The restricted earth fault protection is not affected, as a differential protection, with
the following power transformer related phenomena:
• magnetizing inrush currents
•
overexcitation magnetizing currents
• load tap changer
• external and internal phase faults which do not involve earth
• symmetrical overload conditions
Due to its features, REFPDIF is often used as a main protection of the transformer
winding for all faults involving earth.

The most common application is on a solidly earthed transformer winding. The
connection is shown in Figure
