Evaluation of Measurement Quantities
The earth fault differential protection compares the fundamental component of the current flowing in the star-
point connection, which is designated as 3I
0
' in the following, with the fundamental component of the sum of
the phase currents designated in the following as 3I
0
”. Thus, the following applies (Figure 2-29):
3I

' acts as the tripping effect quantity. During a fault within the protected zone this current is always
present.
Figure 2-29 Principle of restricted earth fault protection
When an earth fault occurs outside the protected zone, a zero sequence current also flows though the phase
current transformers. This is, on the primary side, in counter-phase with the starpoint current and has equal
magnitude. Therefore, both the magnitude of the currents and their phase relationship are evaluated for re-
straint purposes. The following is defined:
A tripping current

and a stabilisation or restraining current
I

= k · ( |3I

where k is a stabilisation factor which will be explained below, at first we assume k = 1. I
REF
produces the trip-
ping effect quantity, I
Rest
counteracts this effect.
To illustrate the effect, have a look at the three important operating conditions with ideal and adapted measured
values:
