This setting shall take into account the fundamental frequency line charging current, and whether a
power transformer is included in the protected zone or not.
If the charging current compensation is enabled, the setting of IdMin shall be:
IdMin ICharge, and if it is disabled: IdMin 2.5
As per the given data, Cable charging current is 2.87A/km and line length is 1.69km. (Kindly confirm
the length before commissioning)
Hence charging current = 2.87x1.69
= 4.8503A, which is 4.8503/400 = 0.0121 times the base current (400A).
As we are keeping charging current compensation ON, Idmin should be greater than Icharge
Hence Idmin 0.0121,
With some margin, it is recommended to set 0.2 times the Ibase.
Hence Ibase has been set for 0.2.
IdMinHigh:
This is a setting that is used to temporarily decrease the sensitivity in situations when:
1. The line is energized
2. When a fault is classified as external
3. When a tap transformer is switched in
Energizing a line will cause transient charging currents to appear. Generally speaking, these currents
are differential currents, but as they are rich on harmonics, they will only partly be measured by the
differential protection which in this case measures the Fourier filtered differential current. Desensitizing
the differential protection in this situation by using IdMinHigh instead of IdMin is a safety precaution
and a setting of 1.0 IBase should be suitable in most cases to cover number 1 above.
Number 2 means that IdMin is substituted by IdMinHigh whenever a fault is classified as external by
the internal/external fault discriminator. Also here, it is an extra safety precaution to desensitize the
differential protection, and a setting of 1.00 IBase can normally be used.
tIdMinHigh:
Time interval of initial lower sensitivity, in sec.
IdUnre:
Values of differential currents above the unrestrained limit will give a trip disregarding all other
criteria i.e. irrespective of the internal/external fault discriminator and any presence of harmonics. It
is intended for fast tripping of internal faults with high fault currents.
It has been set for 10 times the base current. It can be adjusted based on fault level.

ChargCurEnable:
Compensation for charging currents can be selected active or not by setting ChargCurEnableYes or
No. The compensation works such that the fundamental frequency differential current that is
measured under steady state undisturbed conditions, is identified and then subtracted making the
resulting differential current zero (or close to zero). This action is made separately for each phase. It
has been set ON (Yes).
EndSection1 set as a multiple of IBase:
The default value 1.25 is generally recommended. If the conditions are known more in detail, other
values can be chosen in order to increase or decrease the sensitivity.
EndSection2 set as a multiple of IBase:
The default value 3.00 is generally recommended. If the conditions are known more in detail, other
values
can be chosen in order to increase or decrease the sensitivity.
SlopeSection2 set as a percentage value: [Operate current/Restrain current]
The default value 40.0 is generally recommended. If the conditions are known more in detail, other
values can be chosen in order to increase or decrease the sensitivity.
SlopeSection3 set as a percentage value: [Operate current/Restrain current]
The default value 80.0 is generally recommended. If the conditions are known more in detail, other
values can be chosen in order to increase or decrease the sensitivity.
2nd and 5th harmonic analysis:
When the harmonic content is above the set level, the restrained differential operation is blocked.
However, if a fault has been classified as internal by the negative sequence fault discriminator, any
harmonic restraint is overridden. (Exemption: Classification as internal fault at the same time as the
harmonic content is above set level and the differential current is below IdMinHigh, will not cause a
trip).
I2/I1Ratio:
Set as a percentage value: [I2/I1 100%]
The set value is the ratio of the second harmonic of the differential current to the fundamental
frequency of the differential current.
Transformer inrush currents cause high degrees of second harmonic in the differential current. The
default value of 15% serves as a reliable value to detect power transformer inrush currents as the
content at this phenomenon is always higher than 23%.

Also CT saturation causes second harmonics of considerable value on the CT secondary side, which
will contribute to the stabilization of the relay at through fault conditions. It is therefore strongly
recommended to maintain a sensitive setting of the I2/I1Ratio also when a power transformer is not
included in the protected zone.
I5/I1Ratio:
Set as a percentage value: [I5/I1 100%]
The set value is the ratio of the fifth harmonic of the differential current to the fundamental frequency
of the differential current. A 20 30% over excitation of a transformer can cause an increase in the
excitation current of 10 to 100 times the normal value. This excitation current is a true differential
current if the transformer is inside the protected zone. It will have a high degree of fifth harmonic, and
the default setting of 25% will be suitable in most cases to detect the phenomenon. As CT saturation
will also cause fifth harmonics on the secondary side, it is recommended to maintain this setting of
25% even if no power transformer is included in the protected zone, similar to what was said above
about the second harmonic setting.
