7SG12 DAD N Applications Guide
The maximum voltage which can appear across the Relay for a through fault coincident with CT saturation
is:
))R x (2 (R x I (V) V leadctaultMaxSecExtFmax
Where:
I
MaxSecExtFault
= Maximum secondary external (through) fault current = I
MaxPriExtFaul
x CT Ratio
R
ct
= CT secondary winding resistance
R
lead
= Maximum lead resistance in parallel with the Relay circuit
Relay
Presuming leads are of the same cable type
the maximum lead resistance will be that of
the longest lead from CT to Relay circuit

So that R

+ R
ct
+ R
lead
is the total resistance in parallel with the Relay.
There will be some lead resistance between the Relay and the closest CT, but this is generally ignored to
give the most onerous operating conditions.
If I
MaxPriExtFault
is not known, the breaking capacity current of the Circuit Breaker can be used.
The value of R
stab
must be such that the current flowing through the Relay at this voltage is less than the
protection pick-up setting, I
s
.
I
s
must be chosen so that the protection will operate for all internal fault currents. Sensitivity is achieved
by ensuring that I
s
is such that the protection will operate at the correct level of primary fault current. See
Section 3.3 “Fault Setting”.

Where:

For the DAD-N, this will be so small that it can be ignored
