Furthermore it is necessary to consider magnetization effects, tap changer errors and further sources of errors.īecause of the necessary zero-sequence elimination, also residual currents inside the transformer will be eliminated, which further reduces the sensitivity in regard to line-to-earth faults. One main reason for this limited sensitivity is the square dependency of the differential current depending on the fault location on the winding, caused by the transformation between LV and HV side of the transformer. What is Restricted Earth Fault Protection and Why is it Necessary? For certain line-to-earth faults inside a transformer the transformer overall differential protection is not sensitive enough to detect them.
