SYSTEM SETUP
there is a grounding bank on the Delta winding of the power transformer within the zone of protection, a ground fault
results in differential (zero sequence) current and false trips. In such a case, it is necessary to insert a zero sequence current
trap with the Wye connected CTs on the Delta winding of the transformer.
In general, zero sequence removal is necessary if zero sequence can flow into and out of one transformer winding but not
the other winding. 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 G30 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
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 winding is chosen.
The phase compensation angle (Φ
winding, is calculated by the G30 for each winding as follows:
In our example, the phase reference winding is winding 1, the first delta winding (that is, w
angle for each winding is then calculated as follows (assuming Rotation = "ABC"):
