Figure 2-58
The restricted earth fault protection can operate on one of the sides of the main protected object (power
transformer, generator, motor, reactor) or on a further protected object, according to the topology config-
ured. In case of auto-transformers, it is assigned to the auto-windings. Furthermore, it is presumed that the
assignment of the different measuring locations to the sides of the main protected object or to a further
protected object as well as the assignment of the 1-phase current input for the starpoint current has been
performed correctly according to the Section
The 7UT613/63x provides two of the protective functions that can be used independently from each other in
different locations. For example you can realise a restricted earth fault protection for each of both windings on
a YNyn transformer that is earthed at both starpoints. Or use the first restricted earth fault protection for an
earthed winding of a transformer and the second for another protected object, e.g. a neutral reactor. You
carried out the assignment of both restricted earth fault protection functions to the sides or measuring loca-
tions according the Section
nommen.
