Operating Principle
Differential protective functions are a selective unit protection system against 2 phase
and 3 phase short circuits inside the protective area which is restricted by the CT's
involved.
Also winding short circuits and two point earth faults if one point is inside the
protective are are detected.
The measuring principle is based on the current vector differential computation within
the protected zone of the relevant sets of CT's.
The picture below shows the stabilizing of the function with the restraint current which
is computed from the 1st harmonic currents of system 1.

In protection calculation there are two different relative systems (pU systems). One
system is based on generator nominal data, the other is based on protection
nominal data, which is equal to CT and VT primary data. Therefore a
"Compensation factor" is used to convert between these two different systems.

The out of step function is a 3-phase 1-stage relay with blocking at occurrence of
negative phase sequence currents and undervoltage.
It calculates the impedance vector with the positive sequence voltages and currents.
The relay supervises the movement of the vector and by detecting of a trigger
condition a trip will be initiated.

Operating Principle
During stator earth fault the current is limited by a resistor in the neutral circuit. The
earth fault current through the generator is measured by the "generator ground CT".
This CT is connected to a single phase Overcurrent function to detect a stator earth
fault.

Operating Principle
The stator earth fault protection is used to detect earth faults in the stator winding by
evaluating the 3rd harmonic in the generator voltage.
The distribution of the 3rd harmonic over neutral and terminal side is taken for the
evaluation of earth faults close to the generator neutral. The 3rd harmonic is
measured in the generator neutral with the star point transformer and on the
generator terminals with the open delta VT.
In case of an earth fault, the 3rd harmonic in the neutral is shorted whereby the
value on the generator terminals is increased by the same value.
Setting Calculation
The correct settings have to be determined on site during earth fault tests. For this
purpose different measurements of the 3rd harmonic in the generator neutral and
on the generator terminals have to be done in dependence of different generator
loads for the healthy condition and for an earth fault.
There should be a difference between the measured values for the healthy
condition and for the case of an earth fault. The setting of the operate value has to
be chosen to be inside this gap. If this is not possible, also the ratio can be changed
to improve the situation.

Operating Principle
The Breaker Failure Function detects the malfunction of 52G - opening. As a result,
the next breaker (52L) will be tripped. The malfunction is detected by supervision of
the generator current, that means after tripping of the breaker, the current must
decrease to a very low level. The function is realized by an overcurrent function
which is always blocked with the signal "Breaker Failure" and is only active during a
trip of the breaker 52G.
Additional to the current function which works only with current, a digital
signalfunction is added, which starts with the inverted "Breaker Failure" signal and
will stop with the "CB open" feedback from the breaker.

The Voltage Balance Function detects a fault at the voltage transformer or the
connection to the voltage transformer by comparing the three phases of the voltage
inputs.
The function calculates the negative phase sequence voltage and the output will be
active if this level is higher than the selected pickup level.
The function will be blocked if the negative phase sequence of the current input will
exceed the pickup level, to prevent a malfunction during a real short circuit in the
plant.

Operating Principle
The connected CT's define the protective range.
The differential protection function is used as selective protection in case of
interwinding faults and in low impedance earthed systems in case of earth faults. The
measuring principle is to form the difference between the CT secondary currents at
either end of the protected zone.
All analog signals of the function are sampled 12 times per cycle. Vector group
compensation is traced digitally, according to the vector group set in the parameter
field. As a result, the currents from all sides of the protected object are available in
the proper phase angle for further processing. Any zero sequence currents that
possibly occur on the protected object are compensated by activating the zero
sequence filter.
The ratio settings "CT ratio compensation" take account of the transformer ratio and
the CT ratio.
The measured values are then added, phase by phase, to the differential current.
The fundamental wave as well as the 2nd harmonic and the 5th harmonic of the
differential current are then calculated, phase by phase.
All current inputs of the differential protection determine the restraint current, phase
by phase. It is the maximum value of the fundamental wave of the currents.
If the tripping condition is met within 24 consecutive samples, the signals "tripping"
and "differential current" in the trip matrix are activated.
The tripping of a phase is blocked whenever the ratio between 2nd harmonic or 5th
harmonic and fundamental wave of the differential current exceeds the values set in
the parameter filed. As a result any false tripping of the differential protection is
prevented when energizing a transformer.
In case of a system disturbance, currents with a higher harmonic contents can also
appear. Whenever the differential current exceeds the value set for parameter
"high-set overcurrent", the harmonic restraint is blocked, phase by phase,
irrespective of the higher harmonic contents; eventually tripping is enabled, phase by
phase. Function output "restraint" indicated the condition of the restraint feature.
The trip output is reset whenever the initiating signal has disappeared during 36
consecutive samples.

Operating Principle
Transformer restricted earth fault protection detects an earth fault within the
protection range and is stable against faults outside this range. The function is
connected to the zero sequence system of the main transformer HV CT and the main
transformer neutral CT. These CT's cover the protection range. The protective
function is realized with a transformer differential function. The advantage is the bias
of this function, to make 64T.REF stable against errors of the CT 's.
The analog signals of the function are sampled 12 times per cycle. The
corresponding vectors (value and phase) for 1st harmonic (nominal frequency) are
calculated with Fourier analysis. For each sample the differential signals are
calculated for each phase and checked whether the setting value has been
exceeded.
If during 11 consecutive samples (0.9 cycles) the values are above the setting the trip
output in the trip matrix is active.
If during 36 consecutive samples (3 cycles) the initiating conditions are no longer
fulfilled the trip output in the trip matrix will reset.

The Overfluxing protection is a single phase system. The supplied voltage signal is

are determined, using the Fourier transformation and subsequently the value V/f is
