware it may not
be exact as User want to put in a scenario.

[Fig. 3-11] Generator DB List

Determination of the generator impedance has been done in accordance with IEC Standard. Contact
the relevant institute, stated herein, for any question arising.
5) Generator (G1) Simulation
Power Solution offers generator and circuit breaker simulation. Run / Stop your virtual generator
triggering ‘Radio Button’ (Defaulted as ‘Run’) on top of the input pop-up. For example, deletion of
CB6 from the system may deactivate any of system branched out of the generator, as the virtual
generator is set to be ‘Stop’. This offers a chance for User to run varied scenarios with a single file.

[Fig. 3-12] Virtual Generator Operation

[Fig. 3-13] Inactive System as Generator Stops

6) Input / Setting for Transformer (T1)
Data may be imported from the transformer DB or manually input.

[Fig. 3-14] Input / Setting for Transformer

From the Fig. above, object name, system voltage (kVA) connection type, secondary voltage, and %
impedance are all comprising the necessary input for T1. Make sure to manually input secondary
voltage as primary voltage is auto-defined as the software detects. Grounding reactance and
resistance may also be set by User, by different connection types. A manual input to one of four entire
text box is to re-adjust the rest of three % impedance values so that User does not need to (This may
also be adjusted by User). Note that the rated voltage and actual system voltage do not necessarily
need to be square with each other. Above these, User may further adjust as follows:

[Fig. 3-15] Voltage Differences

Make sure to apply the same for single-phase transformer as it offers almost the same with 3-phase
besides that there is no connection type variation.
Determination of the transformer impedance has been done in accordance with IEC Standard. Contact
the relevant institute, stated herein, for any question arising.
7) Input / Setting for Low Voltage Circuit Breaker (CB1)
Object name, rated voltage (in the unit of ‘A’), and rate of margin are all necessary input for CB1 as
stated in Fig. 3-16. User may further adjust on matters of the following: Protecting object, # of phase,
Circuit breaker type, Icu / Ics, etc.
 [Fig. 3-16] Input / Setting for Low Voltage Circuit Breaker

User may choose among Cable / Motor / Trip Current (Defaulted as Cable) for protecting object as
desired. Power Solution may detect an optimal circuit breaker option for User’s selection of Motor /
Trip Current.
Rate of margin defines how much ‘margin’ User allows in auto-determination of a circuit breaker.
Combination of 100% margin rate and 10kA fault current will get Power Solution to auto-detect a
circuit breaker properly getting rid of 10kA fault current, whereas 150% margin rate for the same
option shall detect the one good enough for 15kA fault current, 150% of 10kA. The following figures
each suppose margin rate of 100% and 150%, as fault current nears 12kA and 18kA, respectively.
Fault current. Note that the divergent result came from the application of the sheer different margin
rates.
 [Fig. 3-17] Margin Rate Variation for CB1
8) Low Voltage Circuit Breaker (CB1) Simulation
Power Solution offers generator and circuit breaker simulation. User may choose among Close / Open
triggering ‘Radio Button’ (Defaulted as Close) on mid-left side of the window.
For example, any system with opened CB will be inactive, once CB1 set to be Open, and will not be
concerned for fault current calculation. This offers a chance for User to run varied scenarios with a
single file.
9) Input / Setting for High Voltage Circuit Breaker (CB1)
High voltage circuit breaker features almost the same with LV one at large, with the exceptions that
offering HV options for circuit breaker variation (Susol VCB(Hi-capacity), Susol VCB(Mid-
capacity), Susol VCB(Low-capacity), pro-MEC) and designation of an object name for each.
 [Fig. 3-18] Input / Setting for High Voltage Circuit Breaker
10) Input / Setting for 3-phase Cable (W1)
Data may be imported from DB or manually set as you can see in Fig. 3-19. User may manually set
object name, cable length, ohm, % impedance, and thermal constraint, with system voltage auto-
detected and set by Power Solution. User may also adjust as follows:
 [Fig. 3-19] Input / Setting 3-phase Cable

Data are automatically imported from DB if chosen. Note that the imported data represent ‘most
general value applicable’ and may thus not be square with the actual cable data of the system. ‘%
impedance’ value, if known, may also be set by User as the figure above. The same is applied to
single-phase cable and bent-type 3-phase cable (upward / downward).

