Safety information
Strictly follow the company and international safety regulations.

Working in a high voltage environment requires serious approch
to aviod human injuries and damage to equipment
Do not touch any circuitry during operation. Potentially lethal
voltages and currents are present
Avoid to touching the circuitry when covers are removed. The

IED contains electirc circuits which can be damaged if exposed
to static electricity. Lethal high voltage circuits are also exposed
when covers are removed
Using the isolated test pins when measuring signals in open

circuitry. Potentially lethal voltages and currents are present
Never connect or disconnect wire and/or connector to or from

IED during normal operation. Dangerous voltages and currents
are present. Operation may be interrupted and IED and
measuring circuitry may be damaged
Always connect the IED to protective earth regardless of the

operating conditions. Operating the IED without proper earthing
may damage both IED and measuring circuitry and may cause
injuries in case of an accident.
Do not disconnect the secondary connection of current

transformer without short-circuiting the transformer’s secondary
winding. Operating a current transformer with the secondary
winding open will cause a high voltage that may damage the
transformer and may cause injuries to humans.
Do not remove the screw from a powered IED or from an IED

connected to power circuitry. Potentially lethal voltages and
currents are present
Using the certified conductive bags to transport PCBs (modules).

Handling modules with a conductive wrist strap connected to
protective earth and on an antistatic surface. Electrostatic
discharge may cause damage to the module due to electronic
circuits are sensitive to this phenomenon
Do not connect live wires to the IED, internal circuitry may be
damaged
When replacing modules using a conductive wrist strap

connected to protective earth. Electrostatic discharge may
damage the modules and IED circuitry
When installing and commissioning, take care to avoid electrical

shock if accessing wiring and connection IEDs
Changing the setting value group will inevitably change the IEDs
operation. Be careful and check regulations before making the
change

About this chapter

This chapter describes the protection principle, input and
output signals, parameter, IED report and technical data for
differential protection function.

1 Introduction
The numerical current differential protection represents the main protec-
tion function of the IED. It provides a fast short-circuit protection for
power transformers. The protected zone is selectively limited by the CTs
at its ends. The device is able to perform this function on 2 or 3 winding
transformers in a variety of voltage levels and protected object types.
2 Applications
The IED provides numerical differential protection function which can be
used to protect power transformers in various configurations. For exam-
ple, it is possible to use it for a two-winding transformer, three-winding
transformer as well as auto-transformer. Examples for some of applica-
tions are illustrated in the below figure.

This section describes basic principle of differential protection function.
21
First, the case of a single phase transformer with two windings is con-
sidered. The basic principle is based on current comparison at two sides
of the protected object. Indeed, the differential protection function makes
use of the fact that a protected object carries always the same current at
its two sides in healthy operation condition. This current flows into one
side of the protected object and leaves it from the other side. A difference
in currents is an indication of a fault within this section. An example of this
condition is shown in below figure, when a fault inside the protected zone
causes a current I1prim. + I2prim. flowing in from both sides of the protected
object.

Figure 7 Basic principle of differential protection for two ends

(single phase)
For protected objects with three or more sides, the basic principle is ex-
panded in that the total of all currents flowing into the protected object is
zero in healthy operation, whereas in case of a fault the total in-flowing
current is equal to the fault current.
When an external fault causes a heavy current to flow through the pro-
tected transformer, differences in the magnetic characteristics of the
current transformers CT-1 and CT-2 under saturation condition may
cause a significant difference in the secondary currents I1 + I2 connected
to IED. If the difference is greater than the pickup threshold, the differen-
tial protection function can trip even though no fault occurred in the pro-
tected zone. To prevent the protection function from such erroneous op-
eration, a restraint (stabilizing) current is brought in. For differential pro-
tection IED, the restraint current is normally derived from the I1 and I2.
The next subsection goes on to demonstrate how the differential and re-
straint currents are calculated.
3.1 Differential and restraint current calculation

22
The differential current Idiff and the restraining current Ires are calculated
by the following equation. The following definitions apply for each phase
of the protected object.
 N 
 I diff 

 i 1

Equation 3
Where I i is the current vector of side i, corresponding to HV, MV and LV
windings; N is total current inputs of the IED. In other words, it is number

of the protected object sides; I j (max) is the maximum current vector
N 1 
among the N current inputs of the IED, suppose it is side j;  I i (i j ) is
i 1
the sum of the other current inputs of the IED, not including side j. Idiff is
derived from the fundamental frequency current and produces the trip-
ping effect quantity, whereas Ires counteracts this effect. To clarify the
situation, three important operating conditions with ideal and matched
measurement qualities are examined.
(a) External fault under undisturbed conditions:
I1 flows into the protected zone, I2 leaves the protected zone, i.e. is
negative according to the definition of signs, therefore I2 = –I1.
Idiff = I1 + I2 = I1 – I1 = 0
Ires = 0.5×| I1 - (–I1) | = 0.5×|2I1| = |I1|
No tripping effect (Idiff = 0); the restraint (Ires) corresponds to the exter-
nal fault current flowing through the protected object.
(b) Internal fault, fed with equal currents from both sides:
The following applies I2 = I1
Idiff = I1 + I2 = I1 + I1 = 2 I1
Ires = 0.5×| I1 - I1| = 0
23
Tripping effect (Idiff) corresponds to double the fault current, and restraint
value (Ires) are equal to zero.
(c) Internal fault, fed from one side only:
The following applies when assuming I2 = 0
Idiff = I1 + I2 = I1 + 0 = I1
Ires = 0.5×|I1 - I2| =0.5× |I1 - 0| = 0.5×|I1|=0.5 I1
Tripping quantity (Idiff) and restraint quantity (Ires) are equal and corre-
spond to the single-sided fault current.
The results show that the device is capable to properly discriminate in-
ternal and external faults by using the definitions proposed for differential
and restraint current. However, the device is still subjected to some in-
fluences that induce differential currents even during normal operation
condition. These influences should be compensated in appropriate
manners. The specific treatments designed to cope with these influences
includes automatic ratio compensation and automatic vector group
compensation which are explored in the next subsections.
3.2 Automatic Ratio compensation
Differential protection of power transformers represents some problems

in the application of current transformers. CTs should be matched to the
current rating of each transformer winding, so that normal current through
the power transformer is equal on the secondary side of the CT on dif-
ferent windings. However, because only standard CT ratios are available,
this matching may not be exact. As a result, the secondary currents of the
current transformers are not generally equal when a current flows
through the power transformer. The difference between the currents
flowing through CTs’ secondary circuit depends on the transformation ra-
tio of the protected power transformer, as well as the rated currents of the
current transformers. Therefore, the currents should be matched in order
to become comparable. To do so, the input currents of the IED are con-
verted in relation to the power transformer rated currents. This is
achieved by entering the characteristic values of the power transformer
(i.e. rated apparent power and rated voltages) and primary rated currents
of CTs into the IED by using user-entered settings. As a result, matching
to various power transformer and current transformer ratios is performed
purely mathematically inside the device. Therefore, no external matching
24
transformer is required. In this context, the rated primary current of each

side, I1N, is calculated automatically according to below equation.
SN
I 1N 
3U 1N
Equation 4
Where SN is rated apparent power of the transformer and U1N is rated

voltage of the corresponding side.
The rated secondary current of each side, I2N, is then calculated.
I 1N
I 2N 
nCT
Equation 5
Rated secondary current of the high voltage side is then taken as the
reference current. The currents of the other sides are automatically
matched to the rated current of the high voltage side by calculation of
correction factor KCT for MV and LV side, according to below equations,
respectively:
I 2 N  HV I /n S / 3U 1N  HV nCT  MV U 1N  MV nCT  MV

Equation 7
Where KCT-MV is the correction factor for middle voltage side and
KCT-LV is the correction factor for Low voltage side,
25
I1N is the primary rated current of the transformer (I1N-HV for high volt-
age side, I1N-MV for middle voltage side and I1N-LV for low voltage
side),
I2N is the secondary rated current of the transformer (I2N-HV for high
voltage side, I2N-MV for middle voltage side, I2N-LV for low voltage
side),
nCT is CT ratio of the transformer (nCT-HV for high voltage side, nCT-MV
for middle voltage side, nCT-LV for low voltage side),
U1N is rated voltage of the transformer (U1N-HV for high voltage side,
U1N-MV for middle voltage side, U1N-LV for low voltage side).
As mentioned previously, all of the calculations are automatically per-

formed inside the IED by its CPU. The related settings can be found
under the menu “Test Menu”.
Below figure shows an example of automatic ratio compensation in case

of a two-winding transformer. The primary nominal currents of the HV and
LV sides, (I1N = 402A, I2N= 1466A) are calculated from the rated ap-
parent power of the transformer (160MVA) and the nominal voltages of
each side (230kV and 63kV). Since the nominal currents of the current
transformers deviate from the nominal currents of the power transformer
sides, the secondary current of LV side is multiplied with the factor
KCT-LV. Subsequent to this matching, equal current magnitudes are
achieved at both sides under nominal conditions of the power transform-
er.

Concerning three-winding power transformers, the windings may have

different power ratings. In order to compare secondary currents in an
appropriate manner, all currents are matched to the rated secondary
current of HV winding having highest power rating. This apparent power
is nominated as the rated apparent power of the transformer.
Below figure shows an example of a three-winding power transformer.

HV winding and MV winding are rated for 160MVA. The rated primary
and secondary currents of these windings are calculated as shown in
previous example. However, the LV winding has 25MVA rating (e.g. for
auxiliary supply). The rated current of this winding may result in 721A.
However, differential protection has to process comparable currents.
Therefore, the currents of LV winding should be referred to the rated
apparent power of the transformer, i.e. 160MVA. This results in a rated
current of 4619A. This is the base value for the LV winding, which should
be further multiplied by KCT-LV to be used in calculation process of dif-
ferential protection.

If a three-winding transformer with a delta LV winding (with no CB in-

stalled) is used to supply substation LVAC loads, it may be desired that
LV current should not be integrated in differential protection. In this case,
Control word “Diff Includes LV Cur” is used to select whether LV current
should be included in differential protection calculation procedure or not.
By applying setting “Diff Includes LV Cur” to 0, only HV and MV currents
would be included in differential protection calculation. On the contrary,
when a three-winding transformer is equipped with three CBs in its sides,
it may be desired to include LV current in differential protection. This can
be achieved by applying setting “Diff Includes LV Cur” to 1 to respective
Control word.
3.3 Automatic Vector group and zero sequence

current compensation
Transformers have different vector groups, which cause a shift of the

phase angles between the primary and the secondary side. Without ad-
equate correction, this phase shift would cause a false differential current.
Furthermore, the conditioning of the starpoint(s) of the power transformer
has a great impact on the resulting differential current during through fault
currents.
The IED removes this problem. To do so, all CTs at the power trans-
former are connected Wye (polarity markings pointing away from the
transformer). User-entered settings in the relay are then used to char-
acterize the power transformer and allow the relay to automatically per-
form all necessary phase angles, and zero sequence compensation. This
section describes the procedures that perform this compensation inside
the relay and produce the required calculated quantities for transformer
differential protection. The phase angle compensation as well as zero
sequence current elimination procedure is performed by programmed
coefficient matrices which are capable to simulate the difference in phase
angle of currents flowing through transformer windings. Thus, compen-
sation is possible for the entire commonly used transformer vector
groups. This simplifies application of the IED in various configurations, if
the setting corresponding to vector Group Angle, “Vet Grp Angle”, is
properly entered into the device, together with the settings for connection
type of transformer windings in each side, “HV WIND CONN/Y-0 D-1”,
“MV WIND CONN/Y-0 D-1”, “LV WIND CONN/Y-0 D-1”, which could be
set to 1-delta or 0-wye. The basic principle of numerical vector group and
zero-sequence compensation is shown through some examples. A
through review of all possible connection groups as well as device
28
treatment in each case is explored in Appendix.

(separate or auto-connected windings), YNy0, Yyn0, YNyn0 (separate or

case of Yy0 connection group with no earthed starpoint. The figure

rents (right).

According to these matrices, if we deduct side 1 currents I A  I B , the re-
29
 
sulting current I A has the same direction as I A on side 2. Multiplying it
with 1 3 , matches the absolute value. The matrices describe the con-
version for all three phases. Using these matrices, the elimination of zero
sequence currents are warranted regardless of starpoint earth connec-
tion.
As mentioned previously, the two above equations can be used similarly

for auto-transformers, as the auto-connected windings in au-
to-transformers can only be connected Y(N)y(n)0. If the starpoint is
earthed, both the auto-connected HV and LV windings are affected. The
zero sequence components in current flowing through both sides of the
transformer are then coupled because of the common starpoint. These
zero sequence components are eliminated by the application of the ma-
trices presented in the above equations.
(2). Take example for Yd1 connection, including similar ones of Yd1 and
YNd1 without earthing transformer installed at delta side. Below figure

If an earthing transformer/reactor is installed inside the protected zone on

delta side, the IED should be informed about it by Control word “HV
D_side Eliminate I0”, “MV D_side Eliminate I0” or “LV D_side Eliminate
I0”. The Control word related to delta side with earthing connection
should be set to “1-eliminate” in such condition. By taking example for
Yd1 connection with earthing transformer installed at delta side, Control
word “LV D_side Eliminate I0” is set to “1-eliminate”, and thus, device
performs a zero sequence current elimination on delta side. In this case,

Subsequent to application of the magnitude, vector group and zero se-

quence compensation, the IED use the following calculated quantities
(per phase) to discriminate between internal and external faults: funda-
mental component of differential and restraint currents together with in-
stantaneous value, 2nd and 5th harmonic contents of differential current.
The following sections go on to demonstrate the fault recognition criteria
using these derived quantities.
4 Protection principle
4.1 Instantaneous differential protection

characteristic
34
An instantaneous (unrestrained) differential characteristic which entails

an overcurrent protection is provided for fast tripping on heavy internal
faults. The characteristics can be enabled or disabled by using Control
word “Func_Inst Diff” (1-on, 0-off). If setting “1-on” is selected, a trip sig-
nal is issued regardless of the magnitude of the restraining current, as
soon as the differential current rises above the threshold ID>> (setting "
I_Inst Diff "). The generated trip signal is phase selective. it means that
the device issues event reports “Inst Diff Trip A”, “Inst Diff Trip B” or “Inst
Diff Trip C”, when the calculated differential current in phase A, B or C
exceeds the threshold ID>> (setting " I_Inst Diff "). The purpose of this
stage of differential protection is extremely fast operation in case of high
magnitude internal fault currents. This is always the case when the short
circuit current is higher than IN/Uk%, which indicates a fault inside the
power transformer. It should be noted that the magnitude of through fault
currents are always lower than IN/Uk%, when they are supplied via
power transformer. （In this equation, IN is nominal current and Uk% is
short circuit voltage of the power transformer.）
The logic diagram of instantaneous differential protection is shown in

below figure.

Figure 15 Tripping logic of the instantaneous differential protection
As mentioned previously and can be seen from the figure, the stage op-
erates as an unrestrained protection function. In other words, it is not in-
hibited by any of harmonic stabilization features of the percent differential
element as well as the CT failure detection. This means that it can oper-
ate even when, for example, a considerable second harmonic is present
in the differential current, which is caused by current transformer satura-
tion by a DC component in the fault current, and which could be inter-
preted by the inrush inhibit function as an inrush current.
35
This high current stage evaluates the fundamental component of the dif-
ferential current as well as the instantaneous values. Instantaneous value
processing ensures fast tripping even in case the fundamental compo-
nent of the current is strongly reduced by current transformer saturation.
Fast trip area is shown in Figure 16.
4.2 Treble slope percent differential protection

characteristic
The percent differential protection uses a treble-slope dual break-point

operating characteristic with magnetizing inrush and overexcitation and
CT failure detection inhibits integrated. The treble slope characteristics
can be enabled or disabled by using Control word “Func_Percent Diff”
(1-on, 0-off). If setting 1-on is selected, the stage calculates differential
and restraint current separately in each phase to obtain operating point in
each operation condition. The derived point is then mapped into Idiff-Ires
plane to examine whether it lies in trip or block area which is defined
according to predefined operating characteristic. The operation charac-
teristic is shown in below figure.

