Application manual
General IED application
GUID-EB939A4F-1C88-4EB1-A217-571FEF72AC7B v2
The RET650 provides fast and selective protection, monitoring and control functions for two-
and three-winding transformers, autotransformers, generator-transformer units and shunt
reactors. The IED is designed to operate correctly over a wide frequency range in order to
accommodate power system frequency variations during disturbances and generator startup
and shutdown. Apparatus control for 3 circuit breakers is included.
A fast differential protection function with built-in transformer ratio matching and vector
group compensation makes this IED the ideal solution even for the most demanding
applications. Since RET650 has very low requirements on the main CTs, no interposing CTs are
required. The differential protection function is provided with 2nd harmonic and waveform-
blocking restraint features to avoid tripping for magnetizing inrush current, and 5th harmonic
restraint to avoid tripping for overexcitation.
The differential function offers a high sensitivity for low-level internal faults. The unique and
innovative sensitive differential protection feature of the RET650 provides the best possible
coverage for internal turn-to-turn winding faults, based on the theory of symmetrical
components.
A low impedance restricted earth-fault protection function is available as a complimentary
sensitive and fast main protection against winding earth faults. This function includes a
directional zero-sequence current criterion for additional security.
Tripping from pressure relief/Buchholz and temperature devices can be implemented through
the IED's binary inputs, where trip signal conditioning can be performed (pulsing, lockout,
additional logics, etc). The binary inputs are thoroughly stabilized against disturbances in
order to prevent incorrect operations due to for example DC system capacitive discharges or
DC earth faults.
Versatile phase, earth and zero sequence overcurrent functions with directional capability
provide further alternative backup protections. Thermal overload with two time-constants and
breaker failure protection is also available.
A built-in disturbance and event recorder provides valuable data to the user about status and
operation for post-fault disturbance analysis.
One pre-configured package has been defined for the following application:
•
Three-winding transformer in single breaker arrangements (A05)
The package is configured and ready for direct use. Analog and control circuits have been
predefined and other signals need to be applied as required for each application. The pre-
configured IED can be changed and adapted to suit specific applications with the graphical
configuration tool.
Forcing of binary inputs and outputs is a convenient way to test wiring in substations as well
as testing configuration logic in the IEDs. Basically it means that all binary inputs and outputs
on the IED I/O modules (BOM, BIM and IOM) can be forced to arbitrary values.
Central Account Management is an authentication infrastructure that offers a secure solution
for enforcing access control to IEDs and other systems within a substation. This incorporates

management of user accounts, roles and certificates and the distribution of such, a procedure
completely transparent to the user.
The Flexible Product Naming allows the customer to use an IED-vendor independent 61850
model of the IED. This customer model will be used as the IEC 61850 data model, but all other
aspects of the IED will remain unchanged (e.g., names on the local HMI and names in the tools).
This offers significant flexibility to adapt the IED to the customers system and standard
solution

Description of configuration RET650
3.1.1
Introduction
GUID-79B8BC84-4AAB-44E7-86CD-FF63098B009D v1
The basic delivery includes one binary input module and one binary output module, which is
sufficient for the default configured IO to trip and close circuit breaker. All IEDs can be
reconfigured with the help of the ACT configuration tool in the PCM600 engineering platform.
The IED can be adapted to special applications and special logic can be developed, such as
logic for automatic opening of disconnectors and closing of ring bays, automatic load transfer
from one busbar to the other, and so on.
The basic IED configuration is provided with the signal matrix, mimic and the application
configuration prepared for the functions included in the product by default. All parameters
should be verified by the customer, since these are specific to the system, object or
application. Optional functions and optional IO ordered will not be configured at delivery. It
should be noted that the standard only includes one binary input and one binary output
module and only the key functions such as tripping are connected to the outputs in the signal
matrix tool. The required total IO must be calculated and specified at ordering.
The configurations are as far as found necessary provided with application comments to
explain why the signals have been connected in the special way. On request, ABB is available to
support the re-configuration work, either directly or to do the design checking.

Application manual
Analog input channels must be configured and set properly in order to get correct
measurement results and correct protection operations. For power measuring and all
directional and differential functions the directions of the input currents must be defined in
order to reflect the way the current transformers are installed/connected in the field ( primary
and secondary connections ). Measuring and protection algorithms in the IED use primary
system quantities. Setting values are in primary quantities as well and it is important to set
the data about the connected current and voltage transformers properly.
A reference PhaseAngleRef can be defined to facilitate service values reading. This analog
channels phase angle will always be fixed to zero degrees and all other angle information will
be shown in relation to this analog input. During testing and commissioning of the IED the
reference channel can be changed to facilitate testing and service values reading.
The availability of VT inputs depends on the ordered transformer input module
(TRM) type.
4.2
Setting guidelines
SEMOD55068-1 v1
SEMOD130348-4 v5
The available setting parameters related to analog inputs are depending on the
actual hardware (TRM) and the logic configuration made in PCM600.
If a second TRM is used, at least one TRM channel must be configured to get
the service values. However, the MU physical channel must be configured to get
service values from that channel.
4.2.1
Setting of the phase reference channel
SEMOD55055-5 v3
All phase angles are calculated in relation to a defined reference. An appropriate analog input
channel is selected and used as phase reference. The parameter PhaseAngleRef defines the
analog channel that is used as phase angle reference.
4.2.1.1
Example
SEMOD55055-11 v4
Usually the L1 phase-to-earth voltage connected to the first VT channel number of the
transformer input module (TRM) is selected as the phase reference. The first VT channel
number depends on the type of transformer input module.
For a TRM with 6 current and 6 voltage inputs the first VT channel is 7. The setting
PhaseAngleRef=7 shall be used if the phase reference voltage is connected to that channel.

