Applications
Differential Protection (Phase and Neutral)
The P54x provides true, phase-segregated current differential
protection. The measurement algorithm is extremely reliable, Ineutral Diff,
offering fast detection of internal faults and stability for external Iphase Diff
faults. The algorithm has a dual slope percentage bias restraint, as Phase Current
Differential Characteristics
shown in Figure 2. An internal fault will generate differential
current. The initial slope ensures sensitivity to low current faults,
whereas the 2nd slope is raised to counter the effects of Current Kp1
Neutral Current

Transformer (CT) saturation. A transient Bias technique is used to
overcome the effects of CT saturation, without compromising the IpS1 Neutral Current
operating time for internal faults. InS1 Differential Characteristics

The P54x also provides neutral current differential protection, InS2, IpS2
which complements phase current differential during high
resistance faults (up to 500 Ohm in 500 kV systems). Figure 2: Differential protection characteristic
The neutral current differential has a single slope characteristic
with a cut-off setting.
