Summation principle is mainly intended for two-zone busbar protection applications.
6.1.6.1 Introduction
M12135-3 v4
A simplified bus differential protection for phase and earth faults can be obtained by using a
single one-phase IED with external auxiliary summation current transformers for all busbar
arrangements with up to two differential zones. By using this approach, more cost effective
bus differential protection can be obtained. Such a solution makes it feasible to apply bus
differential protection even to medium voltage substations. The principal differences between
full, phase-segregated bus differential protection scheme and summation type bus differential
protection scheme are shown in Figure 81 .

Figure 81: Difference between phase segregated & summation type differential
protection
In the full phase-segregated design, three one-phase REB670 IEDs (that is, one per phase) are
used. However for the summation type only single one-phase REB670 IED plus one auxiliary
summation CT per each main CT is required. These auxiliary summation CTs convert each main
CT three-phase currents to a single-phase output current, which are all measured by one
REB670 IED. The differential calculation is then made on a single-phase basis. By doing so, this
more cost effective bus differential protection can be applied. Due to this characteristic, this
summation type of bus differential protection can be applied for all types of stations