Setting of current channels
SEMOD55055-16 v5
The direction of a current to the IED is depending on the connection of the CT. Unless
indicated otherwise, the main CTs are supposed to be star connected and can be connected
with the earthing point to the object or from the object. This information must be set in the
IED. The convention of the directionality is defined as follows: A positive value of current,
power, and so on means that the quantity has the direction into the object and a negative
value means direction out from the object. For directional functions the direction into the
object is defined as Forward and the direction out from the object is defined as Reverse. See
figure 3
A positive value of current, power, and so on (forward) means that the quantity has a direction
towards the object. - A negative value of current, power, and so on (reverse) means a direction
away from the object. See figure 3.

This example is similar to example 1, but here the transformer is feeding just one line and the
line protection uses the same CT as the transformer protection does. The CT direction is set
with different reference objects for the two IEDs though it is the same current from the same
CT that is feeding the two IEDs. With these settings the directional functions of the line

Figure 6:
Example how to set CTStarPoint parameters in the IED
In this example one IED includes both transformer and line protection and the line protection
uses the same CT as the transformer protection does. For both current input channels the CT
direction is set with the transformer as reference object. This means that the direction
Forward for the line protection is towards the transformer. To look towards the line the
direction of the directional functions of the line protection must be set to Reverse. The
direction Forward/Reverse is related to the reference object that is the transformer in this
case.
When a function is set to Reverse and shall protect an object in reverse direction it shall be
noted that some directional functions are not symmetrical regarding the reach in forward and
reverse direction. It is in first hand the reach of the directional criteria that can differ. Normally
it is not any limitation but it is advisable to have it in mind and check if it is acceptable for the
application in question.
If the IED has a sufficient number of analog current inputs an alternative solution is shown in
figure 7. The same currents are fed to two separate groups of inputs and the line and
transformer protection functions are configured to the different inputs. The CT direction for
the current channels to the line protection is set with the line as reference object and the
directional functions of the line protection shall be set to Forward to protect the line.

that for these two cases the CT polarity marking is correct!
It shall be noted that depending on national standard and utility practices, the rated secondary
current of a CT has typically one of the following values:
•
1A
•
5A
However in some cases the following rated secondary currents are used as well:
•
2A
•
10A
The IED fully supports all of these rated secondary values.
It is recommended to:
•
use 1A rated CT input into the IED in order to connect CTs with 1A and 2A
secondary rating
•
use 5A rated CT input into the IED in order to connect CTs with 5A and 10A
secondary rating

Application manual
These three connections are the links between the three current inputs and the three input channels
of the preprocessing function block 4). Depending on the type of functions, which need this current
information, more than one preprocessing block might be connected in parallel to the same three
physical CT inputs.
4)
The preprocessing block that has the task to digitally filter the connected analog inputs and
calculate:
•
fundamental frequency phasors for all three input channels
•
harmonic content for all three input channels
•
positive, negative and zero sequence quantities by using the fundamental frequency phasors
for the first three input channels (channel one taken as reference for sequence quantities)
These calculated values are then available for all built-in protection and control functions within the
IED, which are connected to this preprocessing function block. For this application most of the
preprocessing settings can be left to the default values.
If frequency tracking and compensation is required (this feature is typically required only for IEDs
installed in power plants), then the setting parameters DFTReference shall be set accordingly.
Section SMAI in this manual provides information on adaptive frequency tracking for the signal
matrix for analogue inputs (SMAI).
5)
AI3P in the SMAI function block is a grouped signal which contains all the data about the phases L1,
L2, L3 and neutral quantity; in particular the data about fundamental frequency phasors, harmonic
content and positive sequence, negative and zero sequence quantities are available.
AI1, AI2, AI3, AI4 are the output signals from the SMAI function block which contain the fundamental
frequency phasors and the harmonic content of the corresponding input channels of the
preprocessing function block.
AIN is the signal which contains the fundamental frequency phasors and the harmonic content of
the neutral quantity. In this example GRP2N is not connected so this data is calculated by the
preprocessing function block on the basis of the inputs GRPL1, GRPL2 and GRPL3. If GRP2N is
connected, the data reflects the measured value of GRP2N.
Another alternative is to have the star point of the three-phase CT set as shown in figure 10:

