Figure 38: Trajectories of Negative Sequence Current Contributions from HV and LV sides of
Yd5 power transformer during external fault
Under external fault conditions, the relative angle is theoretically equal to 180 degrees. During
internal faults, the angle shall ideally be 0 degrees, but due to possible different negative
sequence source impedance angles on the W1 and W2 sides of the protected power transformer, it
may differ somewhat from the ideal zero value. However, during heavy faults, CT saturation might
cause the measured phase angle to differ from 180 degrees for an external, and from 0 degrees
for an internal fault. See figure 39 for an example of a heavy internal fault with transient CT
saturation.