Determination of the transformer impedance has been done in accordance with IEC Standard. Contact
the relevant institute, stated herein, for any question arising.

11) Input / Setting for Fuse (F1)

High voltage system may embrace a fuse. Note that a fuse may not be manually adjusted as the circuit
breaker relay does so the fuse choice for the appropriate purpose / circuit adaptation is deemed most
important.
Fuses vary by the dimension of them. Default setting is DIN, with the allowed rated voltage scope of
5~200A. Note that User may set the desired name of the fuse, as seen in Fig. 3-20, which may also be
applied to the drawing window.
 [Fig. 3-20] Input / Setting for Fuse
12) Input / Setting for Relay
High voltage system may also embrace a relay, classified into ‘Feeder / Incoming’, ‘Transformer’,
‘Motor’, and ‘Motor Incoming’ according to what it protects. System incorporates a relay of LS
brand. Note that use of a relay shall accompany a circuit breaker so that the rated voltage can
properly be induced. A concerned relay is able to detect and break overcurrent and classified once
again into, ‘Standard Inverse’, ‘Very Inverse, ‘Extremely Inverse’, ‘KEPCO-SI’, ‘KEPCO-VI’, ‘IEEE
MI’, ‘IEEE EI’, and ‘IEEE VI’, according to its performance characteristics. User may manually input
‘CT ratio’, ‘operating value’, ‘operating time’, and ‘delay’ or allow the system to auto-set by
importing the data of the standard relay. For instantaneous value input, check the box, as stated in Fig.
3-21’ to activate ‘operating value’ and ‘operating time’.
 [Fig. 3-21] Input / Setting for Relay
Contact the relevant institute, stated herein, for any question arising associated with a relay.
13) Input / Setting for Low Voltage Motor(M1)
As seen in Fig. 3-22, data may be imported from DB or subject to the manual input. User may
manually set object name, motor capacity (in the unit or kW or kVA), % impedance (positive-
subtransient reactance X(+), positive reactance X/R), power factor, efficiency, etc. System voltage is
auto-set. Click on ‘Combo’ button to adjust differences between the rated voltage and system voltage.
Note that # of phase and grounding method are also subject to User selection.
 [Fig. 3-22] Input / Setting for Low Voltage Motor
User may specify negative-phase / subtransient reactance when known. Empty value will be deemed
the same as positive-phase does.
Add cable(s) for a low voltage motor by clicking on “Add Cable between Motor and Switch” and
“Yes” to activate a window to input wire information as desired. This offers User an option to add
cable(s) often required during the operation.
14) Input / Setting for TOR, EMPR, & Type2 Coordination
Make sure to set a motor protection relay such as M/C, M/S, TOR, and EMPR at the bottom of a
motor input window. Choose a desired operating method and select TOR for a motor protection relay
to determine the applied voltage. TOR is a proper choice to protect a motor from overload, open-
phase, and stall or for an extensive start-up time. Note that Class 10A and Class 20A are both
classified into Trip Class, in compliance with IEC 60747, the International Standard for relay.
Standard and open-phase relay are Class 10A type, while time-lagged relay is Class 20A type.
Meanwhile, EMPR (Electronic Motor Protection Relay), also called as ‘Electronic Overcurrent
Relay’ or ‘Electronic Overload Relay) may replace TOR to protect a low voltage motor. This
comprises GMP, DMP, IMP series.
Check the type of relays at the bottom of the relay setting window. EMPR and TOR may be chosen to
be one of general-type or digital-type as seen in Fig. 3-23 and 3-24. Note, at the bottom right of the
window, that Type2 Coordination is classified into MCCB+MC, MMS+MC. Though combined use of
a circuit breaker and switch allows CB to break the cable in case of an accident, it is inevitable to
totally break short circuit current toward a contactor or EMPR which demands such downstream
devices to bear certain level of resistance against the unintended short circuit current inflow. Type2
Coordination thus defines, by IEC terms, the qualified level that the devices shall be able to bear.
Power Solution offers a broad database, qualified by LS Industrial System Power Testing Center, for
a proper application of Type2 Coordination.