Relationships between setting parameter Base Current, CT
rated primary current and minimum pickup of a protection IED
GUID-8EB19363-9178-4F04-A6AC-AF0C2F99C5AB v1
Note that for all line protection applications (e.g. distance protection or line differential
protection) the parameter Base Current (i.e. IBase setting in the IED) used by the relevant
protection function, shall always be set equal to the largest rated CT primary current among all
Section 4
1MRK 504 158-UEN A
Analog inputs
42
Application manual
CTs involved in the protection scheme. The rated CT primary current value is set as parameter
CTPrim under the IED TRM settings.
For all other protection applications (e.g. generator, shunt reactor, shunt capacitor and
transformer protection) it is typically desirable to set IBase parameter equal to the rated
current of the protected object. However this is only recommended to do if the rated current
of the protected object is within the range of 40% to 120% of the selected CT rated primary
current. If for any reason (e.g. high maximum short circuit current) the rated current of the
protected object is less than 40% of the rated CT primary current, it is strongly recommended
to set the parameter IBase in the IED to be equal to the largest rated CT primary current
among all CTs involved in the protection scheme and installed on the same voltage level. This
will effectively make the protection scheme less sensitive; however, such measures are
necessary in order to avoid possible problems with loss of the measurement accuracy in the
IED.
Regardless of the applied relationship between the IBase parameter and the rated CT primary
current, the corresponding minimum pickup of the function on the CT secondary side must
always be verified. It is strongly recommended that the minimum pickup of any instantaneous
protection function (e.g. differential, restricted earth fault, distance, instantaneous
overcurrent, etc.) shall under no circumstances be less than 4% of the used IED CT input rating
(i.e. 1A or 5A). This corresponds to 40mA secondary for IED 1A rated inputs and to 200mA
secondary for IED 5A rated inputs used by the function. This shall be individually verified for all
current inputs involved in the protection scheme.
Note that exceptions from the above 4% rule may be acceptable for very special applications
(e.g. when Multipurpose filter SMAIHPAC is involved in the protection scheme).
4.2.4
Setting of voltage channels
SEMOD55055-44 v3
As the IED uses primary system quantities the main VT ratios must be known to the IED. This is
done by setting the two parameters VTsec and VTprim for each voltage channel. The phase-to-
phase value can be used even if each channel is connected to a phase-to-earth voltage from
the VT.

Transformer differential protection T3WPDIF
IP14639-1 v3
6.1.1
Application
M16722-3 v9
The transformer differential protection is a unit protection. It serves as the main protection of
transformers in case of winding failure. The protective zone of a differential protection
includes the transformer itself, the bus-work or cables between the current transformers and
the power transformer. When bushing current transformers are used for the differential IED,
the protective zone does not include the bus-work or cables between the circuit breaker and
the power transformer.
In some substations there is a current differential protection relay for the busbar. Such a
busbar protection will include the bus-work or cables between the circuit breaker and the
power transformer. Internal electrical faults are very serious and will cause immediate damage.
Short circuits and earth faults in windings and terminals will normally be detected by the
differential protection. Interturn faults are flashovers between conductors within the same
physical winding. It is possible to detect interturn faults if sufficient number of turns are
short-circuited. Interturn faults are the most difficult transformer winding fault to detect with
electrical protections. A small interturn fault including just a few turns will result in an
undetectable amount of current until it develops into an earth or phase fault. For this reason it
is important that the differential protection has a high level of sensitivity and that it is
possible to use a sensitive setting without causing unwanted operations during external
faults.
It is important that the faulty transformer be disconnected as fast as possible. As the
differential protection is a unit protection it can be designed for fast tripping, thus providing
selective disconnection of the faulty transformer. The differential protection should never
operate on faults outside the protective zone.
A transformer differential protection compares the current flowing into the transformer with
the current leaving the transformer. A correct analysis of fault conditions by the differential
protection must take into consideration changes due to the voltage, current and phase angle
caused by the protected transformer. Traditional transformer differential protection functions
required auxiliary transformers for correction of the phase shift and ratio. The numerical
microprocessor based differential algorithm as implemented in the IED compensates for both
the turn-ratio and the phase shift internally in the software. No auxiliary current transformers
are necessary.
The differential current should theoretically be zero during normal load or external faults if the
turn-ratio and the phase shift are correctly compensated. However, there are several different
phenomena other than internal faults that will cause unwanted and false differential currents.
The main reasons for unwanted differential currents may be:
•
mismatch due to varying tap changer positions
•
different characteristics, loads and operating conditions of the current transformers
•
zero sequence currents that only flow on one side of the power transformer
•
normal magnetizing currents
•
magnetizing inrush currents
•
overexcitation magnetizing currents

Protection and Control IED Manager (PCM600).
6.1.2.1
Restrained and unrestrained differential protection
M15266-289 v10
To make a differential IED as sensitive and stable as possible, restrained differential
protections have been developed and are now adopted as the general practice in the
protection of power transformers. The protection should be provided with a proportional bias,
which makes the protection operate for a certain percentage differential current related to the
current through the transformer. This stabilizes the protection under through fault conditions
while still permitting the system to have good basic sensitivity. The bias current can be
defined in many different ways. One classical way of defining the bias current has been Ibias =
(I1 + I2) / 2, where I1 is the magnitude of the power transformer primary current, and I2 the
magnitude of the power transformer secondary current. However, it has been found that if the
bias current is defined as the highest power transformer current this will reflect the difficulties
met by the current transformers much better. The differential protection function uses the
highest current of all restrain inputs as bias current. For applications where the power
transformer rated current and the CT primary rated current can differ considerably,
(applications with T-connections), measured currents in the T connections are converted to pu
value using the rated primary current of the CT, but one additional "measuring" point is
introduced as sum of this two T currents. This summed current is converted to pu value using
the power transformer winding rated currents. After that the highest pu value is taken as bias
current in pu. In this way the best possible combination between sensitivity and security for
differential protection function with T connection is obtained. The main philosophy behind the
principle with the operate bias characteristic is to increase the pickup level when the current
transformers have difficult operating conditions. This bias quantity gives the best stability
against an unwanted operation during external faults.
The usual practice for transformer protection is to set the bias characteristic to a value of at
least twice the value of the expected spill current under through faults conditions. These
criteria can vary considerably from application to application and are often a matter of
judgment. The second slope is increased to ensure stability under heavy through fault
conditions which could lead to increased differential current due to saturation of current
transformers. Default settings for the operating characteristic with IdMin = 0.3pu of the power
transformer rated current can be recommended as a default setting in normal applications. If
the conditions are known more in detail, higher or lower sensitivity can be chosen. The
selection of suitable characteristic should in such cases be based on the knowledge of the
class of the current transformers, availability of information on the load tap changer position,
short circuit power of the systems, and so on.
The second section of the restrain characteristic has an increased slope in order to deal with
increased differential current due to additional power transformer losses during heavy loading
of the transformer and external fault currents. The third section of the restrain characteristic
decreases the sensitivity of the restrained differential function further in order to cope with CT
saturation and transformer losses during heavy through faults. A default setting for the
operating characteristic with IdMin = 0.3 * IBase is recommended in normal applications. If the
conditions are known in more detail, higher or lower sensitivity can be chosen. The selection of
suitable characteristic should in such cases be based on the knowledge of the class of the
current transformers, availability of information on the tap changer position, short circuit
power of the systems, and so on.
Section 6
1MRK 504 158-UEN A
Differential protection

