845 TRANSFORMER PROTECTION SYSTEM – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Figure 4-41: Menu for transformer windings setup
As shown in the menu for transformer windings setup, the 30° lag of the Delta winding
currents, will result in a 0° phase shift applied to Delta currents (Delta –phase reference),
and a 30° phase angle correction (phase shift) applied to the winding 1 currents (Wye
winding). These angle corrections are described in the table as Phase shift.
In general, zero sequence removal is necessary if zero sequence can flow into and out of
one transformer winding but not the other windings. Transformer windings that are
grounded inside the zone of protection allow zero sequence current flow in that winding,
and therefore it is from these windings that zero sequence removal is necessary.
The 845 performs this phase angle compensation and zero sequence removal
automatically, based on the settings entered for the transformer. All CTs are connected
Wye (polarity markings pointing away from the transformer). All currents are phase and
zero sequence compensated internally before the calculation of differential and restraint
quantities.
The phase reference winding (w
to it. The phase reference winding is chosen to be the delta or zigzag (non-wye) winding
with the lowest winding index, if one exists. For a transformer that has no delta or zigzag
windings, the first "wye" winding is chosen.
The phase compensation angle φ