Figure 16 Differential protection characteristics for transformers
In this characteristic, branch 1 represents the sensitivity threshold of the

differential protection. The setting of ID> (setting "I_Percent Diff") defines
the minimum differential current required for operation. The setting is
chosen based on the amount of differential current that might be seen
under normal operating conditions which corresponds to constant error
currents such as magnetizing currents and CT errors under no-load con-
36
ditions. The setting for slope of branch 1 is applicable for restraint cur-
rents of zero to the first break-point indicated on restraint axis (setting
"I_ResPoint1 Diff"). The slope (setting “Slope1_Diff”) defines the ratio of
differential to restraint current above which the percent differential stage
will operate. The first break-point on restraint axis defines the end of the
slope 1 region and the start of the second branch region. This setting
should be set just above the maximum operating current level of the
transformer. This level is somewhere between the maximum
forced-cooled rated current of the transformer and the maximum emer-
gency overload current level.
Branch 2 considers current-proportional errors which may result from

transformation errors of the main CTs or the input CTs of the relay. This
may also contain the error caused by the influence of tap changers in
power transformers with voltage control. The setting for slope of branch 2
(setting “Slope2_Diff”) is applicable for restraint currents of the first
break-point to the second one on restraint axis, and defines the ratio of
differential to restraint current above which the element will operate. This
slope is set to ensure sensitivity to internal faults at normal operating
current levels. The second break-point on restraint axis (setting
“I_ResPoint2 Diff”) defines the end of the slope 2 region and the begin-
ning of the slope 3 region. This setting should be set to the level at which
any of the protection CTs is probable to saturate.
In the range of high through fault currents which may give rise to high
differential currents as a result of CT saturation, branch 3 is applicable to
provide additional stabilization. The setting for the slope of this branch
(setting “Slope3_Diff”) is applicable up to the point at which the branch
intersects the characteristic of instantaneous differential protection.
As a summary of the fault detection using operating characteristics of the

above figure, the calculated differential and restraint currents, IDiff and
IRest, are compared by the differential protection with the operating
characteristic according to the following formula ,
I diff  S1I res  I D I res  I R1 

Where S1 is the slope of the branch 1 (setting “Slope1_Diff”),
37
S2 is the slope of the branch 2, (setting “Slope2_Diff”),
S3 is the slope of the branch 3, (setting “Slope3_Diff”),
ID> is the setting for the sensitivity threshold of the differential protection,
(setting “I_Percent Diff”),
IR1 is the setting for the first breakpoint restraint current, (setting
“I_ResPoint1 Diff”),
IR2 is the setting for the second breakpoint restraint current, (setting
“I_ResPoint2 Diff”).
If the operating point calculated from the quantities of differential and re-
straint current falls into the trip area, a trip signal is issued by the percent
differential protection. The issued signals are phase selective. They can
be found in event report as “Per Diff Trip A”, “Per Diff Trip B” and “Per Diff
Trip C”.
This stage cannot operate when there is an inrush or overexcitation sta-

bilization or a restraint due to CT failure detection. This is illustrated in
below logic diagram.

Figure 17 Tripping logic of the percent differential protection
It should be noted that when the IED is delivered, both the instantaneous
and percent differential protection functions are switched off. Setting of
“0-off” is applied for Control words “Func_Inst Diff” and “Func_Percent
38
Diff”. This is because the fact that these protection functions should not
be used before at least the vector group and other essential parameters
for each side is correctly set. Without these settings the equipment may
show unpredictable behavior. (E.g. tripping)
4.3 Selective inrush stabilization schemes
In power transformers, high short-time magnetizing currents may be

present during power-up (inrush currents). The inrush current can
amount to a multiple of the rated current. These currents enter the pro-
tected zone. However, it does not exit again. They thus produce differen-
tial quantities, as they seem like single-end fed fault currents. Therefore,
they should be recognized in an appropriate manner. By this way, it is
possible to prevent false operation of differential protection caused by
inrush current. This possibility is provided in the IED. Selective inrush
stabilization can be enabled or disabled by Control word “Block Diff at
Inrush”, (1-Block, 0-Not Block). If setting “1-Block” is applied, the function
monitors differential current to detect an inrush condition. If the condition
is detected, it is possible to block differential protection phase-selectively.
Furthermore, alarm report entitled “Diff 2har Blk” is issued whenever in-
rush detection impose a blocking condition to differential protection. It
should be noted that the latter, is generated when any condition (2nd
harmonic, 3rd/5th harmonic, CT fail) leads to blocking of differential pro-
tection.
The IED provides two schemes to detect inrush conditions. The first
scheme is 2nd harmonic stabilization; the second scheme is fuzzy
recognition of inrush conditions based on the waveform. The two
schemes are convenient for user to be selected by the setting “2nd HAR
NOT WAVE” (1-2nd harmonic on; 0-waveform on). The two implemented
algorithm work alternatively. As soon as an inrush condition is recognized
by each of them, a restraint condition is applied to the respective phase
evaluation of percent differential protection. Since the applied restraint by
2nd harmonic detection operates individually per phase, the protection is
fully operative even when the protected transformer is switched onto a
single-phase fault, whereas inrush currents may possibly be present in
one of the healthy phases. It is, however, possible to set the protection in
a way that when the 2nd harmonic recognition is fulfilled only in one sin-
gle phase, not only the phase with the inrush current, but also the re-
maining phases of the percent differential protection are blocked. This is
achieved by cross-blocking the differential protection for a certain period
to avoid spurious tripping. The setting corresponds to “T_2nd Harm
Block”. Within this time, all three phases are blocked as soon as an in-
39
rush current is detected in any one phase. After the timer is expired, only
the phase with inrush current content is blocked.
4.3.1 2nd harmonic stabilization
By selecting “1-Block” for control-word “Block Diff at Inrush” and select-

ing“1-2nd harmonic” for Control word “2nd HAR NOT WAVE”, inrush
current is recognized if the second harmonic content in the differential
current exceeds a selectable threshold (setting “Ratio_2nd Harm”). The
ratio between the 2nd harmonic and the fundamental frequency compo-
nent is decisive to discriminate inrush conditions from the other operation
conditions. The ratio is calculated by the below equation. As soon as the
measured ratio exceeds the set thresholds, a restraint is applied to the
percent differential protection in respective phase.
I diff  2
 K 2
I diff 
Equation 20
Where Idiff-φ2 is 2nd harmonics magnitude of differential current, Kφ2 is

the setting for 2nd harmonics ratio, Idiff-φ is fundamental frequency
component of differential current.
4.3.2 Fuzzy recognition of inrush based on the

waveform
By selecting “1-block” in control-word “Block Diff at Inrush”, and selecting

“0-waveform on” for Control word “2nd HAR NOT WAVE”, inrush current
is detected by a fuzzy recognition method based on waveform. In this
context, differential current waveform is sampled in each phase by 2n
number of samples per cycle, each of the samples is nominated as I(k),
k=1, 2, …, 2n. Then the value of X(k) is calculated according to the below
equation.
I ( k )  I ( k  n)
X (k )  , k  1,2,...,n
I ( k )  I ( k  n)
40
Equation 21
The smaller values of X(k) represent that the calculated point corre-
sponds to fault condition with higher confidence level. Alternatively, the
larger values of X(k) gives a picture that there is large content of inrush
current in the waveform. Assume that X(k) belongs to “inrush Fuzzy
class” with membership function of A[X(k)]. Then, the fuzzy similarity co-
efficient for the n calculated values of X(k) in one cycle is defined as be-
low equation.
n
N  A[ X (k )] / n

Equation 22
The derived value of N is used in the IED to assess the differential cur-
rent corresponds to inrush condition or not. To do so, the value of N is
compared with a threshold K, and inrush content is recognized in the
current waveform, if N>K.

4.4 Overexcitation stabilization
Apart from the second harmonic, other harmonic contents can be se-
lected in the IED to cause stabilization of percent differential protection.
This is because the fact that unwanted differential currents caused by
transformer overexcitation may result in false tripping of the percent dif-
ferential protection. Since steady state overexcitation is characterized by
odd harmonics, the 3rd or the 5th harmonic can be selected in the IED to
judge for overexcitation stabilization. If it is desired to impose a blocking
condition to percent differential protection by these harmonics, Control
word “Block Diff at Overexcit” should be set to “1-on”. By applying this
setting, alarm report entitled “Diff 3/5har Blk” is issued whenever 3rd or
5th harmonic detection impose a blocking condition to differential protec-
tion. It should be noted that the latter, is generated when any condition
(2nd harmonic, 3rd/5th harmonic, CT fail) leads to blocking of differential
protection.
It is possible to use Control word “Overexcitation 3rd NOT 5th” to select

whether 3rd or 5th harmonic detection is utilized for detection of overex-
citation condition (1-3rd harmonic, 0-5th harmonic). Since the third har-
monic is often eliminated in delta winding of power transformers, the fifth
harmonic is more commonly used.
Similar to the 2nd harmonic stabilization, the applied restraint by 3rd or
42
5th harmonic detection operates individually per phase. It is, however,

possible to set the protection in a way that when the 3rd or 5th harmonic
recognition is fulfilled only in one single phase, not only the phase with
the inrush current, but also the remaining phases of the percent differen-
tial protection are blocked. This is achieved by cross-blocking the differ-
ential protection for a certain period to avoid spurious tripping. The set-
ting corresponds to “T_3/5th Harm Block”. Within this time, all three
phases are blocked as soon as an 3rd or 5th harmonic is detected in any
one phase. After the timer is expired, only the phase with 3rd or 5th
harmonic content is blocked.
The detection method used for 3rd or 5th harmonic is similar to those
applied for 2nd harmonic. However, setting “Ratio_3/5th Harm” is deci-
sive in this case. It means that 3rd or 5th harmonic is recognized if the
ratio between third or fifth harmonic and the fundamental frequency
component of the differential current exceeds the setting threshold. The
ratio is calculated by the below equation.
I diff  3 / 5
 K 3 / 5

Where Idiff-φ3/5 is 3rd/5th harmonic magnitude of differential current,

4.5 CT Failure supervision
During steady-state operation, the CT failure supervision monitors the

transient behavior of the currents flowing through secondary circuit of
each phase and thus registers failures in the secondary circuit of the
current transformers for each side of the power transformer. The function
can be enabled or disabled by using setting “CT Fail Detect” (1-On, 0-Off).
If setting “1-On” is applied, IED issues the alarm report “Ph_A CT Fail”,
“Ph_B CT Fail”, “Ph_C CT Fail”, whenever a CT failure is detected. It is
also possible to set differential protection to be blocked or not at CT fail-
ure detection through setting "Block Diff at CT_Fail" (1-Block, 0-Not
Block). By setting “1-Block”, the percent differential protection is blocked
immediately in all phases. Blocking condition is cancelled as soon as the
device is again supplied with a normal current in the relevant faulty
phase(s). It should be noted that the setting "Block Diff at CT_Fail" is not
useful if the differential current is very high (more than 1.2 Ie, Ie is the
rated current of high voltage side). In other words, blocking conditions
takes place only for treble slope percent differential protection. This
means that the instantaneous differential protection will issue trip if a dif-
ferential current greater than setting “I_Inst Diff” is present, even if " Block
Diff at CT_Fail " is set to 1-Block.
The criteria for CT failure detection are as follow:
The currents flowing through all three phases of CT secondary are nor-
mal at each side of the protected object. As a result, the differential cur-
rent is near to zero. When one or two phase current of one side is de-
creased to less than a threshold (half of the memory current), at the
same time all three phase currents in other side(s) are normal, and dif-
ferential current is more than a threshold (>0.3I_Percent Diff) at least in
one phase, the condition maybe an indication of CT failure in the muta-
tive phase(s). CT failure detection logic is illustrated in below figure.

4.6 CT Saturation supervision
When Internal and external faults occurs, it is possible that transient and
steady fault currents induce the CT saturation. CT saturation may lead to
mal-operation of differential protection when an external fault occurs. In
order to avoid mal-operation of protection in such situations, CT satura-
tion supervision element is integrated in IED.
When transient saturation of CT occurs, the 2nd harmonic content in the

corresponding phase current is dominant. Also whenever steady satura-
tion of CT occurs, the 3rd harmonic content in the corresponding phase
current is dominant. Both 2nd and 3rd harmonic contents of all phase
currents of each side of the protected transformer are calculated to judge
whether CT saturation occurs or not. Comprehensive harmonic ratio is
calculated by below equation.
I 2 I 3
  K har
I I
Equation 24
45
Where:
Iφ2 is 2nd harmonic magnitude of phase current at each side,
Iφ3 is 3rd harmonic magnitude of phase current at each side,
Khar is the setting for comprehensive harmonic ratio, fixed in the soft-
ware.
If the 2nd and 3rd harmonic contents of any phase current are more than
Khar, then CT satisfies the above formulas and it is saturated. Usually
before the CT saturation status, there is a short time period in which CT
still works in its linear characteristic. By very fast CT saturation detection
of IED, it needs only 4ms before any CT saturation happening to detect
the fault which is internal or external fault. In order to distinguish satura-
tion caused by internal faults and external faults effectively, percent dif-
ferential protection based on sample values is used. If CT saturation is
induced by external fault, differential protection will be blocked. However
if CT saturation is induced by internal fault, differential protection will
send its trip signal.
The typical saturation figure of phase A CT saturation is shown in below

figure.
Figure 22 Typical phase A current transformer Saturation waveform
4.7 Differential current supervision
In normal operation condition, zero differential current is assumed in

each phase. The differential current supervision monitors the differential
46
currents and checks its value to be less than a threshold. An alarm report
is generated as “Diff Cur Alarm” after 5s, if the differential current ex-
ceeds the threshold value. The alarm is an indication of miss-connection
in CT secondary windings, and therefore is released to remind user to
detect the faulty connection in secondary circuit and remove it. The func-
tion can be enabled or disabled by using setting “Func_Diff Alarm” (1-On,
0-Off). The fixed threshold for releasing alarm is 0.3I_Percent Diff. How-
ever, to avoid incorrect alarm indications, the threshold value is increased
to 0.1A (in 1A nominal current inputs) and to 0.3A (in A nominal current
inputs), if 0.3I_Percent Diff<0.1A. This is shown in below equations.

during an external fault.

3.1 Differential current and restraint current

calculation
The differential current Idiff and restraint current Ires are calculated via the
formula below, which is applicable to each phase of the protected object.

Equation 26
in which, I i is the current vector at I side, corresponding to I/II side, III/IV
side and V side, N is the total channel of current input, viz. N is the
quantity at the protected object sice, I j (max) is the lagest current vector
N 1 
and supposed to be j side current,  I i (i j ) is the sum of other current
i 1
inputs, excluding j side current. Idiff is from the fundamental current and
is used to determine the action value, and Ires is used to determine the
restraint value.For the details, three important operating situations are
listed below.
(a) External fault：
I1 flows into protection area, I2 flows out of the protection area, viz. I2 =
–I1.
Idiff = I1 + I2 = I1 – I1 = 0
Ires = 0.5×| I1 - (–I1) | = 0.5×|2I1| = |I1|
The IED does not trip (Idiff = 0), the restraint current is protected when
external fault current flows through the protected object
(b) Internal fault:
The current at each side is equal, viz. I1= I2
Idiff = I1 + I2 = I1 + I1 = 2 I1
Ires = 0.5×| I1 - I1| = 0
The IED trips, the Idiff is two times of the fault current and the Ires is 0.
(c) Internal fault:
57
The current is from one of the sides.
If I2 = 0
Idiff = I1 + I2 = I1 + 0 = I1
Ires = 0.5×|I1 - I2| =0.5× |I1 - 0| = 0.5×|I1|=0.5 I1
Idiff equals to Ires, then it is the single side fault current.
Based on the results above, the IED can distinguish the internal fault
and external fault via calculating the Idiff and Ires. However, the IED can
still be influenced by the differential in normal operation. This influence
should be compensated via automatic ratio compensation and auto-
matic phase compensation. For detailed introduction, please refer to
following sections.
3.2 Automatic ratio compensation
I/II side current is the reference current. III/IV side current and V side
current are matched with I/II side current automatically via the correction
coefficient of their calculations. The correction coefficient formulas are
as below.
nCT  III / IV
KCT  III / IV 
nCT  I / II
Equation 27
nCT V
KCT V 
nCT  I / II
Equation 28
In which, KCT-III/IV is III/IV side correction coefficient, KCT-V is V side

correction coefficient.
nCT is CT ratio,（nCT-I/II is I/II side CT ratio, nCTV is Vside CT ratio.
As sated above, all calculations are carried out in IED CPU.

4.1 Characteristic of differential instant tripping

protection
Differential instant tripping protection (without restraint) characteristic is

similar to overcurrent protection. The instant tripping occurs in case of
internal fault. The function can be enabled or disabled via control word
"Func_Inst Diff " (1-On, 0-Off). If the setting value is 1, the split phase
triping order is given when Idiff ID>>（setting value “I_Inst Diff”） without
considering the value of Ires. The report of protection tripping is “Per Diff
Trip A”, “Per Diff Trip B” or “Per Diff Trip C” when the Idiff Idiff ID>>（setting
value “I_Inst Diff”）. The IED trips when the internal fault current is rela-
tively large.
Logic diagram of differential instant tripping protection are shown in the

figure below.
Ia>ISD I_Inst Diff
and Per Diff Trip A

Func_Inst Diff
Ib>ISD I_Inst Diff and Per Diff Trip B
Ic>ISD I_Inst Diff

and Per Diff Trip C
Figure 26 Logic diagram of differential instant tripping protection
As shown in the figure above, there is no restricting to differential instant

tripping, viz. the differential instant tripping is not subjected to percentage
differential element harmonic characteristic and CT failure, which means
that the IED trips in case of CT saturation caused by DC offset charac-
teristic and 2nd harmonics caused by excitstion inrush.
The IED determines the fundmental current and setting value of differen-
tial instant tripping. The setting value of differential instant tripping should
make sure the IED trips instantly when the fundamental current de-
creases under the condition of CT saturation. For the instant tripping,
please refer to figure 16.
59
4.2 Three-slope differential protection

characteristic
Three-slope double breaking points differential protection has excitation

inrush, overexcitation and CT failure blocking characteristics. The
three-slope characteristic can be enables or disabled by control word "
Func_Percent Diff " (1-On, 0-Off). If the setting value is 1, the Idiff and Ires
of each phase in each section are calculated to get the tripping point, and
then compare with the Idiff-Ires tripping characteristic to determine the
tripping point is in the tripping area or the restraint area. The tripping
characteristic is shown in the figure below.

