Winding #1: 100 MVA, 220 kV, 250/1 CT ratio (rated current is 262.4 A, hence CT ratio of 250/1)
Winding #2: 100 MVA, 69 kV, 1000/1 CT ratio (rated current is 836.8 A, hence CT ratio of 1000/1)
The 1000/1 CT ratio is not a perfect match for the 250/1 ratio. The high-side CT produces a secondary current
of 262.5/250 = 1.05 A whereas the low-side CT produces a current of 0.837 A. The 745 automatically applies
an amplitude correction factor to the Winding 2 currents to match them to the Winding 1 currents. The following
illustrates how the correction factor is computed:
The mismatch factor is therefore
Winding 2 currents are divided by this factor to obtain balanced conditions for the differential elements.
If this transformer were on line, fully loaded, and protected by a properly set 745 relay, the actual current val-
ues read by the relay would be:
Winding 1: 262.5 A
∠
0° (this is the reference winding)
Winding 2: 836.8 A
∠
210° (30° lag due to transformer and 180° lag due to CT connections)
Differential current: less than 0.03
×
CT as the two winding currents are equal once correctly transformed
inside the relay.
The loading of each winding would be 100% of rated.
The above results can be verified with two adjustable sources of three-phase current. With a single current
source, how the relay performs the necessary phase angle corrections must be taken into account. Table 5–1:
TRANSFORMER TYPES on page 5–10 shows that the Y-side currents are shifted by 30° to match the Delta
secondary side. The 30° phase shift is obtained from the equations below:
By injecting a current into phase A of Winding 1 and phase A of Winding 2 only,

we assume an injected current of 1

CT, the
transformed Y-side currents will be:
For the purposes of the differential elements only , the transformation has reduced the current to 0.57 times its
original value into phase A, and created an apparent current into phase B, for the described injection condition.
If a 1

phases should be obtained:

b) EFFECTS OF ZERO-SEQUENCE COMPONENT REMOVAL
The transformation used to obtain the 30° phase shift on the Y-side automatically removes the
zero-sequence current from those signals. The 745 always removes the zero-sequence cur-
rent from the delta winding currents.
If the zero-sequence component is removed from the Delta-side winding currents, the Winding 2 current values
will change under unbalanced conditions. Consider again the case described above, with the 1

into phase A of Winding 2.
