Types of ProtectionMechanical Protection
• Analysis of Accumulated Gases– Looks for arcing by‐products
• Sudden Pressure Relays– Orifice allows for normal thermal expansion/contraction. Arcing
causing pressure waves in oil or gas space overwhelming the orifice and actuating the relay.
• Thermal– Caused by overload, over excitation, harmonics and geo magnetically
induced currents• Hot spot temperature• Top Oil• LTC Overheating

Angular Displacement Conventions:• ANSI Y‐Y, Δ‐Δ@ 0°; Y‐Δ , Δ‐Y @ X1 lags H1 by 30°
– ANSI makes life easy
• Euro‐designations use 30° increments of LAG from the X1 bushing to the H1 bushings
– Dy11=X1 lags H1 by 11*30°=330°or, H1 leads X1 by 30°

Phase DifferentialOverview
• Applied with variable percentage slopes to accommodate CT saturation and CT ratio errors
• Applied with inrush and over excitation restraints
• Set with at least a 20% pick up to accommodate CT performance– Class “C” CT; +/‐ 10% at 20X
rated• If unit is LTC, add another +/‐
10%• May not be sensitive enough
for all faults (low level, ground faults near neutral)

• CT ratios and tap settings are selected to account for:
– Transformer ratios– If delta or wye connected CTs are
applied– Delta increases ratio by 1.73
• Delta CTs must be used to filter zero‐sequence current on all wye transformer windings
• Dy transformer connections compensated by yd CT connections to make the currents “apples to apples”.

Settings compensate for the following:• Transformer ratio• CT ratio• Vector quantities
– Which vectors are used– Where the 1.73 factor (√3) is applied
• When examining line to line quantities on delta connected transformer windings and CT windings
• Zero‐sequence current filtering for wye windings so the differential quantities do not occur from external ground faults

have a standard like ANSI• Most common connection is

Benefits of Wye CTs
• Phase segregated line currents– Individual line current oscillography– Currents may be easily used for overcurrent protection and metering
– Easier to commission and troubleshoot– Zero sequence elimination performed by calculation

Harmonically Restrained Differential Element• Inrush Detection and Restraint
– Inrush occurs on transformer energizing as the core magnetizes– Sympathy inrush occurs from adjacent transformer(s) energizing, fault
removal, allowing the transformer to undergo a low level inrush– Characterized by current into one winding of transformer, and not out
of the other winding(s)– This causes the differential element to pickup– Use inrush restraint to block differential element during inrush period
Phase DifferentialDigital Relay Application
![Page 32: Hands On Relay School - IEEE Entity Web Hosting · PDF fileHands On Relay School ... • Internal ground fault sensitivityconcerns ... Transformer Tap Calculation‐Per Unit Concept](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021417/5a82c1247f8b9a9d308e474e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Inrush Detection and Restraint– 2nd harmonic restraint has been employed for years– “Gap” detection has also been employed– As transformers are designed to closer tolerances, both 2nd harmonic
and low current gaps in waveform have decreased– If 2nd harmonic restraint level is set too low, differential element may
be blocked for internal faults with CT saturation (with associated harmonics generated)

• Inrush Detection and Restraint– 4th harmonic is also generated during inrush– Odd harmonics are not as prevalent as Even harmonics during inrush– Odd harmonics more prevalent during CT saturation– Use 4th harmonic and 2nd harmonic together– M‐3310/M‐3311 relays use RMS sum of the 2nd and 4th harmonic as
inrush restraint– Result: Improved security while not sacrificing reliability

• Overexcitation Restraint– Overexcitation occurs when volts per hertz level rises (V/Hz)
– This typically occurs from load rejection and malfunctioning generation AVRs
– The voltage rise at nominal frequency causes the V/Hz to rise
– This causes 5th harmonics to be generated in the transformer as it begins to go into saturation
– The current entering the transformer is more than the current leaving due to this increase in magnetizing current
– This causes the differential element to pick‐up– Use 5th harmonic level to detect overexcitation

• Slope 1– Used for low level currents– Typically set for 25%
• Slope 2 “breakpoint”– Typically set at 2X rated current– This setting assumes that any current over 2X rated is a
through fault or internal fault, and is used to desensitize the element against unfaithful replication

• Slope 2– Typically set at 70%
• Inrush Restraint (2nd and 4th harmonic)– Typically set from 15‐20%– Employ cross phase averaging blocking for security
• Over‐excitation Restraint (5th harmonic)– Typically set at 30%– Raise 87T pick up to 0.60 pu during overexcitation– No cross phase averaging needed, as overexcitation is
symmetric on the phases

• Unrestrained 87H Pick Up– Typically set at 8‐10pu rated current– This value should be above maximum possible inrush current
and lower than the CT saturation current– C37.91, section 5.2.3, states 10pu an acceptable value– Can use data captured from energizations to fine tune the
setting

CT Issues:• Remnance: Residual magnetism that causes dc saturation of the
CTs• Saturation: Error signal resulting from too high a primary current
combined with a large burden• Tolerance: Class “C” CTs are rated +/‐ 10% for currents x20 of
nominal – Thru‐faults and internal faults may reach those levels depending on ratio
selected

CT Issues (cont.)• Best defense is to use high “Class C” voltage levels
– C400, C800– These have superior characteristics against saturation and relay/wiring
burden• Use low burden relays
– Digital systems are typically 0.020 ohms• Use a variable percentage slope characteristic to desensitize
the differential element when challenged by high currents that may cause replication errors

“Point‐on‐Wave” Considerations During Energization• As most circuit breakers are ganged three‐pole, each phase is closed at a
different angle resulting in less harmonics on one phase and more on the others
• Low levels of harmonics may not provide inrush restraint for affected phase –security risk!
• Most modern relays employ some kind of cross‐phase averaging scheme to compensate for this issue
– Provides security if any phase has low harmonic content during inrush or overexcitation– This can occur depending on the voltage point‐on‐wave when the transformer is energized for a
given phase– Cross phase averaging uses the average of harmonics on all three phases to determine level

Improved Ground Fault Sensitivity:• 87T element is typically set with 20‐40% pick up• This is to accommodate Class “C” CT accuracy
during a fault plus the effects of LTCs• That leaves 20‐40% of the winding not covered for
a ground fault• Employ a ground differential element to improve
sensitivity (87GD)

Switch‐onto‐Fault:• Transformer is faulted on energizing• Harmonic restraint on unfaulted phases may work against trip decision if cross phase averaging is used– Un‐faulted phase will have no harmonics, other phases may have high value
• Employ 87HS to protect winding that is being energized
• Employ 87GD on coupled winding if it is wye

Switch‐onto‐Fault (cont):• Employ 87HS to protect winding that is first energized• 87HS is set above inrush current• If fault is near the bushing end of the winding, the current will be higher
than inrush– Typically 9‐12 pu thru current
• 87HS does not employ harmonic restraint– Fast tripping on high current faults

Restricted Earth Fault Trip Characteristic
• 87GD Pick Up– Element normally uses directional comparison between phase
residual current (3I0) and measured ground current (IG)• No user setting
– Pick up only applicable when 3I0 current is below 140mA (5A nom.)
• Pick up = 3I0 - IG
– If 3I0 greater than 140mA, element uses:• –3I0 * IG * cosθ. It will trip only when the directions of the
currents is opposite, indicating an internal fault• Using direction comparison mitigates the effects of saturation on
the phase and ground CTs