[Fig. 3-23] Pop-up as TOR Chosen

 [Fig. 3-24] Pop-up as EMPR Chosen
User may choose among Cold Start Curve / Hot Start Curve, according to the starting current of the
motor operation, to define an operating method. As EMPR basically operated on the basis of ‘Inverse
Time’ property, however, there would be a transition to Hot Start curve. For direct operation of a
motor, Cold Start method will rather be chosen for Hot Start operation. Such Cold / Hot Start curve
are classified by the rated voltage scope of each.
Note that chosen CB and Switch are indicated on top of the drawing window and component window.

[Fig. 3-25] Low Voltage Motor Composition

15) Input / Setting for High Voltage Motor

With the exception of a switch connected, HV and LV motor are basically the same in terms of their
properties.
Make sure to properly choose ‘Port Type’ in the middle of Fig. 3-26 among Fixed / Single Draw-out /
Combination (PF combination) / Single External Draw-out / Combined (PF combination) External
Draw-out. Note that Combination (PF combination) option incorporates ‘LS PF Fuse (3.6/7.2kV)’.
Select a desired fuse and fuse current to check your choice on a high voltage motor input window or
drawing window.
Combination shall incorporate one of ‘Firm Excitation’ or ‘Instantaneous Excitation’. ‘Firm
Excitation’ induces the operating core into the fixed one to turn the contactor ON, only during coil
excitation, otherwise the operating core, by the effect of a spring, rotates around the cross bar to turn
the contactor OFF. ‘Instantaneous Excitation’ incorporates a ‘latch’ that mechanically holds the
current after the operating core is induced in. To turn OFF the contactor, it excites the trip coil and
deactivate a latch to finish turning OFF. Such process may manually be done by turning the trip button
on to ‘OFF’ a latch to finally trip the contactor.

[Fig. 3-26] High Voltage Motor Composition and Setting-up

4. Skeleton Checking
Click on the second ‘Dice’ on a tool-bar to activate skeleton checking procedure. This turns out Error
(unable to proceed) or Warning (Warns improper setting while proceeding) where:

[Fig. 4-1] Tool-bar Executions

Errors:
1) The rated voltage of branching circuit breaker exceeds the thermal constraint of cable.
à Solution: Lower the rated voltage of circuit breaker / Change cable bearing greater thermal
constraint level.
2) The rated voltage of branching circuit is insufficient to match that of motor.
à Solution: Enhance the rated voltage of circuit breaker / Change motor bearing lower rated voltage.
3) Required data are not provided
à Solution: Properly input every datum demanded.
4) Device is improper for the certain voltage level.
à Solution: Use device appropriate for the voltage level.
For the system example herein, skeleton checking may show up the following result:

[Fig. 4-2] Error Report

Fix the detected errors / warnings by manually opening the listed result or work on the input window
directly from the above error report window. Refer to following to activate the component input
window:
 [Fig. 4-2] Activation of Component Input / Setting via Error Report Window
Double-click on the given error list to activate the corresponding component input window to fix.
Make sure to click on the first ‘Dice’ button to resume skeleton checking to ensure no error.
5. Fault Calculation
The following Fig. is a fault calculation procedure after finishing skeleton checking:

[Fig. 5-1] Fault Calculation Run

Make sure to check the fault calculation result on the window and the status bar notifying the finished
status of the calculation. Further make sure that the drawing window un-gridded so the system is set
ready to be finalized.

