5 The interval when
IdMinHigh
is active is set to 60 s because a power transformer is included in
the protected zone. As both IEDs process the same currents, both must have the same value
set for
IdMinHigh
.

The unrestrained operate (differential) current limit should greater than the highest through fault
current. This current appears at a three-phase short circuit on the 33 kV side of the transformer
and can be calculated as:

protected zone.
