Plug Setting Multiplier (P.S.M.): The ratio of fault current in relay coil to the pick-up current is called Plug Setting Multiplier (P.S.M.).
Mathematically it can be express as,
Plug Setting Multiplier (P.S.M.) = =
For example, suppose that a relay is connected to a 400/5 current transformer and set at 150%. With a primary fault current of 2400 A, the plug-setting multiplier can be calculated as under :
Pick-up Current = Rated secondary current of C.T. % Current setting = 5 1.5=7.5 A
Fault current in relay coil =
Plug Setting Multiplier (P.S.M.) =
Time Setting Multiplier (T.S.M): A relay is generally provided with control to adjust the time of operation. This adjustment is known as time-setting multiplier. The time-setting dial is calibrated from 0 to 1 in 0.2 steps of 0.05 sec (see Figure - 01). These figures are multipliers to be used to convert the time derived from time/P.S.M. curve into the actual operating time. Thus if the time setting is 0.1 and the time obtained from the time/P.S.M. curve is 3 seconds, then actual relay operating time = 3 0.1 = 0.3 second.

In electrical engineering, the maximum power transfer theorem states that, to obtain maximum external power from a power source with internal resistance, the resistance of the load must equal the resistance of the source as viewed from its output terminals.
Let Impedance of,
Xc near the terminal X is Z1=-j10
10 ohm resistance, Z2=10
3 ohm resistance, Z3=3
XL, Z4 =j14
Xc near to source, Z5=-j10
Now,
Zth=[Z5 || (Z3 +Z4) ] + Z2 +Z1
= [ -j10 || (3+j4)] + 100- j10
= 112 - j36
For t<0, the switch is closed.
Capacitor acts as open to DC.
Voltage across the capacitor,
v(0-)= {(12||4)×V}÷{(12||4)+6} = 8VFor t=0, the switch is opened,Voltage across the Capacitor cannot change instantaneously,So, v(0-)= v(0) = 8VAt t>0, The capacitor is discharging.Rth = (12||4) = 3 ohmC= 1/6 FTime constant, Π = Rth×C = 0.5 So, v(t) = v(0)e-t/Π = 8e-t/0.5 =8e-2t V (Ans.)
