Abstract

This paper proposes a current differential relaying algorithm for power transformers using the third difference function of a differential current. The algorithm observes the instants when the wave-shape of the differential current is changed due to the change of the magnetization inductance. If the value of the third difference is bigger than the threshold, the output of a current differential relay is blocked for a cycle. In the cases of magnetic inrush and overexcitation, the blocking signal is maintained: however, for internal faults, reset in a cycle. The test results clearly show that the algorithm successfully distinguishes internal faults from magnetizing inrush.
