This document contains calculations for protection settings for a 7.5MVA transformer connecting a 33kV feeder to an 11kV bus. It provides the base MVA, impedance values, fault levels, and resulting fault currents. It then calculates the operating times for overcurrent and earth fault protection and ensures adequate margins between devices. A table summarizes the selected settings for overcurrent and earth fault protection at different points in the system.

PROTECTION SETTINGS CALCULATIONS
Useful information
- Base MVA = 100MVA
- Rating of the TX 2 = 7.5MVA
- Percentage Impedance of the TX 2 at Tap 9 and Tap 17 is 7.70% and 7.47%
respectively
- Fault MVA at Chemosit 33kV bus = 0
62.10426.258 −∠
- Conductor size of the 33kV Kericho feeder and length from Chemosit is 2
75mm
ACSR and 20KM respectively
- Settings for 5L5 at Chemosit (Back up O/C & E/F);
 O/C : PSM = 300A, & TMS = 0.3
 E/F: PSM = 50A, & TMS = 0.4