[Fig. 5-2] Post-calculation Component Input Window

Open the component input window to ensure ‘Set Ready’ status as on Fig. 5-2 as ‘Saving’ function is
deactivated. Click once again on the first ‘Dice’ button to adjust the system. Note that the third ‘Dice’
button is activated, on post-calculation status, to auto-set circuit breaker in accordance with the
calculated result.
Part of the system, such as circuit breaker (LV/ HV), fuse, or relay may be adjusted on post-
calculation status. User may previously narrow down the scope of circuit breaker auto-setting by
manual setting as Fig. 5-3:

[Fig. 5-3] Changeable Item on Post-calculation Status

6. Relay Auto-set
Click on the third ‘Dice’ Button to auto-set relay. Note that relay auto-set deactivates the second
‘Dice’ button, while activating the first (System adjustment) and fourth (Protection Coordination)
ones.

[Fig. 6-1] Tool-bar Presentation as Third Dice Button Clicked On

Ensure the proper auto-selection of circuit breakers as Fig. 6-2 and refer to Fig. 6-3 to adjust each
CB:

[Fig. 6-2] Circuit Breaker Auto-selection

System example previously sets CB1 to be Susol MCCB Electronic-type, with the rated voltage of
400A. On such basis, the fault calculation result comes up with 7.57. Note that, under 100% margin
rate, the calculated result 7.57 will be considered as it is for the auto-set procedure of circuit
breaker(s). List of CBs, highlighted red in Fig. 6-3, are all Susol MCCB Electronic-type satisfying
the foresaid conditions, in order of ‘suitability’. Double-click on a desired option to select. User may
set the temperature level, that CB shall be able to bear, on Master File Manager and Icu / Ics option
as well.
Selection of Icu / Ics on the component input window may also be applied to the CB list to
immediately sort out.
 [Fig. 6-3] List of CBs Falling Within
Choose a different CB, if desired, and click on ‘Save’ to activate the selection and check the CB title
on the drawing window.
User may also deviate from Susol MCCB Electronic-type by forcing manual selection of the desired
CB.
Note that, upon such forced selection of ACB, Susol ACB, or Metasol ACB, the different icon is
presented on the drawing window. Despite the difference in icon presentation for an high voltage CB,
the icon will be presented in VCB-type as a low voltage CB is set to be ‘High Voltage’ system-wise.
Same is applied for the high voltage CB setting.
 [Fig. 6-4] Selection of ACB-type CB

[Fig. 6-5] Drawing Window for High Voltage CB

7. Protection Coordination
The purpose of protection coordination is mainly to protect the subject device(s) and minimize black-
out extent and period when happened and classified into ‘Cascading Method’ and ‘Discrimination
Method’ as follows:
Cascading Method: Appropriate when ‘downstream CB is incapable of 100% fault current break
within the entire range of protection. Application of the method forces a ‘branching’ relay to work
simultaneously or prior to ‘branched’ ones do to alleviate burden. While efficiently protecting the
entire system, this may harm the ‘sustainable’ operation of the system.
Discrimination Method: Appropriate when downstream CB is capable of 100% fault current break
within the entire range of protection’. Application of the method remains Upstream CB resting. While
securing the operational ‘sustainability’, establishment of the system costs more, compared to
Cascading Method.
Click on the fourth ‘Dice’ button to review and secure the properly coordinated state.

[Fig. 7-1] Post-‘Protection Coordination’ Tool-bar Presentation

Refer to Fig. 7-1 to note C/D option, each indicating Cascading / Discrimination (Defaulted as ‘D’).
Next, select, in order, each CB that you want to refer to. Use Shift key combination to click on a
couple. Right-click the selected CB to activate a pop-up on Fig. 7-2. Select Protection Coordination
option to check ‘properly coordinated’ status of CBs (on the basis of LS Standard) on the top /
bottom. Note that inappropriate coordination result pops up a menu saying ‘Would you choose another
protectable CB?’. Click on ‘No’ or ‘Yes’ to reject or manually select another CB, respectively.
Selection of ‘Yes’ activates the component input window for the downstream CB where User may
check the list of CBs in order of suitability to the current system environment. Manually choose a CB
from the list as desired.
 [Fig. 7-2] Protection Coordination Status Review