Application manual
Transformers can be connected to buses in such ways that the current transformers used for
the differential protection will be either in series with the power transformer windings or the
current transformers will be in breakers that are part of the bus, such as a breaker-and-a-half
or a ring bus scheme. For current transformers with primaries in series with the power
transformer winding, the current transformer primary current for external faults will be limited
by the transformer impedance. When the current transformers are part of the bus scheme, as
in the breaker-and-a-half or the ring bus scheme, the current transformer primary current is
not limited by the power transformer impedance. High primary currents may be expected. In
either case, any deficiency of current output caused by saturation of one current transformer
that is not matched by a similar deficiency of another current transformer will cause a false
differential current to appear. Differential protection can overcome this problem if the bias is
obtained separately from each set of current transformer circuits. It is therefore important to
avoid paralleling of two or more current transformers for connection to a single restraint
input. Each current connected to the IED is available for biasing the differential protection
function.
The unrestrained operation level has a default value of IdUnre = 10pu, which is typically
acceptable for most of the standard power transformer applications. In the following case,
this setting need to be changed accordingly:
•
When CT from "T-connection" are connected to IED, as in the breaker-and-a-half or the
ring bus scheme, special care shall be taken in order to prevent unwanted operation of
transformer differential IED for through-faults due to different CT saturation of "T-
connected" CTs. Thus if such uneven saturation is a possibility it is typically required to
increase unrestrained operational level to IdUnre = 20-25pu
•
For differential applications on HV shunt reactors, due to the fact that there is no heavy
through-fault condition, the unrestrained differential operation level can be set to IdUnre
= 1.75pu
The overall operating characteristic of the transformer differential protection is shown in
figure 27.

Elimination of zero sequence currents
M15266-286 v8
A differential protection may operate undesirably due to external earth-faults in cases where
the zero sequence current can flow on only one side of the power transformer, but not on the
other side. This is the case when zero sequence current cannot be properly transformed to the
other side of the power transformer. Power transformer connection groups of the Yd or Dy
type cannot transform zero sequence current. If a delta winding of a power transformer is
earthed via an earthing transformer inside the zone protected by the differential protection
there will be an unwanted differential current in case of an external earth-fault. The same is
true for an earthed star winding. Even if both the star and delta winding are earthed, the zero
sequence current is usually limited by the earthing transformer on the delta side of the power
Section 6

transformer, which may result in differential current as well. To make the overall differential
protection insensitive to external earth-faults in these situations the zero sequence currents
must be eliminated from the power transformer IED currents on the earthed windings, so that
they do not appear as differential currents. This had once been achieved by means of
interposing auxiliary current transformers. The elimination of zero sequence current is done
numerically by setting ZSCurrSubtrWx=Off or On and doesn't require any auxiliary
transformers or zero sequence traps. Instead it is necessary to eliminate the zero sequence
current from every individual winding by proper setting of setting parameters
ZSCurrSubtrWx=Off or On.
In case of a zig-zag winding, use one of the two following options:
•
A delta winding
•
A wye winding with zero sequence subtraction set to ON
6.1.2.3
Inrush restraint methods
M15266-6 v7
With a combination of the second harmonic restraint and the waveform restraint methods it is
possible to get a protection with high security and stability against inrush effects and at the
same time maintain high performance in case of heavy internal faults even if the current
transformers are saturated. Both these restraint methods are used by the IED. The second
harmonic restraint function has a settable level. If the ratio of the second harmonic to the
fundamental in the differential current is above the settable limit, the operation of the
differential protection is restrained. It is recommended to set parameter I2/I1Ratio = 15% as
default value in case no special reasons exist to choose another value.
6.1.2.4
Overexcitation restraint method
M15266-320 v9
In case of an overexcited transformer, the winding currents contain odd harmonic components
because the currents waveform are symmetrical relative to the time axis. As the third harmonic
currents cannot flow into a delta winding, the fifth harmonic is the lowest harmonic which can
serve as a criterion for overexcitation. The differential protection function is provided with a
fifth harmonic restraint to prevent the protection from operation during an overexcitation
condition of a power transformer. If the ratio of the fifth harmonic to the fundamental in the
differential current is above a settable limit the operation is restrained. It is recommended to
use I5/I1Ratio = 25% as default value in case no special reasons exist to choose another
setting.
6.1.2.5
Cross-blocking between phases
M15266-317 v7
Basic definition of the cross-blocking is that one of the three phases can block operation (that
is, tripping) of the other two phases due to the harmonic pollution of the differential current in
that phase (waveform, 2nd or 5th harmonic content). In the algorithm the user can control the
cross-blocking between the phases via the setting parameter CrossBlockEn. When parameter
CrossBlockEn is set to On, cross blocking between phases will be introduced. There are no
time related settings involved, but the phase with the operating point above the set bias
characteristic will be able to cross-block the other two phases if it is self-blocked by any of the
previously explained restrained criteria. As soon as the operating point for this phase is below
the set bias characteristic cross blocking from that phase will be inhibited. In this way cross-
blocking of the temporary nature is achieved. It should be noted that this is the default
(recommended) setting value for this parameter. When parameter CrossBlockEn is set to Off,
any cross blocking between phases will be disabled.

