2.5 Restricted Earth Fault Protection (optional)
The restricted earth fault protection detects earth faults in power transformers, the
starpoint of which is led to earth. It is also suitable when a starpoint former is installed
within a protected zone of a non-earthed power transformer. A precondition is that a
current transformer is installed in the starpoint connection, i.e. between the starpoint
and the earthing electrode. The starpoint CT and the phase CTs define the limits of the
protected zone exactly.
2.5.1 Application Examples
Figures 2-25 and 2-26 show two application examples. A prerequisite is that the I4
transformer detects the starpoint current of the transformer side to be protected.
