Operating characteristic
The restraint current in the case of a three-winding power
transformer is derived from the currents of two windings and not
three. In the interest of the best possible through-fault stability,
the two largest currents of the three windings are used for this
purpose.
The restrain current is either defined by the equation
a´´= oscIII
21H
for -90° < a < 90°
or is zero