[Fig. 7-3] Result Pop-up

The foresaid Fig. says CB1 and CB2 are properly coordinated with each other, under the limited
voltage of 50kV. Note that, on the contrary to the above, inappropriate coordination state may pop-up
a reject message stating the given CB combination is not existing within LS Standard. Upon
appearance of such message, LS Industrial System does not guarantee the successful coordination and
operation of such combination.
Furthermore, Power Solution also offers User to simply check the coordination state by limitedly
referring to CB parameters, without reference to the drawing window via the coordination window.
See ‘Susol Coordination’ part for more information.
8. T-C Curve Reference
User may refer to T-C curves for up to five different components after CB auto-set, inclusive of:
Low Voltage Circuit Breaker / Transformer / Low Voltage, High Voltage Motor / Fuse / Relay.
Note that CB and transformer each feature two different T-C curves, representing maximum and
minimum values and ‘damage curve’ and ‘inrush curve’, respectively. Motors also represent two
different curves of ‘operation characteristic curve’ and ‘relay characteristic curve’. Alike CB, fuse
curves also represent max / min values, while relay curves each represent ‘Inverse Time’, ‘Definite
Time‘, ‘Time Delay’, or ‘Instantaneous’ section. Note, however, the different presentation of sections
where solid line section is guaranteed by LS and dotted line section is not (but detectable).
For T-C curve reference, select the desired object first and click on ‘T-C curve representation’ on
Tool-bar or right-click the object to activate one of T-C Curve / T-C Curve Scheme options.
Note that T-C Curve represents a curve of a single object selected, while T-C Curve Scheme
overviews that of the entire system over the course of all hierarchy and represents the single-line
diagram of the selected portion, as seen in the bottom left of Fig. 8-1 for User’s convenience without
necessity to go back to the drawing window for T-C curve reference.

[Fig. 8-1] T-C Curve Scheme Overview

As this part limitedly explains on a matter of T-C curve reference, see ‘Susol T-C Curve’ part for
more information on T-C Curve presentation.
Select, at least one, the object(s) as stated in Fig. 8-2. Next, right-click on the selected object to pop-
up and select T-C Curve to present the corresponding curve as Fig. 8-1. Note that this does not
presents the single-line diagram, which may only be available in ‘T-C Curve Scheme’ option.
 [Fig. 8-2] Selection of T-C Curve from Drawing Window

Make sure to limit your selection within a couple of CBs on the top and bottom for ‘T-C Curve
Scheme’ option. Note, as well, that right-clicking when T-C Curve window is on does not activate ‘T-
C Curve Scheme’ as it is only able to add a new T-C curve as stated below. This, however, just adds
another curve on the ‘existing’ T-C Curve window on, without drawing the whole new curve or
making it possible to overview the single-line diagram.
Select, alternatively, the desired object on the drawing window and click on the shortcut below to
activate T-C Curve window, likewise.

15. Relay T-C Curve Search / Adjustment
Relay T-C Curve can be referred directly from the system composition (‘Show T-C Curve’ option) or
by searching the object out of T-C Curve window:

[Fig. 15-1] T-C Curve Selection

Refer to Fig. 15-1 to note the sequence of selections. Choose ‘Relay’ to activate the list of the
available protective element, usage, performance characteristics, in order. Make sure to properly
choose options, particularly ‘Usage’ by which the relay setting shall vary.
As stated above, performance characteristics are also classified into ‘Standard Inverse’, ‘Very
Inverse, ‘Extremely Inverse’, ‘IEEE MI’, ‘IEEE EI’, ‘IEEE VI’, ‘KEPCO-SI’, and ‘KEPCO-VI’.
These are determined on the basis of the constants applied to the following ‘Characteristics Formula’,
where:

Trip Time = , where IS : Current set , IF: Fault current.

