Explanations on the Connection and Current-Direction Definition
Uniform reference arrows and transformer burdens are defined for the SIPROTEC 5 device series. These agree-
ments also apply to the transformer protection devices. The special handling of the neutral-point current
described previously is a result of this.
The current definition states that the sum of the currents flowing into the protected object is equal to 0 (

= 0 or I

). The protected object is located to the right or left of the transformer set. The
following basic connections result from this.

Figure 6-274 Current-Transformer Connection (2) According to Definition
The following connection is defined for the transformer according to Figure 6-275. The current flow for an
external ground fault is entered at the same time. It is recognized that the secondary currents each flow from
the device. From this, a differential current (I