External/Internal fault discriminator
M15266-269 v10
The external/internal fault discriminator operation is based on the relative position of the two
phasors (in case of a two-winding transformer) representing the W1 and W2 negative
sequence current contributions, defined by matrix expression see the technical reference
manual. It practically performs a directional comparison between these two phasors.
In order to perform a directional comparison of the two phasors their magnitudes must be
high enough so that one can be sure that they are due to a fault. On the other hand, in order to
guarantee a good sensitivity of the internal/external fault discriminator, the value of this
minimum limit must not be too high. Therefore this limit value (IMinNegSeq) is settable in the
range from 1% to 20% of the differential protections IBasecurrent, which is in our case the
power transformer HV side rated current. The default value is 4%. Only if the magnitude of
both negative sequence current contributions are above the set limit, the relative position
between these two phasors is checked. If either of the negative sequence current
contributions, which should be compared, is too small (less than the set value for
IMinNegSeq), no directional comparison is made in order to avoid the possibility to produce a
wrong decision.
This magnitude check, guarantees stability of the algorithm when the power transformer is
energized. In cases where the protected transformer can be energized with a load connected
on the LV side (e.g. a step-up transformer in a power station with directly connected auxiliary
transformer on its LV side) the value for this setting shall be increased to at least 12%. This is
necessary in order to prevent unwanted operation due to LV side currents during the
transformer inrush.
The setting NegSeqROA represents the so-called Relay Operate Angle, which determines the
boundary between the internal and external fault regions. It can be selected in the range from
30 degrees to 90 degrees, with a step of 1 degree. The default value is 60 degrees. The default
setting 60 degrees somewhat favors security in comparison to dependability. If the user has
no well-justified reason for another value, 60 degrees shall be applied.
If the above conditions concerning magnitudes are fulfilled, the internal/external fault
discriminator compares the relative phase angle between the negative sequence current
contributions from the HV side and LV side of the power transformer using the following two
rules :
•
If the negative sequence currents contributions from HV and LV sides are in phase or at
least in the internal fault region, the fault is internal.
•
If the negative sequence currents contributions from HV and LV sides are 180 degrees out
of phase or at least in the external fault region, the fault is external.
Under external fault condition and with no current transformer saturation, the relative angle is
theoretically equal to 180 degrees. During internal fault and with no current transformer
saturation, the angle shall ideally be 0 degrees, but due to possible different negative
sequence source impedance angles on HV and LV side of power transformer, it may differ
somewhat from the ideal zero value.
The internal/external fault discriminator has proved to be very reliable. If a fault is detected,
that is, START signals set by ordinary differential protection, and at the same time the
internal/external fault discriminator characterizes this fault as an internal, any eventual
blocking signals produced by either the harmonic or the waveform restraints are ignored.
If the bias current is more than 110% of IBase, the negative sequence threshold (IMinNegSeq)
is increased internally.. This assures response times of the differential protection below one
power system cycle (below 20 ms for 50 Hz system) for all more severe internal faults. Even for
heavy internal faults with severely saturated current transformers this differential protection
operates well below one cycle, since the harmonic distortions in the differential currents do
not slow down the differential protection operation. Practically, an unrestrained operation is
achieved for all internal faults.
Section 6

Application manual
External faults happen ten to hundred times more often than internal ones as far as the power
transformers are concerned. If a disturbance is detected and the internal/external fault
discriminator characterizes this fault as an external fault, the conventional additional criteria
are posed on the differential algorithm before its trip is allowed. This assures high algorithm
stability during external faults. However, at the same time the differential function is still
capable of tripping quickly for evolving faults.
The principle of the internal/external fault discriminator can be extended to autotransformers
and transformers with three windings. If all three windings are connected to their respective
networks then three directional comparisons are made, but only two comparisons are
necessary in order to positively determine the position of the fault with respect to the
protected zone. The directional comparisons which are possible, are: W1 - (W2+W3) and W2 -
(W1+W3). The rule applied by the internal/external fault discriminator in case of three-winding
power transformers is:
•
If any comparison indicates an internal fault, then it is an internal fault.
•
If any comparison indicates an external fault, then it is an external fault
If one of the windings is not connected, the algorithm automatically reduces to the two-
winding version. Nevertheless, the whole power transformer is protected, including the non-
connected winding.
6.1.2.7
Differential current alarm
M15266-337 v6
Differential protection continuously monitors the level of the fundamental frequency
differential currents and gives an alarm if the pre-set value is simultaneously exceeded in all
three phases. This feature can be used to monitor the integrity of on-load tap-changer
compensation within the differential function. The threshold for the alarm pickup level is
defined by setting parameter IDiffAlarm. This threshold should be typically set in such way to
obtain operation when on-load tap-changer measured value within differential function differs
for more than two steps from the actual on-load tap-changer position. To obtain such
operation set parameter IDiffAlarm equal to two times the on-load tap-changer step size (For
example, typical setting value is 5% to 10% of base current). Set the time delay defined by
parameter tAlarmDelay two times longer than the on-load tap-changer mechanical operating
time (For example, typical setting value 10s).
6.1.2.8
Open CT detection
M15266-340 v5
The Transformer differential function has a built-in, advanced open CT detection feature. This
feature can block the unexpected operation created by the Transformer differential function in
case of open CT secondary circuit under normal load condition. An alarm signal can also be
issued to station operational personnel to make remedy action once the open CT condition is
detected.
The following setting parameters are related to this feature:
•
Setting parameter OpenCTEnable enables/disables this feature
•
Setting parameter tOCTAlarmDelay defines the time delay after which the alarm signal will
be given
•
Setting parameter tOCTReset defines the time delay after which the open CT condition
will reset once the defective CT circuits have been rectified
•
Once the open CT condition has been detected, then all the differential protection
functions are blocked except the unrestraint (instantaneous) differential protection
The outputs of open CT condition related parameters are listed below:

