Figure 2-45 Summation of the currents in the summation transformer on connection L1-L3-E
For the connection L1-L3-E (see figure 2-44), the weighting factors W of the summa-
tion currents IM for the various fault conditions and the ratios to that given by the three-
phase symmetrical faults are shown in table 2-5. On the right hand side is the comple-
mentary multiple of rated current I
to arrive at the summation current I
this factor, the actual pickup values result.

The table shows that the differential protection is more sensitive to earth faults and to
double earth faults than to those without earth path component. This increased sensi-
tivity is due to the fact that the summation transformer winding in the CT starpoint con-
nection (I , residual current (refer to figure 2-44) has the largest number of turns and
E
thus the weighting factor W = 3.
If the higher earth current sensitivity is not necessary, connection according to figure
2-46 can be used. This is reasonable in earthed systems with particularly low zero se-
quence impedance where earth fault currents may be larger than those under two-
phase fault conditions. With this connection, the values given in Table 2-6 below can
be recalculated for the seven possible fault conditions in solidly earthed networks.
