Figure 2.4-1 Differential element with CT saturation countermeasure
The algorithm used in this element is given by Equations (2.4-1) to (2.4-3):
where,
ΔId:
Change in the differential current Id
(ΔIp + ΔIn):
Change in the restraining current in the positive and negative half cycles
Id:
Differential current
Ip:
Sum of positive input currents
In:
Sum of negative input currents
m, m-1, m-2: Sampling timing
The SE will operate when the sum of the absolute values of the difference between the
instantaneous values of current data from one cycle is greater than a specified percentage of
minDIF-I.
where,
I j :
Current at j
minDIF-I:
A minimum value of between settings [DIFL-I1] and [DIFL-I2]
