They form the protection area boundary or zone. All two or three-phase short-circuits and line-to-earth faults within this protection area are detected by the ESDR 4T as fault currents which cause tripping. The unit does not trip if fault currents occur outside the protection area. In this way, a selective protection is guaranteed.

Manual 37138C ESDR 4T - Current Differential Protection Relay Differential Current Monitoring ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡ The monitoring of the differential current is carried out in two stages. The first monitoring stage serves as a warning and can be enabled or disabled. Should the adjustable warning characteristic be exceeded, a text appears in the display and a relay contact is enabled.
During an inrush current there are typically high proportions of 2nd order harmonics present. However during overexcitation there are predominantly 5th order harmonics present. The harmonics component is determined in the ESDR 4T using the digital Fourier transformation (= DFT) and this is used as the criteria for electrical re- straint against false tripping.

Manual 37138C ESDR 4T - Current Differential Protection Relay Differential Current Testing Using Single-Sided Three-Phase Supply The operating limit can be approached by slowly increasing the test current. The tests can be carried out consecu- tively on the high and low-voltage sides.
Manual 37138C ESDR 4T - Current Differential Protection Relay Testing for Correct Connection The excitation should be set so that the generator is loaded to approx. 20% rated current. If the connections are correct, the displayed differential current should be approximately zero. The displayed restraint current should be checked using an external measuring device.
Manual 37138C ESDR 4T - Current Differential Protection Relay Renewed Test with the Correct Connection (Measurement of the maximum differential currents.) Restart the unit after restoring the original connections. Test the differential current and the restraint current at 20 % of the rated current and compare these with the values measured from "Testing for Correct Connection". If the measurements match, you can slowly increase the current up to the rated current.
