Currents from the secondary and tertiary windings of the power transformer are connected to
one line differential protection IED. Currents for each CT group are sent to the IED at station A
by the LDCM. To inform the differential algorithm that currents are coming from the LV sides
of the transformers,
for local measurement). This is to ensure that proper turn ratio and vector group correction is
done.

Setting example with a two-end power line

In this example, a two-end 220 kV and 200 km power line is protected using L4CPDIF.
The protected zone is determined by CT positions. One three-phase CT group is placed at one
end of the power line, and another three-phase CT group is placed at the other end. Everything
that is placed between these two CT groups (including CBs) are included in the protected
zone.
To apply the exact (voltage-based) method of charging current compensation, the power line's
positive and zero-sequence capacitances must be known. If not known, the approximate
method can be applied instead.