Figure 27 Transformer differential protection characteristic
In the tripping characteristic, Slope 1 is the sensitive threshold of differ-

ential protection, the setting value of ID (ID>"I_Percent Diff ICD”) is the
minimum differential current required by differential protection tripping. In
normal operation, the unbalanced current caused by excitation inrush
and CT difference when there is no load should be considered in the set-
ting of differential setting value. The setting range of slope 1 is from zero
to the first breaking point ( setting value of IR1 “I_ResPoint1 Diff “）on the
horizontal restraint axis. Slope 1 (setting value of Slope1_Diff ) is the ratio
of Idiff to Ires. The percentage differential protection area is above the slope
1. The first breaking point on the restraint axis is the ending of slope 1
and the staring of slope 2. The slope 1 should be slightly larger than the
maximum operating current of transformer and between the maximum
rated current required cooling and the maximum emergent overload
current.
60
Slope 2 should consider the current error caused by main CT of trans-

former and internal CT, including the error caused by transformer tap in
voltage regulating. The setting range of slope 2 (Slope2_Diff) is between
the first breaking point and second breaking point. The tripping order is
given when the ratio of Idiff to Ires is greater than this setting value. The
sebstivity of internal fault in normal operation should be ensured for the
value setting. At the same time, CT saturation should be considered. The
second breaking point is the ending of slope 2 and the starting of slope 3.
A very large differential current may occur when the over through fault
current causes CT saturation. The slope 3 may enure the stability of dif-
ferential protection. The setting value (Slope3_Diff) of slope 3 is set to
overlap with the differential instant tripping characteristic.
Fault detection is carried out through the tripping characteristic mentiond

in the figure above. The Idiff and Ires are compared with the following for-
mula of tripping characteristic.

IR1 is the first setting value at the restraint current breaking point
“I_ResPoint1 Diff”;
IR2 the second setting value at the restraint current breaking point

If the tripping point of Idiff and Ires are in the tripping area, the tripping order
will be given. The split-phase of tripping signal can be seen from the re-
port “Per Diff Trip A”, “Per Diff Trip B” and “Per Diff Trip C”.
When CT failure blocking conditions are met, the protection tripping

will be blocked, as shown in logic diagram.
61
Figure 28 Percentage differential protection tripping logic
The differential instant tripping and percentage differential protection are

not enabled upon the delivery of IEDs. The control word “Func_Inst Diff
protection” and “Func_Percent Diff” are set as zero. Because enabling
differential function before the correct setting of parameters at each side
phase and other basic parameters will lead to unpredicatable actions (for
example, tripping).
4.3 CT –secondary current supervision
In steady operation, the CT-secondary current supervision supervises the

current transient processing of each phase in secondary circuit and de-
termine whether CT secondary circuit at each side of the transformer fails
or not. The CT transient supervision can be enabled or disabled via con-
trol word “CT Fail Detect” (1-On, 0-Off). If the control word is set as 1 and
the CT failure is detected, the alarm report is given by the IED. The dif-
ferential protection can be set to determine whether to be blocked by CT
failure via control word “Block Diff at CT_Fail”. If being blocked by CT
failure is set, percentage differential protection at each phase is blocked
immediately. When the phase current recovers, the blocking conditions
are disabled correspondingly. What should be noted is that when the
differential current is very lage (for example, greater than 1.2 In), the
control word doesn’t work. In other words, blocking conditions make a
62
difference on three-slope percentage differential protection only, which

means that tripping occurs when the differential current is greater than
the setting value of differential instant tripping, even the differential pro-
tection is blocked through CT failure.
CT failure detection is based on following conditions.
In normal running status (without the startup of protection), the current

flows through each side of transformer is normal, therefore, the differen-
tial current is zero. CT failure may occur when the current of one phase
or two phases at one of the sides is reduced to the threshold value of
current (half of the memorizing current), meanwhile, three-phase current
at other sides is normal and at lwast one phase differential current is
greater than the threshold value (greater than 0.3 times of setting value
of differential protection current ICD).
The logic diagram of CT failure detection in case of abrupt variables is

shown in figure below.

4.4 CT saturation detection
63
When the external or internal fault occur, the transient fault current and
load current may lead to CT saturation, which may cause differential
misoperation. To avoid the misoperation in case of saturation, CT
saturation detection is equipped within the IED.
When transient saturation of CT occurs, the 2 nd harmonics are very

large in corresponding phase. The 2nd and 3rd harmonics are calculated
at each phase of each side to determine whether CT is saturated or not.
The total harmonics ratio is calculated by using the formula below.
I 2 I 3
  K har
I I
Equation 30
In which
Iφ2 is the 2nd harmonics amplitude at each side current;
Iφ3 is the 3rd harmonics amplitude ar each side current;
Khar is the setting value of total harmonics ratio, fixed setting value in the
software.
If the 2nd harmonics and 3rd harmonics in any phase of current is larger
than Khar, meanwhile, CT meets the calculating formula listed above,
then it is CT saturation. Generally, CT still has liner characteristic before
saturation. 4 ms is needed only to determine interal or external fault be-
fore CT saturation. The differential protection adopts the sampling value
to determine rapidly CT saturation is caused by internal fault or external
fault. The differentional protection will be blocked if CT saturation is
caused by external fault. The tripping signal will be given if CT saturation
is casused by internal fault.
Typical A phase saturated wave is shown in the figure below.
64
Figure 30 Typical A phase CT saturation and wave
4.5 Differential supervision
In normal running status, the differential current of each phase is con-

sidered as zero. The differential supervision supervises the differential
current and determine if the current is less than the threshold value. The
alarm report " Diff Cur Alarm" will be given in 5s if the differential current
is greater than the threshold value. The alarm is used to inform users to
check CT secondary winding connection error and clear the fault. This
function can be enabled or disabled via control word "Func_Diff Alarm"
(1-enable, 2-disable). The setting threshold value of alarm is 0.3 times of
"ICD I_Percent Diff". However, to avoid wrong alarm, the threshold value
will increase to 0.06A(1A CT) and 0.3A(5A CT) if the 0.3 times of "ICD
I_Percent Diff" is less than 0.06In. The formular is shown as below.

restricted earth fault protection function.
73
1 Introduction
The restricted earth fault protection detects earth faults in power trans-
formers with earthed starpoint or in non-earthed power transformers with
a starpoint former (earthing transformer/reactor) installed inside the pro-
tected zone. A precondition for using this function is that a CT should be
installed in the starpoint connection, i.e. between the starpoint and earth.
The starpoint CT and the phase CTs define the limits of the protected
zone by restricted earth fault protection.
2 Applications
The IED provides two restricted differential protection functions which
can be used independently at various locations. For example, it is possi-
ble to use them for both windings of YNyn transformer which is earthed at
both starpoints. Further, one of them can be implemented to protect an
earthed transformer winding and the other for an earthing transform-
er/reactor. In case of auto-transformers, one of them is sufficient to pro-
tect the auto-windings. Examples for some of applications are illustrated
in the below figure.

auto-transformer
During healthy operation condition, no starpoint current 3I01 flows
through the starpoint CT. Furthermore, the sum of the phase currents 3I02
=IA.2 + IB.2 + IC.2 is almost zero. In case of auto-transformer, both the re-
sidual currents 3I02 =IA.2 + IB.2 + IC.2 and 3I03 =IA.3 + IB.3 + IC.3 are zero. With
an earth fault inside the protected zone, a starpoint current 3I01 flows.
Moreover, depending on the earthing conditions of the power system
outside the protected zone, a further earth current may be recognized in
the residual current path of the phase CTs (3I02 and 3I03). Since all the
currents flowing into the protected zone are defined positive, the residual
current from the system (3I02 and 3I03) is more or less in phase with the
starpoint current (3I01). With an earth fault outside the protected zone, a
starpoint current 3I01 flows into the protected zone, together with equal
residual current 3I02 and 3I03 which flows toward outside of the protected
zone, through the phase CTs. Keeping in mind positive direction current
flow, which is toward the protected zone, the starpoint current is in phase
opposition with 3I02 and 3I03.
With the described situations, it may seem to be simple to discriminate an

internal fault from an external one. However, there are some difficulties to
do so. For instance, when a strong fault without earth connection occurs
outside the protected zone, a residual current may appear in the residual
current path of the phase CTs. The residual current is caused by different
degrees of saturation in phase CTs and could simulate a fault in the
protected zone. Thus, additional measures should be taken to prevent
this current to cause false tripping. To achieve this objective, the re-
stricted earth fault protection provides a restraint quantity.

tion when the operating point lies into tripping area (see below figure) and
the preset time delay is expired (setting “HV T_REF Trip”, “MV T_REF

Figure 38 Tripping logic of the restricted earth fault protection
To clarify the proper operation during various situations, three important

operating conditions are examined.
External fault:
3I01 enters the protected zone, whereas 3I02 leaves the protected zone,
i.e. is negative according to the definition of signs, therefore 3I02 = –3I01.
Idiff0 = |3I01 + 3I02| = |3I01 – 3I02|= 0
Ires0 = max {|3I01|, |3I02|} = |3I01|
No tripping quantity (Idiff0 = 0); the restraint quantity (Irest0) corresponds

to the external fault current flowing through the starpoint connection.
Internal fault, fed only from the starpoint:
78
In this case, 3I02=0, thus,
Idiff0 = |3I01 + 3I02| = |3I01 + 0| = |3I01|
Ires0 = max {|3I01|, |3I02|} = |3I01|
Both the tripping (Idiff0) and the restraint (Irest0) quantities correspond to
the fault current flowing through the starpoint.
Internal fault, fed from the starpoint and from the system, e.g. with equal
earth current magnitude:
Both the 3I01 and 3I02 enter the protected zone, thus having positive sign.
The condition results in 3I02 = 3I01.
Idiff0 = |3I01 + 3I02| = |3I01 + 3I02|= 2×|3I01|
Ires0 = max {|3I01|, |3I02|} = |3I01|
Tripping quantity (Idiff0) corresponds to double the fault current flowing

through the starpoint connection, and restraint quantity (Irest0) is equal to
the fault current.
The results show that the device is capable to properly discriminate in-
ternal and external earth faults by using the definitions proposed for dif-
ferential and restraint current. However, the device is still subjected to
some influences that induce differential currents even during normal op-
eration condition. These influences should be compensated in appropri-
ate manner. The specific treatments designed to cope with these influ-
ences includes automatic ratio compensation which is explored as fol-
lows.
3.2 Automatic Ratio compensation
Restricted earth fault protection represents some problems in the appli-

cation of current transformers regarding to matching between phase and
starpoint CTs. The problem is originated from different ratio of phase and
starpoint CTs. The difference may result in a differential current in normal
operation condition. To remove this problem, the input currents of the
relay from starpoint CTs should be converted according to primary rated
currents of phase and starpoint CTs. In the IED, this objective is achieved
by taking a common reference value and converting all secondary cur-
rents of starpoint CTs into the same reference. The conversion is per-
79
formed by calculation of ratio compensation factor for starpoint CTs. The

compensation factors are then multiplied by the secondary current of
starpoint CTs to make them comparable with those current measured at
phase CTs. The conversion procedure is performed inside the device.
The ratio compensation factors are calculated as follow:
nStarpoint HV
K Starpoint HV 
nPhase HV
Equation 34
nStarpointMV
K StarpointMV 
nPhaseMV

Equation 36
K StarpointHV
Where is the ratio compensation factor for HV starpoint
K StarpointMV
CT; is the ratio compensation for MV starpoint CT
K Starpoint LV
and is the ratio compensation for LV starpoint CT;
For auto-transformer, in addition to the common winding starpoint CT, the

measured current from phase winding of MV winding should also be
converted to the common reference current. In this context, the ratio
compensation factors are calculated as follow:
nPhaseMV
K MV 
nPhase HV

nStarpoint

Where K MV is the ratio compensation factor for MV phase CT, and

is the ratio compensation factor for common winding starpoint
CT.

Figure 39 Earth fault protection tripping logic
When an external fault causes a heavy current to flow through the pro-
tected transformer, differences in the magnetic characteristics of the
current transformer CT2 under saturation condition may cause a signifi-
cant difference in the secondary currents I02 connected to IED. If the
difference is greater than the pickup threshold, the REF protection func-
tion can trip even though no fault occurred in the protected zone. To
prevent the protection function from such erroneous operation, a restraint
81
(stabilizing) ratio, zero-sequence current divides positive-sequence cur-

rent, is brought in.
I0
15%
I1
Where I0 is zero-sequence current, I1 is positive-sequence current.
Only when the ratio is greater than 15% can the REF protection trip.
3.4 Restricted earth fault current alarm
In normal operation condition, zero differential current is expected for re-

stricted earth fault protection. The Restricted earth fault current supervi-
sion monitors Idiff0 and checks its value to be less than a threshold. An
alarm report is generated as “HV REF 3I0 Alarm”, “MV REF 3I0 Alarm” or
“LV REF 3I0 Alarm”, after the preset time of “HV T_REF Alarm”, “MV
T_REF Alarm” or “LV T_REF Alarm”, if the differential current exceeds
the threshold value “HV 3I0_REF”, “MV 3I0_REF” or “LV 3I0_REF”. The
alarm is an indication of miss-connection in phase or starpoint CT sec-
ondary windings, and therefore is released to remind user to detect the
faulty connection in secondary circuit and remove it. The function can be
enabled or disabled by using setting “HV Func_REF Alarm”, “MV
Func_REF Alarm” or “LV Func_REF Alarm”, (1-On, 0-Off). The setting
range of the threshold differential current to release restricted earth fault
current alarm is on [0.08-10A]. However, to avoid incorrect alarm indica-
tions, the threshold value is increased to 0.1A (in 1A nominal current in-
puts) and to 0.3A (in 5A nominal current inputs), if the set value is less
than 0.1A.
DANGER: Before Restricted Earth Fault protection is put into operation on
site, polarity of neutral current transformer for REF must have been
checked right by an energizing test of every side of the transformer or a

test of simulating an external fault of the side in primary system. Otherwise
a mal-operation may occur during an external earth fault.

