Differential Protection A differential current does not always mean there is a fault in the transformer Inrush current in power transformers Saturation of current transformers Overexcitation Tap changer position etc. Means of coping with these situations must be included in the design 14
Differential Protection Ability is included to handle two tap changers, i.e. one tap changer per winding on any two windings Functionality Three-section settable restrain characteristic High set unrestrained operation Idiff Idunre Unrestrained operation operate 1.0 pu Idmin 1.25 pu restrain Ibias 15
Transformer Inrush Current Stabilization Second harmonic stabilisation Wave form stabilisation wave block CT saturation cause a second harmonic component in the secondary current 16 Transformer inrush currents contain a percentage of second harmonic current. This is used for discrimination but second harmonic blocking normally causes delayed operation in case of CT saturation. It is also possible to monitor the shape of the differential current signal. The low-current gap measurement indicates inrush.
Transformer Inrush Current Stabilisation Internal fault followed by CT saturation Delayed trip of the restrained differential function due to the traditional use of second harmonic blocking (Set level 15 %) 17
Overvoltage Stabilization The fifth harmonic component is used for stabilization 3 2 1 Magnetizing current at system overvoltage i L1 i L2 i L3 0-1 -2-3 18 The fifth harmonic component appears as a characteristic quantity in the transformer magnetizing current during overvoltage.

26 Negative sequence current function - summary Fast operating times half cycle Start from ordinary differential protection required, but blocking conditions are bypassed Sensitive negative sequence protection Gives sensitive turn-to-turn fault protection The trip request must be confirmed several times in succession before the final trip request is placed this security feature causes an increase in the operating time The operating time is about 30ms for very lowlevel turn-to-turn faults This sensitive negative sequence protection is blocked for high fault current conditions
