Currents from the secondary and tertiary windings of the power transformer are connected to one
line differential protection IED. Currents for each CT group are sent to the IED at station A by the
LDCM. To inform the differential algorithm that currents are coming from the LV sides of the
transformers, TraAOnInpCh must be set to 2 and TraBOnInpCh to 3 (channel1 is reserved for local
measurement). This is to ensure that proper turn ratio and vector group correction is done.
4.7.2 Line differential protection L4CPDIF
4.7.2.1 Setting example with a two-end power line
GUID-4C105C98-F9FE-41B3-A7E0-FC5430EC141A v2
In this example, a two-end 220 kV and 200 km power line is protected using L4CPDIF.
The protected zone is determined by CT positions. One three-phase CT group is placed at one end
of the power line, and another three-phase CT group is placed at the other end. Everything that is
placed between these two CT groups (including CBs) are included in the protected zone.
To apply the exact (voltage-based) method of charging current compensation, the power line's
positive and zero-sequence capacitances must be known. If not known, the approximate method can
be applied instead.
Table

processed.
