Transformer application example
Two main cases are of interest when residual overcurrent protection is used for a
power transformer, namely if residual current can be fed from the protected
transformer winding or not.
The protected winding will feed earth-fault (residual) current to earth faults in the
connected power system. The residual current fed from the transformer at external
phase-to-earth faults is highly dependent on the total positive and zero-sequence
source impedances. It is also dependent on the residual current distribution between
the network zero-sequence impedance and the transformer zero-sequence impedance.
An example of this application is shown in Figure
.

Residual overcurrent protection application on a directly earthed
transformer winding
In this case the protection has two different tasks:
•
Detection of earth faults on the transformer winding.
•
Detection of earth faults in the power system.
It can be suitable to use a residual overcurrent protection with at least two steps. Step
1 shall have a short definite time delay and a relatively high current setting, in order
to detect and clear high current earth faults in the transformer winding or in the power
system close to the transformer. Step 2 shall have a longer time delay (definite or
inverse time delay) and a lower current operation level. Step 2 shall detect and clear
