Working Principle The relay receives current signals from CTs on both sides of the transformer and voltage signals from VTs. It continuously calculates differential currents by comparing primary and secondary side currents, compensated for transformer turns ratio and vector group. The differential protection includes harmonic restraint to prevent false tripping during transformer inrush conditions. Overcurrent elements monitor for external faults, while overexcitation protection monitors the V/Hz ratio to prevent core saturation. The relay’s adaptive algorithms continuously adjust settings based on system conditions, providing optimal protection under varying operating scenarios.