Chapter 6 Overexcitation protection
About this chapter

This chapter describes the protection principle, input and output
signals, parameter, IED report and technical data for
overexciation protection function.
89
1 Introduction
The overexcitation protection is used to detect impermissible overexcitation
conditions which can endanger power transformers. An increase in trans-
former flux beyond the rated values leads to saturation of the iron core and to
large eddy current losses which cause impermissible temperature rise in
transformer core.
2.1 Protection principle
The overexcitation condition may occur in power plant transformers when a

load center is disconnected from the system, and the voltage regulator does
not operate sufficiently fast to control the associated voltage rise. Similarly,
the overexcitation condition may occur as result of a decrease in frequency,
e.g. in island system. To protect the power transformer in such conditions, the
overexcitation protection function should pick up when the permissible limit of
flux is exceeded in the transformer core. To do so, the overexcitation protec-
tion function measures the voltage/frequency (U/f) ratio which is proportional
to the flux density B in transformer core, and puts it in relation to the nominal
flux density BN. The decision is then made based on the calculated ratio as is
shown in below equation.
B U f
N 
BN U N f N
Equation 39
Where N is the ratio of volt/hertz calculated by the device.
U and f are the measured voltage and frequency, and UN and fN are the rated
voltage and frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) of the device. While the rated fre-
quency is fixed to 50Hz or 60Hz in software, device is informed about rated
voltage by setting “Reference Voltage” which corresponds to nominal
phase-neutral voltage of the protected transformer when is transferred to
secondary value, using the turn ratio of voltage transformer. Thus, the use of
90
the overexcitation protection presumes that measured voltage is connected to

the device. Calculation of voltage/hertz ratio above is performed based on the
maximum voltage of the three phase-neutral or phase-phase voltages. Con-
trol word “V/F Voltage(0-VPP,1-VPN)” determines whether phase-to-phase
voltage or phase-neutral voltage should be used for overexcitation protection,
by setting “0-VPP” or “1-VPN”, respectively.
It should be mentioned that the overexcitation protection can operate properly,

only if frequency is in range of 0.5 - 1.3 times the rated frequency and voltage
is greater than 0.7 times the rated voltage. If frequency or voltage is out of the
specified range, an alarm report “U or F EXCEED” is generated by the device,
after a fixed time delay of 150ms, and the overexcitation protection is blocked.
The logic is shown in below figure.
V<0.7Un
O 150ms U or F EXCEED
R
f<0.5fn or
f>1.3fn
Figure 41 Condition for generating “U or F EXCEED” alarm
The overexcitation protection includes two definite characteristics (alarm and

trip) and one thermal characteristic. The latter characteristic provides an ap-
proximate replica of the temperature rise caused by overexcitation in the
protected object. The definite alarm stage can be enabled or disabled by us-
ing Control word “Func_Overexcit Alarm Def ” on. Similarly, the definite trip
stage can be enabled or disabled by using Control word “Func_Overexcit Trip
Def” on. Furthermore, the thermal characteristic can be set by Control word
“Func_Overexcit Trip Inv” on. It should be mentioned that the overexcitation
protection can be applied at HV, MV or LV side of the protected transformer.
However, it is not recommended to apply the function on the transformer side
with variable winding turns such as the transformer side with an installed tap
changer. To enable the protection on a given side, setting of “HV
Func_Overexcit” on, “MV Func_Overexcit” on and “LV Func_Overexcit” on
should be applied to corresponding Control words. However, these settings
should be applied to 1 only on one side at the same time. If any two of “HV
Func_Overexcit”, “MV Func_Overexcit” and “HV Func_Overexcit” are set to 1
at the same time, alarm report “Setting Err” will be given by the device.
All the three available stages of the overexcitation protection use

phase-to-phase voltage or phase-neutral voltage of the corresponding side in
their calculations, based on the setting applied at Control word “V/F Volt-
age(0-VPP,1-VPN)”.
91
If the definite alarm stage is enabled in one side, and the calculated volt/hertz
ration exceeds the threshold defined by setting “Func_Overexcit Alarm Def”,
an alarm report “Def V/F Alarm ” is generated by the device, after the time
delay “T_Definite Alarm” elapsed. The logic for the definite alarm stage of
overexcitation protection is shown in below figure when it is applied to HV
side. The logic is the same when the protection function is applied to other
sides.

If thermal characteristic is set to “1-on” in one of transformer sides, it uses the

measured voltage and frequency of the corresponding side (depending on the
setting applied at Control word “V/F Voltage (0-VPP,1-VPN)”), together with
ten points derived from the manufacturer data. The points correspond to the
desired tripping times for a given volt/hertz ratios. Intermediate values are
determined by performing linear interpolation by the device. The ratios range
from N=1.05 to N=1.50. They are entered into the device by settings
“T1_Inverse V/F=1.05”, “T2_Inverse V/F=1.10”, “T3_Inverse V/F=1.15”,
“T4_Inverse V/F=1.20”, “T5_Inverse V/F=1.25”, “T6_Inverse V/F=1.30”,
“T7_Inverse V/F=1.35”, “T8_Inverse V/F=1.40”, “T9_Inverse V/F=1.45” and
93
“T10_Inverse V/F=1.50”. The device uses these points to form an inverse

characteristic such as those shown in below figure.

As can be seen from the above figure, N=1.05 works as a pickup threshold for
thermal stage. The thermal replica is implemented in IED by a counter which
is incremented from 0% to 100%, as soon as the calculated voltage/hertz ra-
tio of exceeds the pickup threshold (N=1.05). If the counter reaches to 100%
corresponding to expiration of trip time delay according to the trip character-
istic, the event report “Inv V/F Trip” is given. The trip signal is cancelled as
soon as the calculated voltage/hertz ratio falls below the pickup threshold
(N=1.05). However, the counter is decremented to zero according to cool
down time of the transformer (the time by which the thermal replica counter
reaches from 100% to 0%). The cool down time is informed to the device by
setting “T_Cool Down”.

NOTE: If it is possible for a given transformers to operate continuously under

the condition of N=1.05, corresponding time delay setting (“T1_Inverse
95
V/F=1.05”) should be set to 9999s. The same approach can be taken when, for
example, it is permissible for a transformer to operate continuously under the
condition N=1.10, N=1.15 and so on. It means that the thermal characteristic is
compound of 10 points at most, and it maybe contains less than 10 points. The
thermal characteristic would be disabled if all the delay time settings are set to
9999s.
2.2 Voltage channel configuration
UA/B/C voltage input channel of 1st Analog input module (hereinafter is ref-
ered as AIM) is provided with the high accurate frequency measurement
hardware circuit. In order to offer the high performance overexcitation function
for HV, MV or LV side, the applied voltage input of HV side, MV side or LV
side must be connected with the UA/B/C voltage input channel of 1st Analog
input module (AIM1).
Only one of HV overexcitation, MV overexcitation or LV overexcitation func-

tions could be enabled for one transformer, so settings of “HV Voltage Chan
Sel” and “MV Voltage Chan Sel” under “Comm Para” submenu are used to
select the voltage channel.
For example of HV side; the setting “HV Voltage Chan Sel” can be set as 1, 2
and 3 which means voltage channels are connected to the corresponding
analog input module (see below table).

1 Introduction
The non-directional overcurrent elements can be applied as backup protec-
tion functions for transformer as well as power system protection in networks
with radial nature and those which are supplied from a single source. The
directional overcurrent protection can also be applied in systems where pro-
tection coordination depends on both the magnitude of the fault current and
the direction of power flow to the fault location, for instance in case of par-
allel transformers supplied from a single source.
2.1 Protection Elements
Each voltage side of the protected transformer is provided with three over-
current protection elements from which two elements operate as definite
overcurrent stages and the other one operates with inverse time-current
characteristic. All the elements can operate in conjunction with the integrated
inrush restraint and directional functions.
Various stages of the elements are independent from each other and can be
combined as desired. They can be enabled or disabled in each side using
dedicated Control words. These Control words include “HV Func_OC1”, “HV
Func_OC2” and “HV Func_OC Inv”, for HV side overcurrent protection, “MV
Func_OC1”, “MV Func_OC2” and “MV Func_OC Inv”, for MV side overcur-
rent protection, “LV Func_OC1”, “LV Func_OC2” and “LV Func_OC Inv”, for
LV side overcurrent protection. For example by applying setting “1-on” to “HV
Func_OC1”, respective stage of overcurrent protection would be enabled in
HV side.
Individual pickup value for each definite stage can be defined by setting “HV
I_OC1” and “HV I_OC2” for HV side, “MV I_OC1” and “MV I_OC2” for MV
side, “LV I_OC1” and “LV I_OC2” for LV side. By applying these settings, each
phase current is compared separately with the setting value for each stage. If
the respective value is exceeded, a trip time delay timer is started. The con-
dition for start of the delay timer is expressed mathematically by below equa-
tion, in which a, b and c represent three phases.
I   I set   a, b, c
( )
Equation 40
The timer is set to count up to a user-defined time delay. The time delay can
be set for each definite stage individually through settings “HV T_OC1” and
“HV T_OC2” for HV side, “MV T_OC1” and “MV T_OC2” for MV side, “LV
102
T_OC1” and “LV T_OC2” for LV side. After the user-defined time delays have
been elapsed, a trip signal is issued if the inrush restraint feature is applied
and no inrush current is detected or if inrush restraint is disabled. However,
the overcurrent protection would be blocked and therefore, no tripping takes
place if the inrush restraint feature is enabled and an inrush condition exists.
Further, an alarm report is issued as “HV Inrush Blk BU”, “MV Inrush Blk BU”
or “LV Inrush Blk BU” indicating that a blocking condition is imposed to over-
current element by inrush condition detection.
The pickup value for the inverse time-current stage can be defined by setting
“HV I_OC Inv”, “MV I_OC Inv” and “LV I_OC Inv” for HV, MV and LV sides,
respectively. Each phase current is separately compared with corresponding
setting value. If a current exceeds 1.1 times the setting value, corresponding
stage picks up. If an inverse time-current stage picks up, the tripping time is
calculated from the actual fault current flowing, using the selected tripping
curve. Maximum tripping time is limited to 100s.
The time delay of time-inverse characteristic is calculated based on the type

of the characteristic, the magnitude of the current and a time multiplier. For
the time-inverse characteristic, both ANSI and IEC based standard curves are
available and any user-defined characteristic can be defined using the fol-
lowing equation:

B_OC Inv: Time delay for inverse time stage
P_OC Inv: index for inverse time stage
K_OC Inv: Time multiplier Inrush restraint feature
(For detailed time inverse characteristic, refer to Appendix Time inverse

characteristic)
As mentioned previously, selection among the curves can be carried out by

settings “HV Func_OC Inv”, “MV Func_OC Inv” and “LV Func_OC Inv” for HV,
MV and LV sides, respectively. Furthermore, the time multiplier K_OC Inv can
be set by user to coordinate the integrated inverse time-current characteristic
103
of the device with other overcurrent relays installed for power system protec-
tion. This can be performed by settings “HV K_OC Inv”, “MV K_OC Inv” and
“LV K_OC Inv” in case of HV, MV and LV overcurrent elements, respectively.
By applying pickup current and time multiplier settings, the device calculates
the tripping time from the measured current in each phase separately, based
on the selected inverse curve. Once the calculated time has been elapsed, a
trip signal is issued provided that no inrush current is detected or inrush re-
straint is disabled. If the inrush restraint feature is enabled and an inrush
condition exists, the overcurrent protection would be blocked and therefore no
tripping takes place. However, an alarm report is generated as “HV Inrush Blk
BU”, “MV Inrush Blk BU” or “LV Inrush Blk BU”, indicating the blocking condi-
tion which is imposed to overcurrent element by detection of inrush condition.
The trip signals and corresponding event reports are available separately for
each stage. These include “HV OC1 Trip”, “HV OC2 Trip” and “HV OC Inv
Trip” for HV side, “MV OC1 Trip”, “MV OC2 Trip” and “MV OC Inv Trip” for MV
side, “LV OC1 Trip”, “LV OC2 Trip” and “LV OC Inv Trip” for LV side overcur-
rent elements.
2.2 Inrush Restraint Feature
The transformer overcurrent protection may detect large magnetizing inrush

currents flowing when transformer is energized. The inrush current may be
several times of the nominal current, and may last from several tens of milli-
seconds to several seconds. Inrush current comprises second harmonic as
well as considerable fundamental component. So it may affect the overcur-
rent protection which operates based on the fundamental component of the
measured current. Inrush blocking unit in overcurrent function is provided for
this purpose. It is possible to apply the inrush restraint feature separately to
each definite stage and inverse time-current stage of overcurrent element by
using Control words “HV OC1 Inrush Block”, “HV OC2 Inrush Block” and “HV
OC Inv Inrush Block” on for HV side, “MV OC1 Inrush Block”, “MV OC2 Inrush
Block” and “MV OC Inv Inrush Block” for MV side, “LV OC1 Inrush Block”, “LV
OC2 Inrush Block” and “LV OC Inv Inrush Block” for LV side. By applying set-
ting “1-on” to each of the mentioned Control words, no trip command would
be possible by corresponding stage, if an inrush condition is detected.
Since Inrush current contains a relatively large second harmonic component

which is nearly absent during a fault current, the inrush restraint feature op-
erates based on the evaluation of the second harmonic content which is
present in the measured current. The inrush condition is recognized if the ra-
tio of second harmonic current to fundamental component exceeds the set-
ting values “HV Ratio_I2/I1”, “MV Ratio_I2/I1” or “LV Ratio_I2/I1” in each
phase. The setting is applicable to both the definite stages of overcurrent
protection element as well as the inverse time-current stage for each voltage
side of the protected transformer. As soon as the measured ratio exceeds the
set threshold, a restraint is applied to those stages for which corresponding
setting is applied to make them blocked in inrush condition detection (“HV
OC1 Inrush Block”, “HV OC2 Inrush Block” and “HV OC Inv Inrush Block”
for HV side, “MV OC1 Inrush Block”, “MV OC2 Inrush Block” and “MV OC Inv
Inrush Block” for MV side, “LV OC1 Inrush Block”, “LV OC2 Inrush Block”
104
and “LV OC Inv Inrush Block” for LV side.).
Since the applied restraint by second harmonic detection operates individu-

ally per phase, the protection is fully operative even when the protected
transformer is switched onto a single-phase fault, whereas inrush currents
may possibly be present in one of the healthy phases. It is, however, possible
to set the protection in a way that when the second harmonic recognition is
fulfilled only in one single phase, not only the phase with the inrush current,
but also the remaining phases of the overcurrent protection are blocked. This
is achieved by cross-blocking the overcurrent protection for a certain period to
avoid spurious tripping. The setting corresponds to “HV T2h_Cross_Blk”, “MV
T2h_Cross_Blk”, “LV T2h_Cross_Blk”. Within this time, the overcurrent pro-
tection in all three phases is blocked as soon as an inrush current is detected
in any one phase. After the timer is expired, the overcurrent protection is
blocked only in the phase with inrush current content. To put it more simply,
cross blocking is reset if there is no more inrush in any phase, or the cross
blocking time interval is elapsed. It should be noted that inrush currents
flowing in the earth/ground path will not cross-block tripping by the phase
elements.
Furthermore, if the fundamental component of phase current exceeds the

upper limit value “HV Imax_2H_UnBlk”, “MV Imax_2H_UnBlk” or “LV
Imax_2H_UnBlk”, the inrush restraint will no longer be effective in respective
side, since a high-current fault is assumed in this case. The setting can be
applied for each overcurrent element in each side of the protected trans-
former.
2.3 Direction Determination Feature
The integrated directional function can be applied to each stage of overcur-

rent element via dedicated Control words. These Control words include “HV
OC1 Direction”, “HV OC2 Direction” and “HV OC Inv Direction” for HV side
overcurrent stages, “MV OC1 Direction”, “MV OC2 Direction” and “MV OC Inv
Direction” for MV side overcurrent stages and “LV OC1 Direction”, “LV OC2
Direction” and “LV OC Inv Direction” for LV side overcurrent stages. Fur-
thermore, the directional orientation can be set individually for each stage of
the overcurrent elements in various sides of the protected transformer. This
can be performed by using Control words “HV OC1 Dir To Sys, “HV OC2 Dir
To Sys” and “HV OC Inv Dir To Sys” for HV side, “MV OC1 Dir To Sys, “MV
OC2 Dir To Sys” and “MV OC Inv Dir To Sys” for MV side, “LV OC1 Dir To Sys,
“LV OC2 Dir To Sys” and “LV OC Inv Dir To Sys” for LV side. The possible
settings for these Control words comprise “0-toward transformer” and
“1-toward system”.
Basically, the direction determination is performed by determining the phase

angle between the fault current and a reference voltage. The direction of a
phase-directional element is detected by means of a cross-polarized voltage.
It means that the fault current of the corresponding phase is used together
with the healthy phase-to-phase voltage to determine direction of fault current.
This takes effect to all three phases. Below figure shows the assignment of
the measured values for the determination of fault direction for various types
of pickups in phase overcurrent elements.
105
NOTE: The direction mentioned above is based on that the positive polarity is
at the side of the busbar and the negative polarity is at the side the trans-
former.
Table 53 Voltage and current measurement used for direction determination
Phase Current Voltage
A Ia U bc
B Ib U ca
C Ic U ab
As can be seen, the healthy voltages are used in direction determination. This
allows for a correct direction determination even if the fault voltage has col-
lapsed entirely because of a single-phase short-line fault. With three-phase
short-line faults, memory voltage values are used to clearly determine the
direction if the measurement voltages are not sufficient. The directional ele-
ment of each side uses the voltage on itself side.
In a single-phase fault, the cross-polarized voltage (reference voltage) is 90°

out of phase with the fault voltage. With phase-to-phase faults, the position of
the reference voltage changes up to 30°, depending on the degree of collapse
in the fault voltages. In order to satisfy different network conditions and ap-
plications, the reference voltage can be rotated by an adjustable angle. For
each side of the protected transformer, the directional angle can be set in-
dependently. The settings include “HV Angle_OC”, “HV Angle_OC” and “LV
Angle_OC”, for HV, MV and LV sides, respectively.

