SYSTEM CHAPTER 4: SETPOINTS
To compute differential and restraint currents, the 845 relay uses Winding 1 phase-phase
voltage and the primary CT rating from the Signal input used for Winding 1. The 845
relay
computes magnitude compensation factors for Winding 2 and Winding 3 currents as
shown below:

Currents
The purpose of the tap changer installed on one of the transformer windings is to maintain
transformer output voltage within a certain bandwidth. To do this, the tap changer either
increases or decreases the turns of that winding i.e., changes its phase-phase voltage,
which in return leads to a different transformation ratio. When the transformation ratio is
changed, the nominal currents of the windings change as well, meaning that the
computation for CT mismatch based on the initially entered CT and ph-ph voltage per
winding, will be different, than the actual CT mismatch. This mismatch will appear as
differential current.
To compensate for the differential current, in cases of installed tap changer causing the
winding voltage to either go higher or lower than the nominal winding voltage entered in
the setpoints, the 845
provides dynamic CT mismatch compensation based on detection
of tap position.
The algorithm checks if the Tap Changer function is “Enabled”, and on which winding it is
installed. To determine the winding, the algorithm checks which winding has the same
selection of Signal input as the one selected for the tap changer.
If the Signal input selected for the OLTC (Onload Tap Changer) is the same as the one for
the reference winding, the magnitude compensation factors for each non-reference
winding will be computed using the following equation.
