fault in the transformer
Inrush current in power transformers
Saturation of current transformers
Overexcitation

harmonic component in the

ABB Power Technologies AB, 2005

Transformer inrush currents contain a percentage of second


harmonic current. This is used for discrimination but second
harmonic blocking normally causes delayed operation in case of
CT saturation. It is also possible to monitor the shape of the
differential current signal. The low-current gap measurement
indicates inrush.

Negative sequence current function - summary


Fast operating times half cycle
Start from ordinary differential protection
required, but blocking conditions are bypassed
Sensitive negative sequence protection
Gives sensitive turn-to-turn fault protection
The trip request must be confirmed several
times in succession before the final trip request
is placed this security feature causes an
increase in the operating time

ABB Power Technologies AB, 2005

The operating time is about 30ms for very lowlevel turn-to-turn faults
This sensitive negative sequence protection is
blocked for high fault current conditions
