sequence source) is set. The setting is in primary ohms.
When the dual polarizing method is used, it is important that the setting

for faults in the reverse direction.
IPolMin

smaller currents than this value, the operation will be blocked. A typical setting is
5-10% of

used in a teleprotection scheme. The appropriate signal should be configured to the
communication scheme block.

2nd harmonic restrain
M15282-90 v6
If a power transformer is energized there is a risk that the current transformer core will
saturate during part of the period, resulting in a transformer inrush current. This will
give a declining residual current in the network, as the inrush current is deviating
between the phases. There is a risk that the residual overcurrent function will give an
unwanted trip. The inrush current has a relatively large ratio of 2nd harmonic
component. This component can be used to create a restrain signal to prevent this
unwanted function.
At current transformer saturation a false residual current can be measured by the
protection. Here the 2
nd
harmonic restrain can prevent unwanted operation as well.
2ndHarmStab
: The rate of 2nd harmonic current content for activation of the 2nd
harmonic restrain signal. The setting is given in % of the fundamental frequency
residual current.

Parallel transformer inrush current logic
M15282-97 v6
In case of parallel transformers there is a risk of sympathetic inrush current. If one of
the transformers is in operation, and the parallel transformer is switched in, the
asymmetric inrush current of the switched-in transformer will cause partial saturation
of the transformer already in service. This is called transferred saturation. The 2
nd
harmonic of the inrush currents of the two transformers will be in phase opposition.
The summation of the two currents will thus give a small 2
nd
harmonic current. The
