Figure.1 Connection Between Omicron and Relay

TEST ONE:

• Make the connection as shown in the circuit diagram.

• Set Ip of the relay Ip =0.2A.
• Apply two currents I1, I2 according to Table.1, and fill the necessary
columns.
• On a squared paper draw the operating characteristic (Differential current vs
Restrained current) of the percentage differential relay. Distinctly mark the
Operating and Restraining region.

Preliminary Work:

1. What are the main causes of error in case of Differential Protection of Transformer?

2. What is the main advantage of Differential Relays over Over-Current Relays?
