As shown in Figure 19, the T compensator second-
ary is connected to modify the phase A voltage. With
a fault in the trip direction, the induced voltage in the
compensator secondary bucks the phase A voltage.
Vector diagrams in Figure 8 illustrate the operation
during 3-phase faults at four locations. The system
impedance and the compensator angle are as-
sumed to be at 90° for illustrative purposes only. Pre-
fault voltages are depicted by the large dashed trian-
gle. The smaller dashed triangle in each case is the
system voltages at the relay location during the fault.
This triangle is modified by the compensator voltage
-1.5I
T where 1.5T is the compensator mutual im-
A
pedance. The terminals of the tripping unit are des-
ignated: X, Y and Z. Phase A tripping unit voltage is:

For a fault at A, beyond the relay operating zone, the

voltage, reducing the voltage triangle of the tripping
unit to X-Y-Z. With an X-Y-Z rotation the tripping unit
torque is in the restraining direction.
For a fault at B the current is larger than for a fault at
A, so that -1.5I
T is larger. The point X is in line with
A
points Y and Z. No torque is produced, since the
X-Y-Z triangle has a zero area.
For a fault in the operating zone, such as at C, point
X is below the YZ line. Now the rotation is X, Z, Y,
which produces operating torque.
For a fault behind the relay at D, restraining torque is
produced. Since the fault is behind the relay the cur-
rent is of reversed polarity. Compensator voltage,
-1.5
T, increases the area of the bus voltage trian-
A
gle, A-B-C. Tripping unit voltage has an X-Y-Z rota-
tion which produces restraining torque.
A solid 3-phase fault at the relay location, tends to
completely collapse the A-B-C voltage triangle. The
area of the X-Y-Z triangle also tends to be zero un-
der these conditions. A memory circuit in the KD-10
relay provides momentary operating torque under
these conditions, for an internal fault. In the KD-11

For a fault at A, in Figure 9 beyond the relay operat-

Voltages of this sequence applied to operating unit

For a fault at B , the currents are larger than for a fault
