PROCEDURE FOR
BUSBAR DIFFERENTIAL STABILITY


1. Check the polarity P1-P2 and S1-S2 for the Incomer panel and the feeder
panel physically and verify it as per the drawing.
2. Check the CT ratio of Bus differential core for Incomer is same as for the
Feeder.
3. Connect the primary injection kit one end of the cable to Phase A of the
Incomer Panel and other end of the cable to Phase A of the feeder panel.
4. The circulation of the current should flow from the incomer secondary to the
feeder secondary current circuit.
5. Check the FT switches links for the corresponding CT circuits are closed.
6. Inject 10% (for eg. Say 50A and ct ratio 500/5A) of the current through the
test kit.
7. Measure the current flowing thro FT in Incomer Panel A Phase CT circuit.
(Approximately it will come 0.5 A)
8. Measure the current flowing thro FT in the Feeder panel A phase CT circuit.
(Approximately it will come 0.5 A).
9. Measure the Current flowing in the Relay is 0 Amps and the relay will not
sense any fault current for trip. This shows the Stability of the Differential
relay.
10. Switch off the primary injection test kit.
11. Now to check the operation of the relay, swap the polarity S1-S2 for any one
the incomer CT circuit or the feeder CT circuit.
12. Inject the current again in the same phase; the relay will operate to trip the
circuit. Measure the current in the Relay (Approximately it will come 1A), it
reads summation of the incomer and feeder secondary current to operate the
relay. This shows the Sensitivity of the Differential relay.
13. Turn off the Injection test kit.
14. Normalize the CT circuit back as per the system.
15. Similarly follow the above same procedure for B phase and C phase and also
for the other Outgoing feeders
