In any closed circuit, the current exiting and entering the power supply must be equal. Differential current protection, much like a ground-fault interrupter (GFI), measures incoming and exiting current from all three phases, stopping the circuit in case of any imbalance, no matter how long it persists.
In general, internal faults provide significant operating current, even for fairly light faults. Differential protection is universally applicable to all parts of the power system: generators, motors, buses, transformers, lines, capacitors, reactors, and sometimes a combination of these.
The best protection technique now and for more than 50 years is that known as differential protection. Here the electrical quantities entering and leaving the protected zone or area are compared by current transformers (CTs). If the net between all the various circuits is zero, it is assumed that no fault or intolerable problem exists.
In a differential, one capacitor section decreases while the other increases. Split stator air variable capacitor. 2.7 - 19.6 pF, 3/16" shaft, breakaway plates bushing mount. National differential (one section makes while the other section breaks) air variable. 0.030" plate spacing for 1250v. 1/4" x 3/8" long shaft, double bearing.
Step 1: Find out the nominal current of the capacitor bank. The nominal current of 80.37 Amps is used in the case study and its calculation is given in Appendix. Step 2 Select the appropriate current transformer ratio. The CT ratio of 120:1 is selected to test the overload protection for SCB’s.
Except for very light internal faults, good discrimination is available to detect problems (faults) within the differential zone. For the differential relay to operate, it is not necessary for all the circuits to supply fault current if no current is supplied to the fault.
