Zero-sequence current differential protection (DIFGL)
Zero-sequence current differential protection (DIFGL) function is provided to enhance
sensitivity upon occurrence of an earth fault having high impedance. To perform sensitive
protection in the DIFGL function, residual current (Ie) is applied. Note that the residual
current is introduced by the CT for the residual circuit.
2.3.1 Differential protection characteristics (DIFGL)
(i) Ir-Id plane for DIFGL function
Figure 2.3-1 shows the percentage restraining characteristic in the DIFGL element.
Differential current (I
d0
) denotes a vector summation of the residual currents in all terminals;
restraining current (I
r0
) denotes a scalar summation of the residual currents in all terminals.
The I
d0
and I
r0
currents are also derived using Equations (2.3-1) and (2.3-2):
