Operating conditions of transformer Diff relay
Eng.Mohammad.A.Surrati
Operating conditions of transformer Diff relay A) Through-fault current under healthy conditions or on an external fault: • I2 reverses its direction (I2 = –I1) . • Both currents are equal in magnitude |I2| = |I1|. • IDiff = |I1 + I2| = |I1 – I1| = 0 . • IRest = |I1| + |I2| = |I1| + |I1| = 2·|I1| . • No tripping effect (IDiff = 0); restraint current (IRest) corresponds to twice the through flowing current. Eng.Mohammad.A.Surrati
Operating conditions of transformer Diff relay B) Internal fault, fed from each end (with equal currents ): • In this case, I2 = I1 in direction . • In magnitude |I2| = |I1| . • IDiff = |I1 + I2| = |I1 + I1| = 2·|I1| . • IRest = |I1| + |I2| = |I1| + |I1| = 2·|I1| . • Tripping effect (IDiff) and restraining (IRest) quantities are equal and correspond to the total fault current. Eng.Mohammad.A.Surrati
Operating conditions of transformer Diff relay C) Internal fault, fed from one end only: • In this case, I2 = 0 • IDiff = |I1 + I2| = |I1 + 0| = |I1| • IRest = |I1| + |I2| = |I1| + 0 = |I1| • Tripping effect (IDiff) and restraining (IRest) quantities are equal and correspond to the fault current fed from one side.

Arcing resistance is added to line impedance when fault is in the middle of the line which cause increase in line impedance . So then both relays .will see the fault as Z2 and give delay tripping Eng.Mohammad.A.Surrati