During direction decision by directional function, a VT Fail condition (a short

circuit or broken wire in the voltage transformer's secondary circuit or opera-
tion of the voltage transformer fuse) may result in false or undesired tripping
by directional overcurrent elements. In such a situation, it is possible to select
operation status of the directional overcurrent protection elements in each
side by using a number of control worlds to block the overcurrent protection
elements or keep them in operational state with no direction decision (block
direction decision). The corresponding Control words include “Block HV OC
at HV VT_FAIL”, “Block MV OC at MV VT_FAIL” and “Block LV OC at LV
VT_FAIL”, for HV, MV and LV sides, respectively. When the Control words are
set as 0 to select “HV OC1 Direction”, corresponding overcurrent protection
elements will not judge direction at the local side VT failure. When they set as
1 to select “Block OC at VT Fail”, no operation is possible by the overcurrent
protection elements. It is noted that the Control words affect all the stages of
corresponding overcurrent elements at each side. For instance, by applying
setting “0- HV OC1 Direction”, all the three stages of the overcurrent element
will remain operative without direction determination in case of any fault in
secondary circuit of HV side voltage transformer. On the other hand, setting
“1- Blk HV OC at HV VT_Fail” makes them blocked.

2.4 CBF initiation Feature
It is possible to set whether the overcurrent protection elements can initiate

the integrated CBF protection or not. The available choices depend on the
voltage side of the power transformer at which overcurrent protection is ap-
plied. In this context, HV side overcurrent protection element always initiates
HV side CBF function with no additional setting. However, it is possible to
select whether it can initiate MV and LV CBF protection functions via Control
words “HV OC Initiate LV CBF” and “HV OC Initiate MV CBF”, respectively.
MV side overcurrent protection element always initiates MV side CBF function

with no additional setting. However, it is possible to select whether it can ini-
tiate HV side CBF protection function via Control word “MV OC Initiate HV1
CBF”.
LV side overcurrent protection element always initiates LV side CBF function

tiate HV side CBF protection function via Control word “LV OC Initiate HV1
CBF”.
More detail information about the initiation conditions and related Control
words can be found as below.

1.1 Protection elements
Each voltage side of the protected transformer is provided with three earth
fault protection elements from which two elements operate as definite earth
fault stages and the other one operates with inverse time-current characteris-
tic. All the elements can operate in conjunction with the integrated inrush re-
straint and directional functions.
Various stages of each element are independent from each other and can be
dedicated Control words. These Control words include “HV Func_EF1”, “HV
Func_EF2” and “HV Func_EF Inv” on, for HV side earth fault protection, “MV
Func_EF1”, “MV Func_EF2” and “MV Func_EF Inv”, for MV side earth fault
protection, “LV Func_EF1”, “LV Func_EF2” and “LV Func_EF Inv”, for LV side
earth fault protection. For example by applying setting “1-on” to “HV
Func_EF1”, respective stage of earth fault protection would be enabled in HV
side.
3I0_EF1” and “HV 3I0_EF2” for HV side, “MV 3I0_EF1” and “MV 3I0_EF2” for
MV side, “LV 3I0_EF1” and “LV 3I0_EF2” for LV side. By applying these set-
tings, each earth current (quantity 3I0) calculated from the three phase cur-
rents is compared separately with the setting value for each stage. If the re-
spective value is exceeded, a trip time delay timer is started. The condition for
start of the delay timer is expressed mathematically:
3I 0  3I 0set
Equation 42
be set for each definite stage individually through settings “HV T_EF1” and
“HV T_EF2” for HV side, “MV T_EF1” and “MV T_EF2” for MV side, “LV
T_EF1” and “LV T_EF2” for LV side. After the user-defined time delay has
been elapsed, a trip signal is issued if the inrush restraint feature is applied
and no inrush current is detected or inrush restraint is disabled. The earth
fault protection would be blocked and therefore, no tripping takes place if the
inrush restraint feature is enabled and an inrush condition exists. However, an
alarm report is issued nominated as “HV EF1 Inrush Block”, “HV EF2 Inrush
Block” or “HV EF Inv Inrush Block”, indicating the blocking condition of earth
fault element caused by inrush condition detection.
Pickup value for the inverse time-current stage can be set by setting “HV
3I0_EF Inv”, “MV 3I0_EF Inv” and “LV 3I0_EF Inv” for HV, MV and LV sides,
respectively. Each earth current (quantity 3I0) calculated from the three phase
currents is separately compared with corresponding setting value. If a current
120
exceeds 1.1 times the setting value, corresponding stage picks up. When an
inverse time-current stage picks up, the tripping time is calculated from the
calculated quantity 3I0, using the selected tripping curve. Maximum tripping
time is limited to 100s.
The time delay of time-inverse characteristic is calculated based on the type

of the characteristic, the magnitude of the current and a time multiplier. For
the time-inverse characteristic, both ANSI and IEC based standard curves are
available and any user-defined characteristic can be defined using the fol-
lowing equation:

Equation 43
Where I is the calculated earth fault current;
A_EF Inv: Time factor for inverse time stage
B_EF Inv: Time delay for inverse time stage
P_EF Inv: index for inverse time stage
K_EF Inv: Time multiplier
By applying the desired setting values, the device calculates the tripping time
from the zero sequence current. Once the calculated time elapsed, report “EF
Inv Trip” will be issued.
As mentioned previously, selection among the curves can be carried out by

settings “HV Curve_EF Inv”, “MV Curve_EF Inv” and “LV Curve_EF Inv” for
HV, MV and LV sides, respectively. Furthermore, the time multiplier K_EF Inv
can be applied by user to coordinate the integrated inverse time-current
characteristic of the device with other earth fault relays installed for power
system protection. This can be performed by settings “HV K_EF Inv”, “MV
K_EF Inv” and “LV K_EF Inv” in case of HV, MV and LV earth fault elements.
By applying pickup current and time multiplier settings, the device determines
the tripping time from the calculated earth current, based on the selected in-
verse curve. Once the calculated time has been elapsed, a trip signal is is-
sued provided that no inrush current is detected or inrush restraint is disabled.
If the inrush restraint feature is enabled and an inrush condition exists the
earth fault protection would be blocked and therefore no tripping takes place.
However, an alarm report is issued designated as “HV Inrush Blk BU”, “MV
121
Inrush Blk BU” or “LV Inrush Blk BU”, indicating the blocking condition of
overcurrent element caused by inrush condition detection.
each stage. They include “HV EF_1 Trip”, “HV EF_2 Trip” and “HV IDMTL EF
Trip” for HV side, “MV EF_1 Trip”, “MV EF_2 Trip” and “MV IDMTL EF Trip” for
MV side, “LV EF_1 Trip”, “LV EF_1 Trip” and “LV IDMTL EF Trip” for LV side
earth fault elements.
The transformer earth fault protection may detect large magnetizing inrush
currents flowing when transformer is energized. The inrush current may be
several times of the nominal current, and may last from several tens of milli-
seconds to several seconds.
Inrush current comprises second harmonic as well as a considerable funda-

mental component. So, it may affect earth fault protection which operates
based on the fundamental component of the measured current. Inrush
blocking unit in earth fault function is provided for this purpose.
It is possible to apply the inrush restraint feature separately to each definite

stage and inverse time-current stage of earth fault element by using Control
words “HV EF1 Inrush Block”, “HV EF2 Inrush Block” and “HV EF Inv Inrush
Block” for HV side, “MV EF1 Inrush Block”, “MV EF2 Inrush Block” and “MV
EF Inv Inrush Block” for MV side, “LV EF1 Inrush Block”, “LV EF2 Inrush
Block” and “LV EF Inv Inrush Block” on for LV side. By applying setting “1-on”
to each of the mentioned Control words, no trip command would be possible
by corresponding stage, if an inrush condition is detected.
Since the inrush current contains a relatively large second harmonic compo-
nent which is nearly absent during a fault current, the inrush restraint oper-
ates based on the evaluation of the second harmonic content which is present
in the phase currents. The inrush condition is recognized if the ratio of second
harmonic current to the fundamental component exceeds the setting value
“HV Ratio_I2/I1_EF”, “MV Ratio_I2/I1_EF” or “LV Ratio_I2/I1_EF” in each
phase current. The setting is applicable to both the definite stages of earth
fault protection element as well as the inverse time-current stage. As soon as
the measured ratio exceeds the set threshold, a restraint is applied to those
stages for which corresponding setting is applied to make them blocked in
inrush condition detection (“HV EF1 Inrush Block”, “HV EF2 Inrush Block” and
“HV EF Inv Inrush Block” on for HV side, “MV EF1 Inrush Block”, “MV EF2
Inrush Block” and “MV EF Inv Inrush Block” for MV side, “LV EF_1 Inrush
Detect ON”, “LV EF1 Inrush Block”, “LV EF2 Inrush Block” and “LV EF Inv
Inrush Block” for LV side).
Furthermore, if the fundamental component of each phase current exceeds

the upper limit value “HV Ratio_I2/I1”, “MV Ratio_I2/I1” or “LV Ratio_I2/I1”,
the inrush restraint will no longer effective in respective side, since a
high-current fault is assumed in this case.
122
The integrated directional function can be applied to each stage of earth fault
elements via Control words. The Control words include “HV EF1 Direction”,
“HV EF2 Direction” and “HV EF Inv Direction” on for HV side earth fault
stages, “MV EF1 Direction”, “MV EF2 Direction” and “MV EF Inv Direction” for
MV side earth fault stages and “LV EF1 Direction”, “LV EF2 Direction” and “LV
EF Inv Direction” for LV side earth fault stages.
Furthermore, the directional orientation can be set individually for each stage
of earth fault elements in various sides of the protected transformer. This can
be performed by Control words “HV EF1 Dir To Sys”, “HV EF2 Dir To Sys” and
“HV EF Inv Dir To Sys” for HV side, “MV EF1 Dir To Sys”, “MV EF2 Dir To Sys”
and “MV EF Inv Dir To Sys” for MV side, “LV EF1 Dir To Sys”, “LV EF2 Dir To
Sys” and “LV EF Inv Dir To Sys” for LV side. The possible settings for these
Control word comprise “0-toward transformer” and “1-toward system”.
Basically, the direction determination is performed by comparing the zero

sequence system quantities. In the current path, 3I0 current is calculated from
the sum of the three phase currents. In the voltage path, the device calculates
the zero sequence voltage 3V0 from the sum of the three phase voltages.
Contrary to the directional phase elements, which work with the un-faulted
voltage as reference voltage, the fault voltage itself is the reference voltage
for the directional ground element. Depending on the connection of the volt-
age transformer, this is the voltage 3V0 or VN. The directional element at
each side operates with the residual/ neutral voltage of the same side.
In order to satisfy different network conditions and applications, the reference

voltage can be rotated by an adjustable angle. For each side of the protected
transformer, the directional angle can be set independently. The settings in-
clude “HV Angle_EF”, “MV Angle_EF” and “LV Angle_EF”, for HV, MV and LV
sides, respectively. It should be noted that the settings affect all the directional
stages of the corresponding earth fault element.
NOTE: The direction mentioned above is based on that the positive polarities of
three phases CT. The voltage used by directional element is calculated by
three phase voltage. Details are shown as below.
Below figure shows an example of direction determination for a fault in phase

A. As can be seen from the figure, fault current 3I0 lags from fault voltage Va.
Accordingly, fault current -3I0 lags residual sequence voltage 3U0 by this
angle. The reference voltage 3U0 is rotated to be as close as possible to -3I0
current. Furthermore, the forward area is depicted in the figure.

circuit or broken wire in the voltage transformer's secondary system or an
operation of the voltage transformer fuse) may result in false or undesired
tripping by directional earth fault elements. In such a situation, it is possible to
select operation status of the directional earth fault protection elements in
each side by using a number of Control words to block the earth fault protec-
tion elements or keep them in operational state with no direction decision
(block direction decision). The Control words are designated as “Block HV EF
at HV VT_Fail”, “Block MV EF at HV VT_Fail” and “Block LV EF at HV
VT_Fail”, for HV, MV and LV sides, respectively. When the Control words are
set as 0 to select “Direct OK at VT Fail”, corresponding earth fault protection
elements will not judge direction at the local side VT failure. When they set as
1 to select “Block EF at VT Fail”, no operation is possible by the earth fault
protection elements. It is noted that the Control words affect all the stages of
corresponding earth fault elements at each side. For instance, by applying
setting “Block HV EF at HV VT_Fail” off, all the three stages of the earth fault
element will remain operative without direction determination in case of any
fault in secondary circuit of HV side voltage transformer. On the other hand,
setting “Block HV EF at HV VT_Fail” on makes them blocked.
It is possible to block earth fault protection elements in each side of the pro-
tected transformer if a CT fail is detected in the same side. This can be per-
formed by Control words “Block HV EF at HV CT_Fail”, “Blk MV EF at MV
CT_FAIL” and “Blk LV EF at LV CT FAIL” in each voltage side. If setting 1 is
applied to these Control words, any CT fail detection in a given side of the
power transformer would bring blocking condition to all stages of the earth
124
fault element which is applied in the same side.

It is possible to set whether the earth fault protection elements can initiate the
integrated CBF protection or not. The available choices depend on the volt-
age side of the power transformer at which earth fault protection is applied. In
this context, HV side earth fault protection element always initiates HV side
CBF function with no additional setting. However, it is possible to select
whether it can initiate MV and LV CBF protection functions via Control words
“HV EF Initiate LV CBF” and “HV EF Initiate MV CBF” on, respectively.
MV side earth fault protection element always initiates MV side CBF function
tiate HV side CBF protection function via Control word “MV EF Initiate HV1
CBF” on.
More detail information about the initiation conditions and related Control
words can be found in below table.

fault protection function.

1.1 Protection Elements
Each voltage side of the protected transformer is provided with three neutral
earth fault protection elements from which two elements operate as definite
earth fault stages and the other one operates with inverse time-current char-
acteristic. All the elements can operate in conjunction with the integrated in-
rush restraint and directional functions.
Various stages of each element are independent from each other and can be
dedicated Control words. These Control words include “HV Func_Neu OC1”,
“HV Func_Neu OC2” and “HV Func_Neu OC Inv”, for HV side earth fault
protection, “MV Func_Neu OC1”, “MV Func_Neu OC2” and “MV Func_Neu
OC Inv”, for MV side earth fault protection, “LV Func_Neu OC1”, “LV
Func_Neu OC2” and “LV Func_Neu OC Inv”, for LV side earth fault protection.
For example by applying setting “1-on” to “HV Func_Neu OC1”, respective
stage of neutral earth fault protection would be enabled in HV side.
3I0_Neutral OC1” and “HV 3I0_Neutral OC2” for HV side, “MV 3I0_Neutral
OC1” and “MV 3I0_Neutral OC2” for MV side, “LV 3I0_Neutral OC1” and “LV
3I0_Neutral OC2” for LV side. By applying these settings, each neutral current
(quantity IN) measured from the installed neutral CT is compared separately
with the setting value for each stage. If the respective value is exceeded, a
trip time delay timer is started. The condition for start of the delay timer is ex-
pressed mathematically:
I N  I N _ set
Equation 44
be set for each definite stage individually through settings “HV T_Neutral
OC1” and “HV T_Neutral OC2” for HV side, “MV T_Neutral OC1” and “MV
T_Neutral OC2” for MV side, “LV T_Neutral OC1” and “LV T_Neutral OC2”
for LV side. After the user-defined time delay has been elapsed, a trip signal is
issued if the inrush restraint feature is applied and no inrush current is de-
tected or inrush restraint is disabled. The neutral earth fault protection would
be blocked and therefore, no tripping takes place if the inrush restraint feature
is enabled and an inrush condition exists. However, an alarm report is issued
nominated as “HV Inrush Blk BU”, “MV Inrush Blk BU” or “LV Inrush Blk BU”,
indicating the blocking condition of neutral earth fault element caused by in-
rush condition detection.
Pickup value for the inverse time-current stage can be set by setting “HV
3I0_NOC Inv”, “MV 3I0_NOC Inv” and “LV 3I0_NOC Inv” for HV, MV and LV
sides, respectively. Each neutral current (quantity IN) measured by installed
neutral CT is separately compared with corresponding setting value. If a cur-
rent exceeds 1.1 times the setting value, corresponding stage picks up. When
an inverse time-current stage picks up, the tripping time is calculated from the
138
measured quantity IN, using the selected tripping curve. Maximum tripping
time is limited to 100s.
For Time-inverse characteristic, the pickup value can be defined by setting

“3I0_NOC Inv”. The measured zero sequence current is compared with cor-
responding setting value. If it exceeds the setting, related signal will be re-
ported and the tripping time is calculated according to the pre-defined char-
acteristic. The tripping curve can be set as IEC or ANSI standard curves or
any user-defined characteristic by following tripping time equation.

Where I is the calculated neutral current;
where:

B_ NOC Inv: Time delay for inverse time stage

K_ NOC Inv: Time multiplier
As mentioned previously, selection between the curves can be carried out by

settings “HV Curve_NOC Inv”, “MV Curve_NOC Inv” and “LV Curve_NOC
Inv” for HV, MV and LV sides, respectively. Furthermore, the time multiplier
K_NOC Inv can be applied by user to coordinate the integrated inverse
time-current characteristic of the device with other relays installed for power
system protection. This can be performed by settings “HV K_NOC Inv”, “MV
K_NOC Inv” and “LV K_NOC Inv” in case of HV, MV and LV neutral earth fault
elements.
By applying pickup current and time multiplier settings, the device determines
the tripping time from the measured neutral current, based on the selected
inverse curve. Once the calculated time has been elapsed, a trip signal is
issued provided that no inrush current is detected or inrush restraint is disa-
bled. If the inrush restraint feature is enabled and an inrush condition exists,
the neutral earth fault protection would be blocked and therefore no tripping
takes place. However, alarm report of “HV Inrush Blk BU”, “MV Inrush Blk BU”
or “LV Inrush Blk BU” is issued, indicating the blocking condition of neutral
earth fault element caused by inrush condition detection.

