High Impedance Differential Non-linear Resistors
During internal faults the high impedance relay circuit offers an excessive burden to the CT‟s.
A very high voltage develops across the relay circuit and the CT‟s.
Can cause damage to insulation of CT, secondary winding and relay.
Magnitude of peak voltage VP is given by an approximate formula (based on experimental results) VP = 22 [VK (VF - VK)]
Where VF = Max. prospective voltage in the absence of saturation. (= IFmax . Relay circuit total impedance)

Biased Differential Protection © 2007 Protection Engineering And Research Laboratories
17th March 2007 56
Differential Protection
Phase differential protection may be justified for larger transformers (generally > 5MVA).
Provides fast operation on any winding
Measuring principle :
Based on the same circulating current principle as the restricted earth fault protection
However, it employs the biasing technique, to maintain stability for heavy through fault current
Biasing allows mismatch between CT outputs.
Biasing is essential for transformers with tap changing facility.
Another important requirement of transformer differential protection is immunity to magnetising in rush current.

Correct application of differential protection requires CT ratio and winding connections to match those of transformer.
CT secondary circuit should be a “replica” of primary system.

Differential Protection Example 2 It is a normal practice to connect 11kV C.T.‟s in “Star” and utilise a
“Star”/”Delta” interposing C.T. (this
method reduces lead VA burden on the line C.T.‟s). Current from 66kV side = 4.37 A Thus, current required from “Delta” winding of ICT = 4.37A Current input to “Star” winding of ICT = 4.92 A Required ICT ratio = 4.92 / (4.37 /3) = 4.92 / 2.52 Can also be expressed as 5 / 2.56 © 2007 Protection Engineering And Research Laboratories
