High-impedance principle
High-impedance principle is stable for all types of faults outside the zone of
protection. The stabilization is obtained by a stabilizing resistor in the differential
circuit. This method requires that all the CTs used have a similar magnetizing
characteristic, same ratio and relatively high knee point voltage. CTs on each sides
are connected in parallel along with a relay-measuring branch as shown in
Figure
298
. The measuring branch is a series connection of stabilizing resistor and IED.