Neu OC IDMTL” for HV side, “MV Neu OC_1 Trip”, “MV Neu OC_2 Trip” and
“MV Neu OC IDMTL” for MV side, “LV Neu OC_1 Trip”, “LV Neu OC_1 Trip”
and “LV Neu OC IDMTL” for LV side neutral earth fault elements.

The transformer neutral earth fault protection may detect large magnetizing
inrush currents flowing when transformer is energized. The inrush current
may be several times of the nominal current, and may last from several tens
of milliseconds to several seconds.
Inrush current comprises second harmonic as well as a considerable funda-

mental component. So, it may affect neutral earth fault protection which op-
erates based on the fundamental component of the measured current. Inrush
blocking unit in neutral earth fault function is provided for this purpose.
It is possible to apply the inrush restraint feature separately to each definite

stage and inverse time-current stage of earth fault element by using Control
words “HV Neu OC1 Inrush Block”, “HV Neu OC2 Inrush Block” and “HV Neu
OC Inv Inrush Block” on for HV side, “MV Neu OC1 Inrush Block”, “MV Neu
OC2 Inrush Block” and “MV Neu OC Inv Inrush Block” on for MV side, “LV
Neu OC1 Inrush Block”, “LV Neu OC2 Inrush Block” and “LV Neu OC Inv In-
rush Block” on for LV side. By applying setting “1-on” to each of the men-
tioned Control words, no trip command would be possible by corresponding
stage, if an inrush condition is detected.
Since the inrush current contains a relatively large second harmonic compo-
nent which is nearly absent during a fault current, the inrush restraint oper-
ates based on the evaluation of the second harmonic content which is present
in the measured neutral current (quantity IN), or in the phase currents, based
on setting. The inrush condition is recognized if the ratio of second harmonic
current to the fundamental component exceeds the setting value “HV Ra-
tio_I2/I1_NOC”, “MV Ratio_I2/I1_NOC” or “LV Ratio_I2/I1_NOC” in the
measured neutral current. The setting is applicable to both the definite stages
of neutral earth fault protection element as well as the inverse time-current
stage. As soon as the measured ratio exceeds the set threshold, a restraint is
applied to those stages for which corresponding setting is applied to make
them blocked in inrush condition detection (“HV Neu OC1 Inrush Block”, “HV
Neu OC2 Inrush Block” and “HV Neu OC Inv Inrush Block” for HV side, “MV
Neu OC1 Inrush Block”, “MV Neu OC2 Inrush Block” and “MV Neu OC Inv
Inrush Block” for MV side, “LV Neu OC1 Inrush Block”, “LV Neu OC2 Inrush
Block” and “LV Neu OC Inv Inrush Block” for LV side).
Furthermore, if the fundamental component of the measured neutral current

exceeds the upper limit value “HV Imax_2H_UnBlk_NOC”, “MV
Imax_2H_UnBlk_NOC” or “LV Imax_2H_UnBlk_NOC”, the inrush restraint
will no longer effective in respective side, since a high-current fault is as-
sumed in this case.

The integrated directional function can be applied to each stage of neutral
earth fault elements via Control words. The Control words include “HV Neu
OC1 Direction”, “HV Neu OC2 Direction” and “HV Neu OC Inv Direction” on
for HV side earth fault stages, “MV Neu OC1 Direction”, “MV Neu OC2 Direc-
tion” and “MV Neu OC Inv Direction” for MV side earth fault stages and “LV
Neu OC1 Direction”, “LV Neu OC2 Direction” and “LV Neu OC Inv Direction”
for LV side earth fault stages.
140
Furthermore, the directional orientation can be set individually for each stage
of neutral earth fault elements in various sides of the protected transformer.
This can be performed by Control words “HV Neu OC1 Dir To Sys”, “HV Neu
OC2 Dir To Sys” and “HV Neu OC Inv Dir To Sys” for HV side, “MV Neu OC1
Dir To Sys”, “MV Neu OC2 Dir To Sys” and “MV Neu OC Inv Dir To Sys” for
MV side, “LV Neu OC1 Dir To Sys”, “LV Neu OC2 Dir To Sys” and “LV Neu OC
Inv Dir To Sys” for LV side. The possible settings for these Control word
comprise “0-toward transformer” and “1-toward system”.
Basically, the direction determination is performed by comparing the zero

sequence system quantities. In the current path, 3I0 current is measured from
the neutral CT installed at the transformer starpoint. In the voltage path, the
device calculates the zero sequence voltage 3V0 from the sum of the three
phase voltages. Contrary to the directional phase elements, which work with
the un-faulted voltage as reference voltage, in this application, the fault volt-
age itself is the reference voltage. Depending on the connection of the volt-
age transformer, this is the voltage 3V0 or VN. The directional element at
each side operates with the residual/ neutral voltage of the same side.
In order to satisfy different network conditions and applications, the reference

voltage can be rotated by an adjustable angle. For each side of the protected
transformer, the directional angle can be set independently. The settings in-
clude “HV Angle_NOC”, “MV Angle_NOC” and “LV Angle_NOC”, for HV, MV
and LV sides, respectively. It should be noted that the settings affect all the
directional stages of the corresponding neutral earth fault element.

circuit or broken wire in the voltage transformer's secondary system or an
operation of the voltage transformer fuse) may result in false or undesired
141
tripping by directional neutral earth fault elements. In such a situation, it is

possible to select operation status of the directional neutral earth fault pro-
tection elements in each side by using a number of Control words to block the
neutral earth fault protection elements or keep them in operational state with
no direction decision (block direction decision). The Control words are des-
ignated as “Block HV NOC at HV VT_Fail”, “Block MV NOC at HV VT_Fail”
and “Block LV NOC at HV VT_Fail”, for HV, MV and LV sides, respectively.
When the Control words are set as 0 to select “Direct OK at VT Fail”, corre-
sponding neutral earth fault protection elements will not judge direction at the
local side VT failure. When they set as 1 to select “Blk NEU OC at VT Fail”, no
operation is possible by the neutral earth fault protection elements. It is noted
that the Control words affect all the stages of corresponding neutral earth fault
elements at each side. For instance, by applying setting “Block HV NOC at
HV VT_Fail” off, all the three stages of the neutral earth fault element will
remain operative without direction determination in case of any fault in sec-
ondary circuit of HV side voltage transformer. On the other hand, setting
“Block HV NOC at HV VT_Fail” on makes them blocked.

It is possible to set whether the neutral earth fault protection elements can in-
itiate the integrated CBF protection or not. The available choices depend on
the voltage side of the power transformer at which neutral earth fault protec-
142
tion is applied. In this context, HV side neutral earth fault protection element
always initiates HV side CBF function with no additional setting. However, it is
possible to select whether it can initiate MV and LV CBF protection functions
via Control words “HV Neu OC Init LV CBF” and “HV Neu OC Init MV CBF”,
respectively.
MV side neutral earth fault protection element always initiates MV side CBF
function with no additional setting.

1 Introduction
The insulating material surrounding the transformer windings ages rapidly if
the temperature exceeds the design limit value. Furthermore, by using less
and less metal per MVA of transformed power, the designed limit value is
reduced in modern power transformers. Hence, it represents an essential
requirement to provide thermal protection to supplement the winding temper-
ature device. The thermal overload protection estimates winding temperature
and therefore prevents damage to transformer caused by thermal overload-
ing.
The thermal overload protection includes two stages (alarm and trip). They
work by using an approximate replica of the temperature rise in the protected
object caused by overload. The thermal replica is implemented based on
thermal models (Cold / Hot Curve) of IEC60255-8 Std., without ambient
temperature influence.
Both of the alarm and trip stages can be enabled or disabled by using Control
word “HV Func_Thermal OvLd”, “MV Func_Thermal OvLd” or “LV
Func_Thermal OvLd” on. The thermal overload protection can be assigned to
any desired side (HV, MV or LV) of the protected object. However, for trans-
formers with tap changer, it is recommended to use the function on the
non-regulated side. To enable the protection on each side, setting of “1-on”
should be applied to corresponding Control word.
Both of the thermal overload stages can use cold curve or hot curve in their
calculations, based on the setting applied at Control word “HV Cold Curve”,
“MV Cold Curve” or “LV Cold Curve”. If the protection is enabled in one side,
and the measured current in each phase of the protected transformer in cor-
responding side exceeds the threshold defined by setting “HV I_Therm OL
Alarm”, “MV I_Therm OL Alarm” or “LV I_Therm OL Alarm”, a counter is in-
cremented from 0% to 100%. When the counter is accumulated to its alarm
setting which correspond to the expiration of alarm time delay according to
the selected cold/hot characteristic, the alarm report “HV Load Alarm”, “MV
Load Alarm” or “LV Load Alarm” is given to allow a preventive load reduction.
The alarm signal is cancelled as soon as the measured phase current falls
below the threshold defined by setting “HV I_Therm OL Alarm”, “MV I_Therm
OL Alarm” or “LV I_Therm OL Alarm”. However, the counter is decremented to
zero according to cool down time of the transformer (the time by which the
thermal replica counter reaches from 100% to 0%). The cool down time is
informed to the device by setting “HV T_Const Cool Down”, “MV T_Const
Cool Down” and “LV T_Const Cool Down”.
Similarly, if the measured current in each phase of the protected transformer

in corresponding side exceeds the threshold defined by setting “HV I_Therm
OL Trip”, “MV I_Therm OL Trip” or “LV I_Therm OL Trip”, a counter is incre-
mented from 0% to 100%. If the counter reaches to 100% corresponding to
expiration of trip time delay according to the selected cold/hot characteristic,
the event report “HV THERM Trip”, “MV THERM Trip” or “LV THERM Trip” is
given. The alarm signal is cancelled as soon as the measured phase current
154
falls below the threshold defined by setting “HV I_Therm OL Trip”, “MV
I_Therm OL Trip” or “LV I_Therm OL Trip”. However, the counter is decre-
mented to zero according to cool down time of the transformer which is en-
tered into the device by setting “HV T_Const Cool Down”, “MV T_Const Cool
Down” and “LV T_Const Cool Down”.
The cold and hot curves used in each thermal overload stages, is based on
thermal curves defined in IEC 60255-8 Std.
The curves provide an operating current/time characteristic that corresponds

to the current overload characteristic of the transformer windings. The for-
mulas corresponding to cold and hot curve is denoted by (1-46) and (1-47),
respectively. The cold curve provides no memory regarding to previous
thermal condition of the transformer, whereas, by using the hot curve, the
protection function is able to represent a memorized thermal profile of the
protected transformer.

Where,
t is alarm/trip time of thermal overload protection function in seconds,
τ is thermal time constant of heating for the power transformer, in seconds. It

is usually provided by the manufacturer. The device is informed about it by
settings “HV T_Const Therm”, “MV T_Const Therm” and “H\LV T_Const
Therm”.
Iph is the current flowing through corresponding side of the transformer, in

each phase. It means that the calculation is performed separately for each
phase, based on fundamental component measurement and also includes
the effect of harmonic contents up to 7th harmonic. Thus, the minimum cal-
culated alarm/ trip time is decisive for evaluation of the thresholds.
IΘ is the setting for alarm and trip stages of the thermal overload protection, in
rms. It should be set considering the maximum permissible thermal continu-
ous overload current of the transformer windings and insulations. The setting
is applied by using “HV I_Therm OL Alarm” and “HV I_Therm OL Trip” for HV
side, “MV I_Therm OL Alarm” and “HV I_Therm OL Trip” for MV side, and
“H\LV I_Therm OL Alarm” and “HV I_Therm OL Trip” for LV side of the power
transformer.
IP is the prior current to overload, assuming sufficient time to reach

steady-state temperature.
155
NOTE: When Control word “xx Curve/Hot Curve” is set to 0, and fundamental
current is less than the settings, and the heat accumulation is cleared and set
as “0” automatically.

signals, parameter, IED report and technical data used for over-
voltage protection.

1 Introduction
Voltage protection has the function to protect electrical equipment against
overvoltage condition. Abnormally high voltages often occur e.g. in low
loaded, long distance transmission lines, in islanded systems when generator
voltage regulation fails, or after full load shutdown of a generator from the
system. Even if compensation reactors are used to avoid line overvoltage by
compensation of the line capacitance and thus reduction of the overvoltage,
the overvoltage will endanger the insulation if the reactors fail (e.g. fault
clearance). The line must be disconnected within very short time.
The protection provides the following features:
 Two definite time stages
 Each stage can be set to alarm or trip
 Measuring voltage between phase-earth voltage and phase-phase (se-

lectable)
 Settable dropout ratio
2.1 Phase to earth overvoltage protection
All the three phase voltages are measured continuously, and compared with
the corresponding setting value. If a phase voltage exceeds the set thresh-
olds, “HV U_OV1” or “HV U_OV2” for HV said, “MV U_OV1” or “MV U_OV2”
for MV said, after expiry of the time delays, “HV T_OV1’ or “HV T_OV2”, and
“MV T_OV1’ or “MV T_OV2”, the protection IED will issue alarm signal or trip
command according to the user’s requirement.
There are two stages included in overvoltage protection, each stage can be
set to alarm or trip separately in control word, and the time delay for each
stage can be individually set. Thus, the alarming or tripping can be
time-coordinated based on how severe the voltage increase, e.g. in case of
high overvoltage, the trip command will be issued with a short time delay,
whereas for the less severe overvoltage, trip or alarm signal can be issued
with a longer time delay.
168
Additionaly, the dropout ratio of the overvoltage protection can be set in set-
ting “Dropout_OV”. Therefore, the trip command of overvoltage is reset if the
measured voltage comes bellow the ratio value mentioned in this setting.
2.2 Phase to phase overvlotage protection
The phase to earth overvoltage protection operates just like the phase to
phase protection except that it detects phase to earth voltages.

signals, parameter, IED report and technical data used for un-

175
1 Introduction
Undervoltage protection has the function to protect electrical equipment
against undervoltage condition. It can detect voltage collapses on transmis-
sion lines, power transformer and electrical machines and prevents inadmis-
sible operation condition and a possible stability problem.
The protection provides following features:
 Two definite time stages
 Each stage can be set to alarm or trip
 Measuring voltage between phase-earth and phase-phase voltage se-

lectable
 Current criteria supervision
 Circuit breaker aux. contact supervision
 VT secondary circuit supervision, the undervoltage function will be

blocked when VT failure happens
 Settable dropout ratio
2.1 Phase to phase underovltage protection
All the three phase voltages are measured continuously, and compared with
the corresponding setting value. If phase to phase voltage falls below the set
threshold and after expiry of the time delay, the protection IED will issue
alarm signal or trip command according to the user’s requirement.
There are two stages included in undervoltage protection, each stage can be
set to alarm or trip separately in control word, and the time delay for each
stage can be individually set. Thus, the alarming or tripping can be
time-coordinated based on how severe the voltage collapse, e.g. in case of
severe undervoltage happens, the trip command will be issued with a short
time delay, whereas for the less severe undervoltage, trip or alarm signal can
be issued with a longer time delay.
176
Furthermore, for the undervoltage protection, it is possible to set the IED to

operate either when all the measured phase-to-earth or phase-to-phase
voltages falls below the setting or when at least one of the phase-to-earth or
phase-to-phase voltage falls below the respective setting, which can be set in
control word.
2.2 Phase to earth undervoltage protection
The phase to earth undervoltage protection operates just like the phase to
phase protection except that it detects phase to earth voltages.

About this chapter

This chapter introduced the protection principle, input and output
of signals, logic diagrams, device report and technical data of
zero-sequence voltage protection.

1 Overview
The supervision of zero-sequence voltage is required to detect earth fault in
power system in some occasion. This function is generally spplied in the
system to restrict the zero-sequence current.
The function has following features.
 Two stages of definite time;
 Each stage can be set as alarm or tripping;
 Fault phase judgement;
 Zero-sequence voltage 3U0 is from internal calculation or external input.
Zero-sequence voltage protection is used in the earth fualt detection and di-
recrion discrimination. More details on zero-sequence voltage direction de-
scrimination are shown in other chapters. The stage one is included in the
zero-sequence voltage protection to detect earth fault. This stage can be set
as alarm or tripping and can be set via control word “3U0_Neu Disp Trip/
3U0_Neu Disp Alm”.
Compare the zero-sequence voltage from internal calculation and external

input with the corresponding setting value, the tripping or alarm time delay
counter starts if the zero-sequence voltage is greater than the setting value.
The time delay is set by users. The setting value of time delay can be set
separately by “LV T_Neu Disp Alm” and “LV T_Neu Disp Trip”. The tripping
order or alarming signal will be given by the protection device when reaching
time delay defined by user.

