The use of differential logic protection reverse order.

Recently increased the number of cases of failure of power transformers due to the natural aging of the windings and unauthorized discharge of oil from the transformer tank, resulting in irreversible processes occur in the windings.
Periodic maintenance and repair, diagnostics, testing of transformers on their suitability for further use do not exclude the possibility of damage. To minimize damage, you must apply a special method of relay protection of transformer differential protection logic reverse sequence without time-delay (DZT).

Operating principle: to improve reliability and sensitivity of protection, it seems appropriate to apply differential logic protection reverse order, which operates under unbalanced short circuits (KZ) in the transformer. For its implementation it is necessary to use the device to filter negative-sequence current three-phase electrical installation, made with one differential relay series PHT [2]. The filter captures the negative phase-sequence current and not responding to three-phase short-circuit and overload currents.

The application of the DZT to the device to filter negative-sequence current, is made with series relay RNT is a power relay reverse order, makes it possible to significantly reduce the current protection operation by detuning from the magnetizing current when the transformer is under voltage, and also during recovery after short-circuit clearance, as the negative phase-sequence current is significantly less than the current direct sequence (Fig. 1).

The magnetizing current is of asymmetric shape of the curve and are therefore poorly transformed through bystronasyschayuschiesya transformer relay PHT. Three-phase fault inside the transformer is unlikely because of the strength of interphase insulation. KAZ differential relay is connected to the current transformers TA1 and TA2 from the high voltage (HV) and low voltage (LV) transformer. Power relay KW1 and current relay KA1 and KA2 are connected to the current transformer TA3 by NN (Fig.2). In the absence of a reserve winding of the transformer with the LV these relays are connected in series with the differential relay KAZ.

Autotransformers ÂÓ1–ÂÓ3 serve to align the secondary currents of the current transformers.

With an unbalanced short circuit in the transformer to trigger the relay KAZ and KW1. Relay KW1 is triggered when feeding the fault location motors. After the closing of relay contact KAZ and KW1 KL1 relay whose contacts operate to disconnect the transformer. In the absence of current feeding the relay contacts are closed KA1 and KA2 in the circuit of relay KL1. To ensure protection from the initial value of current in asymmetric fault conditions (which can turn into an unlikely three-phase fault) relay KL1 works to slow down when you return.

At three-phase short-circuit damage to gas off protection and current protection.

When the transformer is in idle mode on the damage in the transformer relay ÊW1 does not work. However, in the closed condition of the relay contacts KA1 and KA2, as well as the contacts of the switch Q2 on the LV side. After the closing of relay contact ÊAZ relay KL1 will work with the action to disconnect the transformer. Unsymmetrical external fault on the LV side protection has no effect because the relay KW1 is not working. Unsymmetrical external fault on the HV side protection is also not valid, since the relay KAZ does not work.

The primary current of the negative sequence relay KAZ is chosen on the basis of the detuning from negative sequence current due to unbalance when the transformer is idling and when the feeding motor short circuit on the HV side:

                                                        I2ÑÇ = ÊÎÒÑ · IÍÅÑ ,                                               (1)

whereÊÎÒÑ – factor detuning (ÊÎÒÑ = 1,2);
IÍÅÑ – current unbalance negative sequence.
The current of the relay is determined by the expression:
                                                        ,                                            (2)
where ÊÑÕ – factor of the circuit connections of current transformers (it is assumed that ÊÑÕ = 1,73);
KTT – the transformation ratio of current transformers with the HV.
The number of turns of the equalizing winding and the differential apply (2) and is defined by the expression (3):
                                              
.                                       (3)

The primary current of the relay KW1 is equal to the current ²2ÑÇ. Relay KA1 and KA2 must be thermally stable to prolonged load currents of the transformer.

Electromechanical protective relays of the transformer provide a solution to all the problems that should be solved by devices of relay protection. Sensitivity to electromagnetic interference devices of relay protection microprocessor element base is several orders of magnitude higher than conventional. Therefore, you should specify that with a simple parallel connection of the output contacts of the relay KL1 and MP devices the likelihood of incorrect-positives increases, not decreases.

To ensure effective protection from excessive triggering of the MP devices to dramatically increase the level of their electromagnetic immunity. Only in this case it is possible to apply redundancy by including on the parallel output pins of microprocessor and Electromechanical relays.
