In bias differential protection for transformer,
There are two basic settings required to setup the percentage biased differential protection.
1. Minimum pickup
2. The slope.
The minimum pick-up covers the transformer magnetizing current typically 1-4% of transformer rating.
A pick up of 0.2 to 0.3 times the TAP is recommended for general cases.
The slope is defined by determining the potential sources of differential current.
Class B trip curve:
The MCB with class B trip characteristics trips instantaneously when the current flowing through it reaches between 3 to 5 times rated current. These MCBs are suitable for cable protection.
Hence, For 16 A current Type B MCB disconnect fault at 3*16 = 48 A to 5*16 = 80 A.
The connection of CT on primary and secondary side is always reverse to the connection of transformer.
To protect the power transformer with star-delta against fault, the type of connection of CTs should be in the delta–star connection otherwise the relay will operate when an external fault occurs due to zero sequence currents
