1. Introduction. 1 Introduction
A modern transformer protection and control system has many features that reflect the trends of integration, such as:
Differential Protection for two or three winding transformer. Second Harmonic Blocking. Blocking Fifth Harmonic Blocking . Restricted Earth Fault Element. Phase Overcurrent Protection. Ground Overcurrent Protection.
Over/Under voltage Elements. Frequency Elements. Thermal Element. Element Events recorder. Fault recorder recorder. Applications base on the IEC61850 standard.
The new protection features must be tested in different system known conditions, which can influence both its performance and safety.
2. Protection Functions for Power
Transformer. 2.1 Transformer Differential Protection. It is the most important transformer protection function.
2.1 Transformer Differential Protection
Idiff = I1 + I2
The advantage of microprocessor technology is g p gy that each manufacturer defines their own algorithms, features and parameters to adjust the differential function.

Another point to consider is the new option to filter p p the zero sequence component of phase currents.
Transformer. 2.2 Blocking Function For harmonic blocking, the harmonic content of the differential current must exceed the individual threshold values Second Harmonic for inrush conditions Fifth Harmonic for overexcitation conditions.
Transformer. 2.3 Restricted Earth Fault Element. This element provides sensitive protection against ground faults in wye-connected transformer winding. winding
Transformer. 2.4 Phase and Ground Overcurrent Protection. IED provides numerous overcurrent elements id t l t per winding. Phase, Ph ground d or negative ti sequence instantaneous/definite time elements are available for single- or three-pole feeder single three pole protection, breaker failure protection, transformer backup protection, etc.
Transformer. 2.5 Transformer compensation and CT connection
Transformer and CT connection compensation adjusts the sets of three phase currents for the three-phase phase angle and phase interaction effects introduced by the winding connection of the transformer and CTs.