Chapter 15 Circuit breaker failure protection
1 Introduction
The circuit breaker failure (CBF) protection function monitors proper tripping
of the relevant circuit breaker. There are two separate CBF protection inte-
grated in the IED. They are dedicated to HV and MV sides of the protected
transformer.
Normally, the circuit breaker should be tripped and therefore interrupt the fault
current whenever a short circuit protection function issues a trip command.
The circuit breaker failure protection provides rapid back-up fault clearance,
in the event of circuit breaker malfunction to respond to a trip command. This
feature can be enabled or disabled at each side of the protected transformer
via Control words “HV1 CBF ON”, “MV CBF ON”. If setting “1-On” is applied
at these Control words, respective CBF protection will be switched on. In this
case, by operation of a protection function, and subsequent CBF initiation by
respective protection function, a report nominated as “HV1 CBF INIT” or “MV
CBF INIT” is generated by the IED. Furthermore, CBF initiation causes a
programmed timer to run toward a preset time delay limit. This time delay is
set by user under the settings “HV1 T1_CBF” or “MV1 T1_CBF”. If the circuit
breaker has not been opened after expiration of the preset time limit, the cir-
cuit breaker failure protection issues a command to trip circuit breaker (e.g.
via a second trip coil). Furthermore, event report of “HV1 CBF T1” or “MV
CBF T1”is generated by the device. If the circuit breaker doesn’t respond to
the repeated trip command, until another preset delay time which is set at
“HV1 T2_CBF” or “MV1 T2_CBF”, the protection issues a trip command to
isolate the fault by tripping other surrounding backup circuit breakers (e.g. the
other CBs connected to the same bus section as the faulty CB). Furthermore,
event report of “HV1 CBF T2” or “MV CBF T2” is generated in this case.
Initiation of CBF protection can be carried out by both the internal and exter-
nal protection functions. If it is desired to initiate the CBF protection by means
of external protection functions, they should be marshaled to Binary input (BI)
of “HV1 CBF EXT. INT” or “MV CBF EXT. INT” for HV or MV CBF protection
respectively. Internal protection functions can initiate the CBF protection in-
tegrated in IED (HV and/or MV CBF), according to the mapping shown in
below table.

In above table,
● :means that the protection function working at a given side of the protected
transformer always initiate the CBF protection applied in specified side of the
power transformer. As can be seen, differential, restricted earth fault and
overexcitation protection functions initiate CBF protection in each side of
protected transformer with no additional settings.
The statement CW [0/1] means that the protection function can initiate CBF
protection according to the setting which is applied at respective control word.
The setting includes “1: Initiate the CBF” and “0: Don’t initiate the CBF”. Re-
lated Control words are available for specific functions which include thermal
overload, overcurrent, earth fault and neutral earth fault protections. Fur-
thermore, the dash sign means that it is not possible to initiate CBF protection
of respective side by operation of a protection function working at a given side
of the protected transformer.
There are two criteria for breaker failure detection: the first one is to check
whether the actual current flow effectively disappeared after a tripping com-
mand had been issued. The second one is to evaluate the circuit breaker
auxiliary contact status. Since circuit breaker is supposed to be open when
current disappears from the circuit, the first criterion (current monitoring) is
the most reliable means for relay to be informed about proper operation of
circuit breaker. Therefore, current monitoring is applied to detect circuit
breaker failure condition. In this context, the monitored current of each phase
is compared with the pre-defined setting. The settings are applied at “HV1
I_CBF OC” or “MV I_CBF OC”, for HV or MV CBF protection.
Furthermore, it is possible to implement current checking in case of ze-

ro-sequence and negative-sequence currents via Control word “HV1 3I0/3I2
Check On”, “MV1 3I0/3I2 Check On”. If setting “1-On” is applied at these
Control words, zero-sequence and negative-sequence currents are calculat-
ed and compared with user-defined settings. Corresponding

settings include “HV 3I0_CBF ZS” and “MV 3I0_CBF ZS” for zero-sequence
current, and “HV 3I2_CBF NS” and “MV 3I2_CBF NS” for negative-sequence
current.
192
For protection functions where the tripping criterion is not dependent on cur-
rent, current flow is not a suitable criterion for proper operation of the breaker.
In this case, the position of the circuit breaker auxiliary contact should be
used to determine if the circuit breaker properly operated. It is possible to
evaluate the circuit breaker operation from its auxiliary contact status. To do
so, Control words “HV1 CB Status Check On” or “MV CB Status Check On”
should be set to “1-On” to integrate circuit breaker auxiliary contacts into CBF
function..
It should be noted that evaluation of circuit breaker auxiliary contacts is car-

ried out in CBF function only when the current flow monitoring has not picked
up. Once the current flow criterion has picked up during the running time of
CBF timers, the circuit breaker is assumed to be open as soon as the current
disappears, even if the associated auxiliary contacts don’t indicate that the
circuit breaker has opened. This gives preference to the more reliable current
criterion and avoids over functioning due to a defect e.g. in the auxiliary con-
tact mechanism or circuit.

signals, parameter, IED report and technical data used for dead
zone (short zone) protection function.
201
1 Introduction
The IED provides this protection function to protect dead zone, namely the
area between circuit breaker and CT in the case that CB is open. Therefore,
by occurrence of a fault in dead zone, the short circuit current is measured by
protection relay while CB auxiliary contacts indicate the CB is open.
 Internal/ external initiation
 Self-adaptive for bus side CT or line side CT
When one bus side CT of feeder is applied, once a fault occurs in the dead
zone, the IED trips the relevant busbar zone. Tripping logic is illustrated in
below figure.
In the case of feeders with bus side CTs, once a fault occurs in the dead zone,
the IED trips the relevant busbar zone CBs. Tripping concept is illustrated in
the below figure.

207
1 Introduction
The stub protection protects the zone between the CTs and the open dis-
connector. The stub protection is enabled when the open position of the dis-
connector is informed to the IED through connected binary input. The function
supports one definite stage with the logic shown inbelow figure.

Figure 75 Stub fault at circuit breaker arrangement
If IED detects short circuit current flowing while the line disconnector is open,
stub fault is detected for the short circuit in the area between the current
transformers and the line disconnector. Here, the summation of CT1 and CT3
presents the short circuit current.
208
The stub protection is an overcurrent protection which is only in service if the

status of the line disconnector indicates the open condition. The binary input
must therefore be informed via an auxiliary contact of the disconnector. In the
case of a closed line disconnector, the stub protection is out of service. The
stub protection stage provides one definite time overcurrent stage with setta-
ble delay time. This protection function can be enabled or disabled via the
control word “Func_STUB”. Corresponding current setting value can be in-
serted in “I_STUB” setting. The IED generate trip command whenever the
time setting “T_STUB” is elapsed.

1 Introdcution
Under normal operating condition, all three poles of the circuit breaker must
be closed or open at the same time. The phase separated operating circuit
breakers can be in different positions (close-open) due to electrical or me-
chanical failures. This can cause negative and zero sequence currents which
gives thermal stress on rotating machines and can cause unwanted operation
of zero sequence or negative sequence current functions.
Single pole opening of the circuit breaker is permitted only in the short period
related to single pole dead times, otherwise the breaker is tripped three pole
to resolve the problem. If the problem still remains, the remote end can be
intertripped via circuit breaker failure protection function to clear the unsym-
metrical load situation.
The pole discordance function operates based on information from auxiliary

contacts of the circuit breaker for the three phases with additional criteria from
unsymmetrical phase current.
2.1 Function description
The CB position signals are connected to IED via binary input in order to
monitor the CB status. Poles discordance condition is established when con-
trol word “HV Func_PD” for HV said, or “MV Func_PD” for MV said is set to
“1/on”, and at least one pole is open and at the same time not all three poles
are closed. The auxiliary contacts of the circuit breakers are checked with
corresponding phase currents for plausibility check. Error alarm “CB Err Blk
PD” is reported after 5 sec whenever CB auxiliary contacts indicate that one
pole is open but at the same time current is flowing through the pole.
Additionally the function can be informed via control word “HV PD Chk
3I0/3I2” and “MV PD Chk 3I0/3I2”for additionaly zero and negative sequence
current as well as current criteria involved in CBF protection. Pole discord-
ance can be detected when current is not flowing through all three poles.
When current is flowing through all three poles, all three poles must be closed
even if the breaker auxiliary contacts indicate a different status.

signals, parameter, IED report and technical data of distance
protection.
221
1 Introduction
The sub-transmission lines are extended, including lots of branches and dif-
ferent distance lines, so the situations are complicated. This kind of system
has higher requirement for fault isolating, in order to sustain the stability and
safety of power system.
The configuration of distance protection can meet basic requirements of

transformer and transmission line.
2.1 Frunction description
Phase-to-phase distance protection has two stages. Each of them can be
enabled or disabled speartely and time delay of each stage are setable. The
calculation of phase-to-phase distance is on the bisis of three-phase current
and three-phase-voltage. The equation is shown below:
 U A  U B
Z AB  
 I A  I B
 U B  U C

Z BC  
 I B  IC
  
Z CA  U C  U A
 IC  I A
Equation 48
Where, ZAB, ZBC, ZCA: phase-to-phase impendance.
Phase-to-earth disace has one stage; setting and time delay are settable. The
calcuation of phase-to-earth is shown below:
U 
Z  
I  K  3I
 0
Equation 49
Where: U  ：Phase-to-earth voltage（   A, B, C ）

；
I ：Phase current（   A, B, C ）

；
K：Zero sequence current compensation factor.
When VT failure happens, the distance protection will be blocked, in order to

prevent misoperation.
222
Direction to system Direction to transformer
Figure 80 Distance protection characteristic
The direction of distance can be selected by control word setting. For exam-
ple, if the control word ‘
For example, for phase-to-phase distance, if control word “DIS_1 DIR TO

SYS” is set 1, it means direction for 1st stage phase-to-phase distance is to
system; and setting is set 0, it means direction to transformer. It is same to
phase to earth distance.
2.2 Auxiliary startup element

In order to avoid unwanted operation of distance protection and to insure
correct operation when phase-to-phase fault and phase-to-earth fault occur.
Auxiliary startup elements including negative current element and abrupt
current element are adopted.
Auxiliary abrupt current startup element
When all kinds of faults occur in the protected section, current in HV or MV

side will be abrupt change. Abrupt current startup element is adopted in dis-
tance protection; the formula is as follows:
i   0.2 I N


i   i  (t )  i  (t  n)  2i  (t  2n)

Equation 50
Where i  - abrupt current startup element
● Auxiliary negative current startup element
When the imbalance fault occurs in the protected section, negative current
223
occurs at the same time. Using negative current is helpful to detect the im-
balance faults. the formula is as follows:
I 2  0.2I ie ( i  h, m )
Equation 51
Where I ie - rated current of HV or MV side.
Phase-to-phase distance and phase-to-earth distance have same logic.

1 VT failure supervision function

In the event of a measured voltage failure due to a broken conductor or a
short circuit fault in the secondary circuit of voltage transformer, those protec-
tion functions which work based on voltage criteria may mistakenly see a
voltage of zero. VT failure supervision function is provided to inform those
functions about a voltage failure.
2 Function principle
VT failure supervision function can be enabled or disabled in each side
through Control word “HV VT Fail Detect”, “MV VT Fail Detect” and “LV VT
Fail Detect”. By applying setting “1-On” to these Control words, respective VT
failure supervision function would monitor the voltage transformer circuit of
corresponding side. Each VT failure supervision function is able to detect
single-phase broken, two-phase broken or three-phase broken faults in re-
spective voltage transformer. There are three main criteria for VT failure de-
tection; from them the first one is dedicated to detect three-phase broken
faults. The second and third one is dedicated to detect single or two-phase
broken faults in solid earthed and isolated/resistance earthed systems, re-
spectively. A precondition to meet these three criteria is that the relay should
not be picked up and the calculated zero sequence and negative sequence
currents should be less than setting of “HV I_VT Fail”, “MV I_VT Fail” or “LV
I_VT Fail”. These criteria are as follows:
The calculated zero sequence voltage 3U0 as well as maximum of three

phase-to-earth voltages of respective side of the protected transformer are
less than the setting of “HV Upe_VT Fail”, “MV Upe_VT Fail” or “LV Upe_VT
Fail” and at the same time, maximum of three phase currents of respective
side is higher than setting of “HV I_VT Fail”, “MV I_VT Fail” or “LV I_VT Fail”.
This condition may correspond to three phase broken fault in secondary cir-
cuit of the voltage transformer in respective side of the protected transformer.
The calculated zero sequence voltage 3U0 of respective side of the protected
transformer is more than the setting of “HV Upe_VT Fail”, “MV Upe_VT Fail”
or “LV Upe_VT Fail”. This condition may correspond to single or two-phase
broken fault in secondary circuit of the voltage transformer in respective side
of the protected transformer, if the system starpoint is solidly earthed.
The calculated zero sequence voltage 3U0 of respective side of the protected
transformer is more than the setting of “HV Upe_VT Fail”, “MV Upe_VT Fail”
or “LV Upe_VT Fail”, and at the same time, the difference between the max-
imum and minimum phase-to-phase voltages of respective side is more than
the setting of “HV Upp_VT Fail”, “MV Upp_VT Fail” or “LV Upp_VT Fail”. This
condition may correspond to single or two-phase broken fault in secondary
circuit of the voltage transformer in respective side of the protected trans-
former, if the system starpoint is isolated or resistance earthed.
In addition to the mentioned conditions, the device has the capability to be

informed about the VT MCB failure through its binary inputs. These inputs in-
230
clude “HV MCB FAIL BI”, “MV MCB FAIL BI” and “LV MCB FAIL BI”. In this
context, VT fail is detected in corresponding side, if the respective binary in-
puts are active.
If VT failure supervision detects a failure in voltage transformer secondary

circuit, either by means of the above mentioned criteria or reception of a VT
MCB fail indication, all the protection functions which operate based on di-
rection determination would be blocked in corresponding side of the protected
transformer, depending on the setting. Furthermore, an alarm report of “HV
VT Fail”, “MV VT Fail” or “LV VT Fail”, is issued after 10s delay time. The
blocking condition would be removed if one of the following conditions is met
within the 10s delay time.
Minimum phase voltage of corresponding side of the protected transformer

becomes more than setting of “HV Upe_VT Normal”, “MV Upe_VT Normal” or
“LV Upe_VT Normal” for 500ms.
Minimum phase voltage of corresponding side becomes more than setting of

“HV Upe_VT Normal”, “MV Upe_VT Normal” or “LV Upe_VT Normal” and at
the same time, the calculated zero sequence and negative sequence current
of corresponding side becomes more than the setting of “HV 3I02_VT Fail”,
“MV 3I02_VT Fail” or “LV 3I02_VT Fail”.
Subsequent to reporting VT fail alarm, the blocking condition of respective

protection functions would be removed if the minimum phase voltage of cor-
responding side becomes more than the setting of “HV Upe_VT Normal”, “MV
Upe_VT Normal” or “LV Upe_VT Normal” for a duration more than 10s.

1 Introduction
Two special binary inputs (BI_Config1, BI_Config2) are provided which can
be used to activate respective binary outputs (BO1 and BO2), according to
the setting applied at Control words “BI1 Enable BO1” and “BI2 Enable BO2”.
By applying setting “1-enable” to these Control words, BO1 will be activated if
BI1 is energized. Similarly, BO2 will be activated if BI2 is energized. Fur-
thermore, 7th LED in front plate of the device would be lighted when BO1 or
BO2 is activated.
2 Function principle
The external BIs can be used in conjunction with the mechanical protections
of the protected transformer (such as Buchholz, Winding temperature, and so
on). In this context, trip commands of the main and backup mechanical pro-
tections can be marshaled to BI1 and BI2, respectively. By doing so, the
output trip commands would be provided at BO1 and BO2 respectively.
Since the trip command of mechanical protection has latched nature, two
operating modes are provided for the Bos activation. The operating modes
include direct and pulse tripping modes. In direct tripping mode, each BO
contact is active as long as respective BI is energized, and after BI disap-
pearance 20ms the BO contacts are deactivated. Whereas in pulse tripping
mode, by each up-edge of BI, respective BO contacts remain active during a
settable pulse time, and after the settable time, the BO contacts are inactive.
The tripping modes can be selected for the BOs by Control words “BO1 Pulse
Tripping” and “BO2 Pulse Tripping”. Pulse tripping mode would be possible if
setting “1-Pulse Tripping” is applied to the Control words. Similarly, setting
“0-Direct Tripping” activates direct tripping mode for respective BOs. The
logic is shown in below figure.

