ABB RELION REX640 - Example calculations for overexcitation protection

to be considered in a proper overexcitation protection of the transformer. Also,
measurement for the voltage must not be taken from any winding where OLTC is
located.
It is assumed that overexcitation is a symmetrical phenomenon caused by events
such as loss-of-load. A high phase-to-earth voltage does not mean overexcitation.
For example, in an unearthed power system, a single phase-to-earth fault means
high voltages of the healthy two phases to earth but no overexcitation on any
winding. The phase-to-phase voltages remain essentially unchanged. An important
voltage to be considered for the overexcitation is the voltage between the two ends
of each winding.
