How should I connect the T60 CT terminals to the secondary circuits of

the main CTs?

Normally, the T60 relay requires the main CT to be wye-connected. When the
relay is connected as recommended, the T60 Percent Differential algorithm, performs
magnitude and phase shift compensations, and under normal conditions displays zero
differential current.
In some cases where the T60 relay is to substitute an old analog transformer
protection relay, the customer should take an action to reconnect the CT secondary
circuits to match the requirement described above.
An alternative way is to connect the secondary circuits to perform external ratio
and vector group compensation, and setting the relay to External compensation.
For any given CT connection and transformer type, an advanced user can analyze
the currents and figure out a transformer type setting that would force the T60 relay to
perform correct operations that would take into account other then wye connections of
the main CTs. For correct metering purposes and to reduce chances for miswiring, wye
connections of the main CTs are, however, strongly recommended.
The figure below illustrates the T60 metering and connection conventions.

as shown in the picture with reference to phase A.