Furthermore, it is possible to set BIs to initiate CBF protection in HV, MV or LV

sides of protected transformer via a number of Control words. The Control
words include “BI1 Init HV CBF”, “BI1 Init MV CBF” and “BI1 Init LV CBF” on
for the first BI. Similarly, Control words “BI2 Init HV CBF”, “BI2 Init MV CBF”
and “BI2 Init LV CBF” correspond to the second BI.
3 BI Trigger Record
In the IED, it is possible for Binary inputs (BIs) to trigger disturbance record
(DR). The exceptions are “Switch SetGroup”, “Blk Rem Access”, “Relay Test”
and “Reset”. In this context, each Binary input can be set independently
whether it can trigger DR or not. Further, it is possible to set whether BI trig-
gers DR in its up or down edge. Example logic of BI “HV CB Open Status”
triggering DR is given in below figure. The same logic is applied for the other
BIs.

4 BI Switch SetGroup
BI “Switch SetGroup” is used to switch setting group of the device. Both “BI
SetGrp Switch”and “Normal Set Switch” are selected by making change in the
content of special Control word “BI SetGrp Switch” which can be set under
“Common Para” submenu. When the Control word is set to 1, BI setting group
switch mode is applied, on the contrary, Normal setting group switch mode
(shortcut key or operate through the menu) is applied. For “BI SetGrp Switch”
mode, When BI “Switch SetGroup” is deactivated, the content of Control word
“BI SetGrp Switch” is set to 0 and it means that no switching in setting groups
239
is desired. In this case, Group 1 is applied to the device. When the BI is ac-
tivated, the content of Control word “BI SetGrp Switch” is set to 1 and it
means that “BI SetGrp Switch” mode is applied. Thus, the current set-
ting-value would automatically be switched to Group 2. For the other switch
mode, whether the BI is activated or not, setting group change is valid for
shortcut key or operate through the menu.
5 BI “Blk Rem Access” and “RELAY

TEST”
There are two methods to block remote access to the device, BI “Blk Rem
Access” or making change in the content of special Control word “NOT Blk
Remote Access” which can be set under “Common Para” submenu.
When BI “Blk Rem Access” is activated, or the content of Control word “NOT
Blk Remote Access” is set to 0, SCADA remote access is blocked to the de-
vice and therefore, only local operation is permitted.
When BI “Blk Rem Access” is deactivated, and the content of Control word
“NOT Blk Remote Access” is set to 1, both SCADA commands and local op-
eration can be executed by the device.
Similarly, there are two methods to select test or normal operating mode of
the device, BI “Relay Test” or making change in the content of special Control
word “Relay Test Mode” which can be set under “Common Para” submenu.
When BI “Relay Test” is activated, or the content of Control word “Relay Test
Mode” is set to 1, the relay is in test mode.
When BI “Relay Test” is deactivated, and the content of Control word “Relay
Test Mode” is set to 0, the relay is in normal operation mode
6 BI “BI_Config1~ BI_Config2” and “BI

TRIGGER DR1~ 10”
Both “BI_Config1~ BI_Config2” and “BI Trigger DR1~ BI Trigger DR10” are
binary inputs which can be recorded. BI_Config1~ BI_Config2 can operate to
binary output X10 and X11. The names of these BIs can be modified by
CSPC tools according to actual situation.

Chapter 22 Interturn protection
About this chapter
This chapter introduces the protection principle (applicable for

reactor), input and output signal, parameters of interturn protec-
tion and device report and technical data.
243
1 Overview
Interturn short circuit is a usually seen internal fault. The fault tolerant recheck
self-adaptive interturn protection principle is adopted by the IED.
The IED uses the self calculated zero sequence current at the terminal of
main reactor and the self calculated zero sequence voltage in the place
where the reactor is installed to calculate the zero sequence power direction.
The zero sequence current is always lagged behind zero sequence voltage,
when the interturn short circuit happens, meanwhile, the measured zero
sequence reactance is then system zero sequence reactance of system. The
zero sequence voltage is lagged behind zero sequence current when external
fault occurs, meanwhile, the measured zero sequence rectance is the then
the zero sequence reactance of the reactor. Therefore, the phase relationship
between zero sequence current at the terminal of main reactor and zero
sequence voltage in ther place where the reactor is installed to distinguish the
interturn short circuit, internal earth fault and external earth fault. The zero
sequence current and voltage amplitudes based on zero sequence
impedence (zero sequence impedence of system is much less than the zero
sequence impedance of reactor) relatively small because the zero sequence
voltage is small when the short circuit number of turns are few. Hence, the
zero sequence voltage compensation is required for better judgement of
interturn fault of few turns. In order to eliminate the influence of irrelevant zero
sequence to the interturn protection sensitivity, the impedance acts as the
auxillary criterion.
The connection of zero sequence voltage and zero sequence current is

shown in the figure below.

In which, 3U 0 and 3I02 are respectively the self calculated zero sequence

the the zero sequence impedance of reacotor (The zero sequence imped-
ance of neutral reacor will be included if there is a neutral reactor). K repre-
sents self adaptive compensation factor, ranges from 0 to 0.8.

In which, Z represents the secondary resistant value of main reactor, which is

impedance of main reac tor.
In order to ensure the reliable operation of interturn protection, the CT failue

and PT failure detection element is provided. The main reactor interturn pro-
tection is disabled when CT or PT failure occur.

Chapter 23 Station communication
About this chapter

This chapter describes the communication possibilities in a
SA-system.
249
1 Overview
Each IED is provided with a communication interface, enabling it to connect to
one or many substation level systems or equipment.
The following communication protocols are available:
 LON communication protocol
 IEC 61850-8-1 communication protocol
 60870-5-103 communication protocol
The IED is able to connect to one or more substation level systems or

equipments simultaneously, through the communication ports and supported
protocols.
1.1 Protocol
1.1.1 LON communication protocol
The LON protocol is specified in the LonTalkProtocol Specification Version 3

from Echelon Corporation. This protocol is designed for communication in
control networks and is a peer-to-peer protocol where all the devices con-
nected to the network can communicate with each other directly.
1.1.2 IEC61850-8 communication protocol
IEC 61850-8-1 allows two or more intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) from
one or several vendors to exchange information and to use it in the perfor-
mance of their functions and for correct co-operation.
GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event), which is a part of IEC

61850-8-1 standard, allows the IEDs to communicate state and control in-
formation amongst themselves, using a publish-subscribe mechanism. That
is, upon detecting an event, the IED(s) use a multi-cast transmission to notify
those devices that have registered to receive the data. An IED can, by pub-
lishing a GOOSE message, report its status. It can also request a control ac-
tion to be directed at any device in the network.
250
1.1.3 IEC60870-5-103 communication protocol
The IEC 60870-5-103 communication protocol is mainly used when a protec-

tion IED communicates with a third party control or monitoring system. This
system must have software that can interpret the IEC 60870-5-103 commu-
nication messages.
The IEC 60870-5-103 is an unbalanced (master-slave) protocol for coded-bit

serial communication exchanging information with a control system. In IEC
terminology a primary station is a master and a secondary station is a slave.
The communication is based on a point-to-point principle. The master must
have software that can interpret the IEC 60870-5-103 communication mes-
sages. For detailed information about IEC 60870-5-103, refer to the
“IEC60870 standard” part 5: “Transmission protocols”, and to the section 103:
“Companion standard for the informative interface of protection equipment”.
1.2 Communication port
1.2.1 Front communication port
There is a serial RS232 port on the front plate of all IEDs. Through this port,
the IED can be connected to the personal computer for setting, testing, and
configuration using the dedicated Sifang software tool.
1.2.2 RS485 communication ports
Up to 2 isolated electrical RS485 communication ports are provided to con-

nect with substation automation system. These two ports can work in parallel
for IEC60870-5-103.
1.2.3 Ethernet communication ports
Up to 3 electrical or optical Ethernet communication ports are provided to

connect with substation automation system. These two out of three ports can
work in parallel for protocol, IEC61850 or IEC60870-5-103.

3 CT Requirement
3.1 Overview
In practice, the conventional magnetic- core current transformer (hereinafter
as referred CT) is not able to transform the current signal accurately in whole
fault period of all possible faults because of manufactured cost and installa-
421
Chapter 25 Appendix
tion space limited. CT Saturation will cause distortion of the current signal
and can result in a failure to operate or cause unwanted operations of some
functions. Although more and more protection IEDs have been designed to
permit CT saturation with maintained correct operation, the performance of
protection IED is still depended on the correct selection of CT.
3.2 Current transformer classification

The conventional CTs are usually manufactured in accordance with the
standard, IEC 60044, ANSI / IEEE C57.13, ANSI / IEEE C37.110 or other
comparable standards, which CTs are specified in different protection class.
Currently, the CT for protection are classified according to functional per-

formance as follows:
 Class P CT
Accuracy limit defined by composite error with steady symmetric primary

current. No limit for remanent flux.
 Class PR CT
CT with limited remanence factor for which, in some cased, a value of the
secondary loop time constant and/or a limiting value of the winding re-
sistance may also be specified.
 Class PX CT
Low leakage reactance for which knowledge of the transformer second-

ary excitation characteristic, secondary winding resistance, secondary
burden resistance and turns ratio is sufficient to assess its performance
in relation to the protective relay system with which it is to be used.
 Class TPS CT
Low leakage flux current transient transformer for which performance is

defined by the secondary excitation characteristics and turns ratio error
limits. No limit for remanent flux
 Class TPX CT
Accuracy limit defined by peak instantaneous error during specified tran-

sient duty cycle. No limit for remanent flux.
 Class TPY CT
Accuracy limit defined by peak instantaneous error during specified tran-

sient duty cycle. Remanent flux not to exceed 10% of the saturation flux..
 Class TPZ CT
Accuracy limit defined by peak instantaneous alternating current com-
422
Chapter 25 Appendix
ponent error during single energization with maximum d.c. offset at

specified secondary loop time constant. No requirements for d.c. com-
ponent error limit. Remanent flux to be practically negligible.
 TPE class CT (TPE represents transient protection and electronic type

CT)

3.4 General current transformer requirements
3.4.1 Protective checking current
The current error of CT should be within the accuracy limit required at speci-
fied fault current.
To verify the CT accuracy performance, Ipcf, primary protective checking

current, should be chose properly and carefully.
For different protections, Ipcf is the selected fault current in proper fault po-
sition of the corresponding fault, which will flow through the verified CT.
To guarantee the reliability of protection relay, Ipcf should be the maximum

fault current at internal fault. E.g. maximum primary three phase short-circuit
fault current or single phase earth fault current depended on system se-
quence impedance, in different positions.
Moreover, to guarantee the security of protection relay, Ipcf should be the

maximum fault current at external fault.
Last but not least, Ipcf calculation should be based on the future possible
system power capacity
Kpcf, protective checking factor, is always used to verified the CT perfor-

mance
To reduce the influence of transient state, Kalf, Accuracy limit factor of CT,
should be larger than the following requirement
Ks, Specified transient factor, should be decided based on actual operation

state and operation experiences by user.
3.4.2 CT class
The selected CT should guarantee that the error is within the required ac-

Chapter 25 Appendix
curacy limit at steady symmetric short circuit current. The influence of short
circuit current DC component and remanence should be considered, based
on extent of system transient influence, protection function characteristic,
consequence of transient saturation and actual operating experience. To ful-
fill the requirement on a specified time to saturation, the rated equivalent
secondary e.m.f of CTs must higher than the required maximum equivalent
secondary e.m.f that is calculated based on actual application.
For the CTs applied to transmission line protection, transformer differential

protection with 330kV voltage level and above, and 300MW and above gen-
erator-transformer set differential protection, the power system time constant
is so large that the CT is easy to saturate severely due to system transient
state. To prevent the CT from saturation at actual duty cycle, TP class CT is
preferred.
For TPS class CT, Eal (rated equivalent secondary limiting e.m.f) is generally
determined as follows:
Where
Ks: Specified transient factor
Kssc: Rated symmetrical short-circuit current factor
For TPX, TPY and TPZ class CT, Eal (rated equivalent secondary limiting
e.m.f) is generally determined as follows:
Where
Ktd: Rated transient dimensioning factor
Considering at short circuit current with 100% offset
For C-t-O duty cycle,
t: duration of one duty cycle;
For C-t’-O-tfr-C-t”-O duty cycle,
425
Chapter 25 Appendix
t’: duration of first duty cycle;
t”: duration of second duty cycle;
tfr: duration between two duty cycle;
For the CTs applied to 110 - 220kV voltage level transmission line protection,
110 - 220kV voltage level transformer differential protection, 100-200MW
generator-transformer set differential protection, and large capacity motor
differential protection, the influence of system transient state to CT is so less
that the CT selection is based on system steady fault state mainly, and leave
proper margin to tolerate the negative effect of possible transient state.
Therefore, P, PR, PX class CT can be always applied.
For P class and PR class CT, Esl (the rated secondary limited e.m.f) is gen-
erally determined as follows:
Kalf: Accuracy limit factor
For PX class CT, Ek (rated knee point e.m.f) is generally determined as fol-
lows:
Kx: Demensioning factor
For the CTs applied to protection for110kV voltage level and below system,
the CT should be selected based on system steady fault state condition. P
class CT is always applied.
3.4.3 Accuracy class
The CT accuracy class should guarantee that the protection relay applied is
able to operate correctly even at a very sensitive setting, e.g. for a sensitive
residual overcurrent protection. Generally, the current transformer should
have an accuracy class, which have an current error at rated primary current,
that is less than ±1% (e.g. class 5P).
If current transformers with less accuracy are used it is advisable to check

the actual unwanted residual current during the commissioning.
3.4.4 Ratio of CT
The current transformer ratio is mainly selected based on power system data
426
Chapter 25 Appendix
like e.g. maximum load. However, it should be verified that the current to the
protection is higher than the minimum operating value for all faults that are to
be detected with the selected CT ratio. The minimum operating current is
different for different functions and settable normally. So each function
should be checked separately.
3.4.5 Rated secondary current
There are 2 standard rated secondary currents, 1A or 5A. Generally, 1 A

should be preferred, particularly in HV and EHV stations, to reduce the bur-
den of the CT secondary circuit. Because 5A rated CTs, i.e. I2R is 25x com-
pared to only 1x for a 1A CT. However, in some cases to reduce the CT
secondary circuit open voltage, 5A can be applied.
3.4.6 Secondary burden
Too high flux will result in CT saturation. The secondary e.m.f is directly
proportional to linked flux. To feed rated secondary current, CT need to
generate enough secondary e.m.f to feed the secondary burden. Conse-
quently, Higher secondary burden, need Higher secondary e.m.f, and then
closer to saturation. So the actual secondary burden R’b must be less than
the rated secondary burden Rb of applied CT, presented
Rb > R’b
Equation 55
The CT actual secondary burden R’b consists of wiring loop resistance

Rlead and the actual relay burdens Zb in whole secondary circuit, which is
calculated by following equation
R’b = Rlead + Zb
Equation 56
The rated relay burden, Zbn, is calculated as below:
427
Chapter 25 Appendix
Equation 57
Where
Sr: the burden of IED current input channel per phase, in VA;
For earth faults, the loop includes both phase and neutral wire, normally
twice the resistance of the single secondary wire. For three-phase faults the
neutral current is zero and it is just necessary to consider the resistance up to
the point where the phase wires are connected to the common neutral wire.
The most common practice is to use four wires secondary cables so it nor-
mally is sufficient to consider just a single secondary wire for the three-phase
case.
In isolated or high impedance earthed systems the phase-to-earth fault is not

the considered dimensioning case and therefore the resistance of the single
secondary wire always can be used in the calculation, for this case.
3.5 Rated equivalent secondary e.m.f requirements

To guarantee correct operation, the current transformers (CTs) must be able
to correctly reproduce the current for a minimum time before the CT will
begin to saturate.
Transformer differential protection
It is recommended that the CT of each side could be same class and with
same characteristic to guarantee the protection sensitivity.
For the CTs applied to 330kV voltage level and above step-down transformer,
TPY class CT is preferred for each side.
For the CTs of high voltage side and middle voltage side, Eal should be ver-
ified at external fault C-O-C-O duty cycle.
For the CT of low voltage side in delta connection, Eal should be verified at
external three phase short circuit fault C-O duty cycle.
Eal must meet the requirement based on following equations:
Equation 58
Where
K’td: Recommended transient dimensioning factor for verification, 3

recommended
428
Chapter 25 Appendix
For 220kV voltage level and below transformer differential protection, P

Class, PR class and PX class is able to be used. Because the system time
constant is less relatively, and then DC component is less, the probability of
CT saturation due to through fault current at external fault is reduced more
and more.
For P Class, PR class CT, Esl can be verified as below:
Equation 59
Where
Ks: Specified transient factor, 2 recommended
For PX class CT, Ek can be verified as below:
Equation 60
Where
Ks: Specified transient factor, 2 recommended
