4.3.2

SETTING GUIDELINES FOR HIGH IMPEDANCE OPERATION

This scheme is very sensitive and can protect against low levels of fault current in resistance grounded systems. In
this application, the IREF>Is settings should be chosen to provide a primary operating current less than 10-25% of
the minimum earth fault level.
This scheme can also be used in a solidly grounded system. In this application, the IREF>Is settings should be
chosen to provide a primary operating current between 10% and 60 % of the winding rated current.
The following diagram shows the application of a high impedance REF element to protect the LV winding of a
power transformer.