6.1.2.9
Switch onto fault feature
M15266-348 v5
The Transformer differential function in the IED has a built-in, advanced switch onto fault
feature. This feature can be enabled or disabled by the setting parameter SOTFMode. When
SOTFMode = On this feature is enabled. It shall be noted that when this feature is enabled it is
not possible to test the 2nd harmonic blocking feature by simply injecting one current with
superimposed second harmonic. In that case the switch on to fault feature will operate and
the differential protection will trip. However for a real inrush case the differential protection
function will properly restrain from operation.
For more information about the operating principles of the switch onto fault feature please
read the Technical Manual.

Introduction
SEMOD167720-5 v6
Differential protection for power transformers has been used for decades. In order to correctly
apply transformer differential protection proper compensation is needed for:
•
power transformer phase shift (vector group compensation)
•
CT secondary currents magnitude difference on different sides of the protected
transformer (ratio compensation)
•
zero sequence current elimination (zero sequence current reduction) shall be done. In the
past this was performed with help of interposing CTs or special connection of main CTs
(delta connected CTs). With numerical technology all these compensations are done in IED
software.
The Differential transformer protection is capable to provide differential protection for all
standard three-phase power transformers without any interposing CTs. It has been designed
with assumption that all main CTs will be star connected. For such applications it is then only
necessary to enter directly CT rated data and power transformer data as they are given on the
power transformer nameplate and differential protection will automatically balance itself.
These are internal compensations within the differential function. The
protected power transformer data are always entered as they are given on the
nameplate. Differential function will by itself correlate nameplate data and
properly select the reference windings.
However the IED can also be used in applications where some of the main CTs are connected in
delta. In such cases the ratio for the main CT connected in delta shall be intentionally set for √
(3)=1.732 times smaller than actual ratio of individual phase CTs (for example, instead of 800/5
set 462/5) In case the ratio is 800/2.88A, often designed for such typical delta connections,
set the ratio as 800/5 in the IED. At the same time the power transformer vector group shall
be set as Yy0 because the IED shall not internally provide any phase angle shift compensation.
The necessary phase angle shift compensation will be provided externally by delta connected
main CT. All other settings should have the same values irrespective of main CT connections.

Three application examples will be given here. For each example two differential protection

•
First solution will be with all main CTs star connected.
•
Second solution will be with delta connected main CT on Y (that is, star) connected sides
of the protected power transformer.
For each differential protection solution the following settings will be given:

For this particular power transformer the 69 kV side phase-to-earth no-load voltages lead by
30 degrees the 12.5 kV side phase-to- earth no-load voltages. Thus when external phase angle
shift compensation is done by connecting main HV CTs in delta, as shown in the right-hand
side in figure 29, it must be ensured that the HV currents are rotated by 30° in clockwise
direction. Thus the DAC delta CT connection must be used for 69 kV CTs in order to put 69 kV &
12.5 kV currents in phase.
To ensure proper application of the IED for this power transformer it is necessary to do the
following:
1. Check that HV & LV CTs are connected to 5 A CT inputs in the IED.
2. For second solution make sure that HV delta connected CTs are DAC connected.
3. For star connected CTs make sure how they are stared (that is, earthed) to/from protected
transformer.

Summary and conclusions
SEMOD168160-5 v3
The IED can be used for differential protection of three-phase power transformers with main
CTs either star or delta connected. However the IED has been designed with the assumption
that all main CTS are star connected. The IED can be used in applications where the main CTs
are delta connected. For such applications the following shall be kept in mind:
Section 6
1MRK 504 158-UEN A
Differential protection
76
Application manual
The ratio for delta connected CTs shall be set √(3)=1.732 times smaller than the actual
individual phase CT ratio.
2.
The power transformer vector group shall typically be set as Yy0 because the
compensation for power transformer the actual phase shift is provided by the external
delta CT connection.
3.
The zero sequence current is eliminated by the main CT delta connections. Thus on sides
where CTs are connected in delta the zero sequence current elimination shall be set to Off
in the IED.
The following table summarizes the most commonly used star-delta vector groups around the
world and provides information about the required type of main CT delta connection on the
star side of the protected transformer.

