Over Current Protection Of Transformer

Over Current Protection Of Transformer


Protection of Transformer
Over Current Protection Of Transformer


Now we learn over current protection using circuit Diagram which is shown in below figure.

Transformer protection

Circuit Diagram of Over Current Protection Of Transformer



Transformer is connected in star-delta.CTs are connected in the primary lines.


Over current Relay-1 and 2 is connected in two phases.


Relay-3 is connected across the star point of the over current relay and the earth.


Over current Relay-1 and 2 operates when there is phase to phase fault or when there is
over load.


Relay-3 operates in case of the earth fault.
Similar protection can be given in the secondary winding also.


This type of protection is used for primary protection of small transformers and back-up
protection of large transformers.


The primary winding of transformer is connected in star and the CTs on that side are
connected in delta.


The secondary winding of transformer is connected in delta and the CTs on that side are connected in star.


The prevents the out or balance current flowing through the relay coil due to the phase displacement between the primary and secondary in the healthy condition.


The restraining coil is connected in the pilot wires.


The operating coils are connected between
the mid points of the restraining coil and the neutral pilot wire.


current increases to high value when the transformer feeds the fault outside its protection zone.


The differential current flows if the characteristics of the CTs are not identical.


But in this case the restraining current also increases so the relay cannot operate.


But when there is internal fault in transformer, the differential current increases and the relay operates.


The differential protection of transformer is also known as Merz-Price protection for the
transformer.

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction To Arduino Arduino is an Italian company that designs and manufactures Open Source Hardware (Microcontroller) and Open Source software or IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Arduino hardware is such a programmable computerized platform, by working on which the user can combine the hardware and software and prepare the electronic brain according to his own and can control the electronic devices from that electronic brain. What is arduino? If you want to understand more easily, then we can say that Arduino microcontroller is an empty brain, in which you can upload memory by coding or programming through arduino software, so these are called open source. Arduino works like a CPU of a board computer. Right now the microcontroller of the arduino of this time that we can take up is lik

What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor Basic Detail Of Microprocessor The  microprocessor is a semiconductor device consisting of electronic logic circuits manufactured by using either a large scale(LSI) or very large scale integration(VLSI) technique. The microprocessor is capable of performing computing functions and making decisions to change the sequence of program execution. In large computers, the central processing unit(CPU) performs these computing functions and it is implemented on one or more circuit boards. The microprocessor is in many ways similar to the CPU, however, the microprocessor includes all the logic circuitry(including the control unit)on one chip. The microprocessor consists of the following three segments which is shown in below diagram. Block Diagram of Microproce

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement Definition of Instrumentation The technology of using instruments to measure and control the physical and chemical properties of materials is called “ instrumentation ". What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement When the instruments are used for the measurement and control of industrial manufacturing , conversion or treatment processes, the term process instrumentation is applied. When the measuring and controlling instruments are combined so that measurements provide impulses for remote automatic action, the result is called a control system. Modes of Measurement There are the three modes of measurement: 1. Primary Measurement 2. Secondary Measurement 3. Tertiary Measurement All the three modes are described below: (1) Primary Measurements In the primary measurement sought value of a parameter is determined by comparing it directly with reference standar
