Figure 5-123: Stator differential characteristic
This element has a dual slope characteristic. The main purpose of the percent-slope characteristic is to prevent a
maloperation caused by unbalances between CTs during external faults. CT unbalances arise as a result of the following
factors:
•
CT accuracy errors
•
CT saturation
The characteristic allows for very sensitive settings when fault current is low and less sensitive settings when fault current
is high and CT performance can produce incorrect operate signals.
STATOR DIFF LINE END SOURCE
— This setting selects the source connected to CTs in the end of the machine stator winding
closest to the load and farthest from the winding neutral point. Wire both line and neutral-side CTs to measure their
currents in the same direction with respect to the neutral point of the winding.
If the two-speed motor functionality is employed with two separate CTs at each speed, the source that is sum of currents
of two CT banks at line side should be assigned with this setting for proper differential functionality.
STATOR DIFF NEUTRAL END SOURCE
— Selects the source connected to CTs in the end of the machine stator winding farthest
from the load and closest to the winding neutral point. Wire both line and neutral-side CTs to measure their currents in the
same direction with respect to the neutral point of the winding.
STATOR DIFF PICKUP
— Defines the minimum differential current required for operation. This setting is based on the amount
of differential current that can be seen under normal operating conditions. A setting of 0.1 to 0.3 pu is generally
recommended.
STATOR DIFF SLOPE 1
— This setting is applicable for restraint currents from zero to
STATOR DIFF BREAK 1
, and it defines the
ratio of differential to restraint current above which the element operates. This slope is set to ensure sensitivity to internal
faults at normal operating current levels. The criteria for setting this slope is to allow for maximum expected CT mismatch
error when operating at the maximum permitted current. This maximum error is generally in the range of 5 to 10% of CT
rating.
STATOR DIFF BREAK 1
— Defines the end of the Slope 1 region and the start of the transition region. Set it just above the
maximum normal operating current level of the machine.
STATOR DIFF SLOPE 2
— This setting is applicable for restraint currents above the
STATOR DIFF BREAK 2
setting when the
element is applied to generator stator windings. This slope is set to ensure stability under heavy external fault conditions
that can lead to high differential currents as a result of CT saturation. A setting of 80 to 100% is recommended. The
transition region (as shown on the characteristic plot) is a cubic spline, automatically calculated by the relay to result in a
smooth transition between
STATOR DIFF SLOPE 1
and
STATOR DIFF SLOPE 2
with no discontinuities.
STATOR DIFF BREAK 2
— This setting defines the end of the transition region and the start of the Slope 2 region. Set it to the
level at which any of the protection CTs are expected to begin to saturate.
