7.4.2.6 CT earthing direction
To make the restricted earth fault protection REFPDIF operate correctly, the main
CTs are always supposed to be star -connected. The main CT's neutral (star) formation
can be positioned in either way,
ToObject or FromObject . However, internally
REFPDIF always uses reference directions towards the protected transformers, as
shown in Figure
76 . Thus the IED always measures the primary currents on all sides
and in the neutral of the power transformer with the same reference direction towards
the power transformer windings.
The earthing can be freely selected for each of the involved current transformers.
7.4.3 Setting guidelines
7.4.3.1 Setting and configuration
Recommendation for analog inputs
I3P: Neutral point current ( All analog inputs connected as 3Ph groups in ACT).
I3PW1CT1: Phase currents for winding 1 first current transformer set.
I3PW1CT2: Phase currents for winding1 second current transformer set for multi-
breaker arrangements. When not required configure input to "GRP-OFF".
