Restricted Earth Fault Protection at Delta Side

09/22/2016 1:19 AM

We are habituated to use REF protection at the "Y" side of the transformer whose neutral is either solidly ground or resistance ground & ultimately during the fault within the zone the delta side breaker to be isolated.

Recently few consultants are asking to provide REF protection at Delta side also. Now my questions are as under:

1. Is it really a REF to be called as there is no neutral CT for biasing?

2. Instead of REF can we call it high impedance balance earth fault ?

3. How the relay settings vary from "Y" & Delta or both can be same?

4. Any other information with you?

Kindly throw some light.

There's a page in Wikipedia about earthing systems, Matey. Come back when you've read it.

Once you've read about earthing systems, you need to put "restricted earth fault" into any internet search engine, and read on. Come back if there's anything else you need.

See [for instance]:

file:///C:/Users/user/Downloads/TGN%20Restricted%20Earth%20Fault%20v1_0.pdf

You may use also a Split Core Current Transformer

See [for instance]:
