The basic operating principle of the percent differential element can be described by the following diagram and
its associated equations:
Figure 5–6: PERCENT DIFFERENTIAL OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Restraint current calculations have been changed from
average
to
maximum
to provide better
security during external faults.
where
I
restraint
= per-phase
maximum
of the currents after phase, ratio, and zero-sequence correction
I
differential
= per-phase
vector sum
of currents after phase, ratio, and zero-sequence correction
In the above equations, the 180° phase shift due to the wiring connections is taken into account, hence
the + sign to obtain the differential current.
