22kV substation).
E/F – Earth fault relay operating at primary fault current of 20% of approved load subject to a
maximum of 120 Amp with time lag of not more than 0.5 sec.
CT – Current transformer Class 5P10, 15VA or better.
CB – Circuit breaker with adequate breaking capacity and circuit breaker using shunt trip shall
be provided with series trip (Direct acting trip) device that operates with no time delay
under short-circuit condition, or with HRC fuses in series.
To circuit breaker trip circuit.

Notes:
Where there is more than one incoming service, a 4-pole bus-section breaker shall be provided and
be mechanically interlocked against parallel operation of the incoming services.