A breakdown of the insulation between a transformer winding and the core or the tank may
result in a large fault current which causes severe damage to the windings and the transformer
core. A high gas pressure may develop, damaging the transformer tank.
Fast and sensitive detection of earth faults in a power transformer winding can be obtained in
solidly earthed or low impedance earthed networks by the restricted earth-fault protection.
Section 6
1MRK 504 158-UEN A
Differential protection
78
Application manual
The only requirement is that the power transformer winding is connected to earth in the star
point (in case of star-connected windings) or through a separate earthing transformer (in case
of delta-connected windings).
The low impedance restricted earth-fault protection REFPDIF is a winding protection function.
It protects the power transformer winding against faults involving earth. Observe that single
phase-to-earth faults are the most common fault types in transformers. A sensitive earth-fault
protection is therefore desirable.
A restricted earth-fault protection is the fastest and the most sensitive protection, a power
transformer winding can have and will detect faults such as:
•
earth faults in the transformer winding when the network is earthed through an
impedance
•
earth faults in the transformer winding in solidly earthed network when the point of the
fault is close to the winding star point.
The restricted earth-fault protection is not affected, as a differential protection, with the
following power transformer related phenomena:
•
magnetizing inrush currents
•
overexcitation magnetizing currents
•
load tap changer
•
external and internal phase faults which do not involve earth
•
symmetrical overload conditions
Due to its features, REFPDIF is often used as a main protection of the transformer winding for
all faults involving earth.

CT earthing direction
M13048-29 v12
To make the restricted earth-fault protection REFPDIF operate correctly, the main CTs are
always supposed to be star -connected. The main CT's neutral (star) formation can be
positioned in either way, ToObject or FromObject. However, internally REFPDIF always uses
reference directions towards the protected transformers, as shown in Figure "". Thus the IED
always measures the primary currents on all sides and in the neutral of the power transformer
with the same reference direction towards the power transformer windings.
The earthing can be freely selected for each of the involved current transformers.

Settings
M13052-28 v12
The parameters for the restricted earth-fault protection, low impedance function REFPDIF are
set via the local HMI or PCM600.
Common base IED values for primary current (IBase), primary voltage (UBase) and primary
power (SBase) are set in a Global base values for settings function GBASVAL.
GlobalBaseSel: It is used to select a GBASVAL function for reference of base values.
Operation: The operation of REFPDIF can be switched On/Off.
IdMin: The setting gives the minimum operation value. The setting is in percent of the IBase
value of the chosen GlobalBaseSel. The neutral current must always be larger than half of this
value. A normal setting is 30% of power transformer-winding rated current for a solidly
earthed winding.
CTFactorPri1: A factor to allow a sensitive function also at multi-breaker arrangement where
the rating in the bay is much higher than the rated current of the transformer winding. The

the rating in the bay is much higher than the rated current of the transformer winding. The

M12911-3 v5
Long transmission lines often transfer great quantities of electric power from production to
consumption areas. The unbalance of the produced and consumed electric power at each end
of the transmission line is very large. This means that a fault on the line can easily endanger
the stability of a complete system.
The transient stability of a power system depends mostly on three parameters (at constant
amount of transmitted electric power):
•
The type of the fault. Three-phase faults are the most dangerous, because no power can
be transmitted through the fault point during fault conditions.
•
The magnitude of the fault current. A high fault current indicates that the decrease of
transmitted power is high.
•
The total fault clearing time. The phase angles between the EMFs of the generators on
both sides of the transmission line increase over the permitted stability limits if the total
fault clearing time, which consists of the protection operating time and the breaker
opening time, is too long.
The fault current on long transmission lines depends mostly on the fault position and
decreases with the distance from the generation point. For this reason the protection must
operate very quickly for faults very close to the generation (and relay) point, for which very
high fault currents are characteristic.
The instantaneous phase overcurrent protection 3-phase output PHPIOC can operate in 10 ms
for faults characterized by very high currents.

Application manual
Only detailed network studies can determine the operating conditions under which the
highest possible fault current is expected on the line. In most cases, this current appears
during three-phase fault conditions. But also examine single-phase-to-earth and two-phase-
to-earth conditions.
Also study transients that could cause a high increase of the line current for short times. A
typical example is a transmission line with a power transformer at the remote end, which can
cause high inrush current when connected to the network and can thus also cause the
operation of the built-in, instantaneous, overcurrent protection.
GlobalBaseSel: Selects the global base value group used by the function to define (IBase),
(UBase) and (SBase).
OpMode: This parameter can be set to 2 out of 3 or 1 out of 3. The setting controls the
minimum number of phase currents that must be larger than the set operate current IP>> for
operation. Normally this parameter is set to 1 out of 3and will thus detect all fault types. If the
protection is to be used mainly for multi phase faults, 2 out of 3 should be chosen.

connected to the same busbars. In this case the influence of the induced fault current from the