Check application of constants <A, B, C> as follows: *TL = 0.05~1.20/0.01, DT = 0~300s/0.001s

Sort Type A B C
SI 0.14 0.02 0
VI 13.5 1 0
IEC
EI 80 2 0
LI 120 1 0
MI 0.0515 0.02 0.114
IEEE[ANSI] VI 19.61 2 0.491
EI 28.2 2 0.1217
SI 0.11 0.02 0.42
KEPCO
VI 39.85 1.95 1.084

As determined by the formula, each relay bears ‘default values’, subject to User adjustment, on its
performance characteristics.
Note that ‘Fault Current’ value is necessary to draw out relay curve without system composition
procedure.
Choose the tab ‘Relay’ or click on the title of the desired relay to adjust relay settings and
correspondingly, the curve as seen in Fig. 15-1:

[Fig. 15-2] Relay T-C Curve

motor types available to activate ‘Capacity’. Choose, then, a capacity to activate ‘Power Factor’.
Finalize the procedure by inputting ‘System Voltage’ to check the curve.
 [Fig. 16-3] Motor Curve Selection

[Fig. 16-4] Damage / Inrush Curve for Motor

Motor represents two different currents of ‘Starting Current’ and ‘Inrush Current’. Note, from Fig.
16-4, that the starting current and inrush current each work 8 and 12 times greater than the rated one,
respectively, and represented within 2 sec / 0.04 sec. Motor settings are pending User adjustment
current.
Check TR/Motor Adjustment Window and use TOR / EMPR options to double-check the curve drawn
out and adjust the corresponding tap settings.
17. Fuse T-C Curve Search / Adjustment
Refer to Fig. 17-1 for Fuse T-C Curve Search. Choose ‘Fuse’ and dimension to activate ‘Rated
Voltage’ option. Choose, then, a rated voltage to activate ‘Rated Current’. Finalize the procedure by
inputting ‘System Voltage’ to check the curve.

[Fig. 17-2] Fuse Curve

Fig. 17-2 shows that the fuse’s curves are represented both in solid and dotted lines, according to the
‘Security’ of values by LS. Value. The solid line means that it is guaranteed by LS, whereas dotted
line is unguaranteed.
Choose ‘Fuse’ from the result window to activate ‘Fuse’ tap where User may check the object name
or adjust dimension, rated voltage, and rated current. Any change will be reflected to the
corresponding curve immediately afterwards.
18. T-C Curve Movement by Voltage / Current Ratio
Susol T-C Curve Module features current movement and voltage ratio adjustment functions to
simultaneously represent LV and HV values. Refer to Fig. 18-1 to compose a Susol MCCB
Electronic-type curve bearing 400V of system voltage and a fuse bearing 22900V of system voltage:

[Fig. 18-1] Curves with Different System Voltages

[Fig. 18-2] Curve Stretching Out of Screen

Note the fuse curve is stretched out (Indicated in Arrow Mark) of screen due to the voltage spread.
Rightward and leftward arrow mark indicate greater and smaller current, respectively so that User
can be aware of further stretch of curve to check. Adjust ‘Current Ratio’ on top (Select or Input) to
stretch-view the curve as depicted in Fig. 18-3, multiplying 100 times ‘Ratio 1’:
 [Fig. 18-3] Stretch-viewing Curve by Adjusting ‘Current’ Ratio
Note that Arrow Mark is disappeared and indication of the unit at the bottom stating the presentation
status (CURRENT IN AMPERES 100 @ 400 VOLTS).
Make sure to apply the ratio multiplication, if any, to properly read ‘Current’ value.
Apply the same for ‘Voltage’ ratio. Suppose an example of a curve 400V status and User wanting to
stretch the curve to 22900V one. To do so, input the desired value (22900V) at ‘Voltage Ratio’ option
on top of the screen. Note that the input value will be working as a default when the curve is drawn
directly from a T-C Curve window and corresponding system. The following figure is the same what
Fig. 18-2 does, with the exception of Voltage Ratio change to 22900V:

[Fig. 18-4] Stretch-viewing Curve by Adjusting ‘Voltage’ Ratio

Note the changed Voltage Ratio value to 22900V and the corresponding status presentation
(CURRENT IN AMPERES 1 @ 22900 VOLTS). Note further that the formula of Existing current X
Current Voltage / Projected Voltage comes up with Voltage Ratio.
19. General / Engineering Mode of Susol T-C Curve
