Diifferential relay Stability testing for transformer

04/23/2008 10:06 AM

I need a help to find out whether the method adopted was right or it may have some effects on transformer.

We have 5 MVA 11/11 delta-star transformer with % impedance 12.6.

We want to test the stability of the differential relay ABB make RADHA.

We short circuited the transfomer secondary terminals in Breaker panel

first created zonal & then out of zone fault to test the relay stability.

We had give 440V 3Phase supply to primary while secondary was short circuited.

current observed to be 160Amps.

I want to know whether this test is okey or it may affect adversly on transformer performance due to the inrush current while short circuited mode.

Prassanna,

I do that all the time.

You used 440 V for the current injection but you didi not say what is the voltage rating of the transformer.

I recently used 4160v injected into a 132KV 160 MVA transformer with 12.5 5 pu impedance.

Worked fine with no possible damaged to the transformer

Thanks for your reply,

Transformer rating 5 MVA 11KV/11KV Generator isolation Transformer
