Section 5
SETTINGS
When protecting a power transformer, the differential setting should not be less than
20% of the relay rated current, to give stability for moderate transient overfluxing.
The maximum spill current with through load current should generally be kept below
20% of relay rated current, allowing for CT mismatch and possible tap changer
operation. This may be achieved either by appropriate choice of main line current
transformers, or by the use of interposing transformers, as descibed in Section 4.
Where higher levels of spill current exist, the relay setting may need to be increased.
