Core protection function

Differential and grounding protection

Three phase differential protection (87T): including second harmonic/fifth harmonic braking and waveform recognition locking, automatically matching transformer vector group, supporting zero sequence current elimination, preventing misoperation of faults outside the area.

High/Low Impedance Grounding Protection (REF): The high impedance principle does not require a stable resistor, while the low impedance principle supports CT variable ratio inconsistent scenarios, with a sensitivity of up to 5% of the rated current.

Overcurrent and backup protection

Multi stage overcurrent protection (51/50): supports definite time (DT) and inverse time (IDMT) characteristics, with three-stage low setting, two-stage high setting, and instantaneous period, with an action accuracy of ± 2.5%.

Directional overcurrent protection (67): Based on phase voltage/line voltage polarization, it supports forward/reverse action direction and has strong resistance to load intrusion.

Voltage and frequency protection

Overexcitation protection (24): Based on U/f ratio monitoring, two-stage alarm/trip to prevent magnetic core saturation.

Auxiliary protection

Thermal overload protection (49T): Dual time constant model, real-time monitoring of winding temperature, supporting RTD input (such as Pt100).
