the protection from operating during an overexcitation condition of a power
transformer. If the ratio of the 5
th
harmonic to the fundamental in the differential
current is above a settable limit, the operation is restrained. It is recommended to
use
I5/I1Ratio = 25% as default value if there are no special reasons to choose
another setting.
6.2.3.5 Protections based on the directional criterion
GUID-0C213808-629F-4A58-BB70-C37DBAFEEE1E v1
Two kinds of protections based on the directional criterion are integrated into the
railway differential protection function:
• The directional unrestrained differential protection
• The directional sensitive differential protection
These two subfunctions are based on the internal-external fault discriminator,
which is a supplementary criterion to the traditional differential protection. The
internal/external fault discriminator detects even minor faults, with a high
sensitivity and at high speed and, at the same time, discriminates between internal
and external faults with a high degree of dependability. The goal is to be able to
quickly switch off the faulty power transformer before the fault develops into a
severe one (for example, a fault involving the iron core). This feature should
always be used when protecting a railway power transformer (by setting
DirDiffEn
= On ).