Application
M15335-3 v8
The Four step phase overcurrent protection 3-phase output OC4PTOC is used in several
applications in the power system. Some applications are:
•
Short circuit protection of feeders in distribution and subtransmission systems. Normally
these feeders have radial structure.
•
Back-up short circuit protection of transmission lines.
•
Back-up short circuit protection of power transformers.
•
Short circuit protection of different kinds of equipment connected to the power system
such as; shunt capacitor banks, shunt reactors, motors and others.
•
Back-up short circuit protection of power generators.
If VT inputs are not available or not connected, setting parameter DirModex (x
= step 1, 2, 3 or 4) shall be left to default value Non-directional.
In many applications several steps with different current pick up levels and time delays are
needed. OC4PTOC can have up to four different, individual settable, steps.The flexibility of
each step of OC4PTOC is great. The following options are possible:
Non-directional / Directional function: In most applications the non-directional functionality is
used. This is mostly the case when no fault current can be fed from the protected object itself.
In order to achieve both selectivity and fast fault clearance, the directional function can be
necessary.
Choice of delay time characteristics: There are several types of delay time characteristics
available such as definite time delay and different types of inverse time delay characteristics.
The selectivity between different overcurrent protections is normally enabled by co-ordination
between the function time delays of the different protections. To enable optimal co-ordination
between all overcurrent protections, they should have the same time delay characteristic.
Therefore a wide range of standardized inverse time characteristics are available: IEC and
ANSI. It is also possible to tailor make the inverse time characteristic.
Normally it is required that the phase overcurrent protection shall reset as fast as possible
when the current level gets lower than the operation level. In some cases some sort of delayed
reset is required. Therefore different kinds of reset characteristics can be used.
For some protection applications there can be a need to change the current pick-up level for
some time. A typical case is when the protection will measure the current to a large motor. At
the start up sequence of a motor the start current can be significantly larger than the rated
current of the motor. Therefore there is a possibility to give a setting of a multiplication factor
1MRK 504 158-UEN A
Section 7
Current protection
89
Application manual
to the current pick-up level. This multiplication factor is activated from a binary input signal to
the function.
Power transformers can have a large inrush current, when being energized. This phenomenon
is due to saturation of the transformer magnetic core during parts of the period. There is a
risk that inrush current will reach levels above the pick-up current of the phase overcurrent
protection. The inrush current has a large 2nd harmonic content. This can be used to avoid
unwanted operation of the protection. Therefore, OC4PTOC have a possibility of 2nd harmonic
restrain if the level of this harmonic current reaches a value above a set percentage of the
fundamental current.
The phase overcurrent protection is often used as protection for two and three phase short
circuits. In some cases it is not wanted to detect single-phase earth faults by the phase
overcurrent protection. This fault type is detected and cleared after operation of earth fault
protection. Therefore it is possible to make a choice how many phases, at minimum, that have
to have current above the pick-up level, to enable operation. If set 1 of 3 it is sufficient to have
high current in one phase only. If set 2 of 3 or 3 of 3 single-phase earth faults are not detected.

Setting guidelines
IP14982-1 v1
M12982-4 v14
When inverse time overcurrent characteristic is selected, the operate time of
the stage will be the sum of the inverse time delay and the set definite time
delay. Thus, if only the inverse time delay is required, it is important to set the
definite time delay for that stage to zero.
The parameters for the directional phase overcurrent protection, four steps OC4PTOC are set
via the local HMI or PCM600.
The following settings can be done for OC4PTOC.
GlobalBaseSel: Selects the global base value group used by the function to define (IBase),
(UBase) and (SBase).
MeasType: Selection of discrete Fourier filtered (DFT) or true RMS filtered (RMS) signals. RMS
is used when the harmonic contents are to be considered, for example in applications with
shunt capacitors.
Operation: The protection can be set to On or Off.
AngleRCA: Protection characteristic angle set in degrees. If the angle of the fault loop current
has the angle RCA, the direction to the fault is forward.
AngleROA: Angle value, given in degrees, to define the angle sector of the directional function,
shown in Figure 39.
StartPhSel: Number of phases, with high current, required for operation. The setting
possibilities are: 1 out of 3, 2 out of 3 and 3 out of 3. The default setting is 1 out of 3.
IMinOpPhSel: Minimum current setting level for releasing the directional start signals in % of
IB. This setting should be less than the lowest step setting. The default setting is 7% of IB.
2ndHarmStab: Operate level of 2nd harmonic current restrain set in % of the fundamental
current. The setting range is 5 - 100% in steps of 1%. The default setting is 20%.

The delay characteristics are described in Technical manual. There are some restrictions

For ANSI inverse time characteristics, all three types of reset time characteristics are available:
instantaneous (1), IEC (2 = set constant time reset) and ANSI (3 = current dependent reset
time).
For IEC inverse time characteristics, the possible delay time settings are instantaneous (1) and
IEC (2 = set constant time reset).
For the customer tailor-made inverse time delay characteristics (type 17), all three types of
reset time characteristics are available: instantaneous (1), IEC (2 = set constant time reset) and
ANSI (3 = current dependent reset time). If the current-dependent type is used, settings pr, tr
and cr must be given.
tResetx: Constant reset time delay in seconds for step x.
tPCrvx, tACrvx, tBCrvx, tCCrvx: These parameters are used by the customer to create the
inverse time characteristic curve. See equation 23 for the time characteristic equation. For

HarmRestrainx: Enables the block of step x from the harmonic restrain function (2nd

power transformer inrush currents. It can be set to Off/On.
7.2.3.2
2nd harmonic restrain
M12982-91 v8
If a power transformer is energized there is a risk that the transformer core will saturate
during part of the period, resulting in an inrush transformer current. This will give a declining
residual current in the network, as the inrush current is deviating between the phases. There is
a risk that the phase overcurrent function will give an unwanted trip. The inrush current has a
relatively large ratio of 2nd harmonic component. This component can be used to create a
restrain signal to prevent this unwanted function.
The settings for the 2nd harmonic restrain are described below.
2ndHarmStab: The rate of 2nd harmonic current content for activation of the 2nd harmonic
restrain signal, to block chosen steps. The setting is given in % of the fundamental frequency
residual current. The setting range is 5 - 100% in steps of 1%. The default setting is 20% and
can be used if a deeper investigation shows that no other value is needed..
HarmRestrainx: This parameter can be set Off/On, to disable or enable the 2nd harmonic
restrain.
The four step phase overcurrent protection 3-phase output can be used in different ways,
depending on the application where the protection is used. A general description is given
below.
The operating current setting of the inverse time protection, or the lowest current step of the
definite time protection, must be defined so that the highest possible load current does not
cause protection operation. Here consideration also has to be taken to the protection reset
current, so that a short peak of overcurrent does not cause operation of the protection even
when the overcurrent has ceased. This phenomenon is described in figure 41.
