different negative sequence source impedance angles on the W1 and W2 sides of the
protected power transformer, it may differ somewhat from the ideal zero value.
However, during heavy faults, CT saturation might cause the measured phase angle to
differ from 180 degrees for an external, and from 0 degrees for an internal fault. See
figure
for an example of a heavy internal fault with transient CT saturation.

Figure 36:
Operation of the internal/external fault discriminator for internal fault
with CT saturation
It shall be noted that additional security measures are implemented in the internal/
external fault discriminator algorithm in order to guarantee proper operation with
heavily saturated current transformers. The trustworthy information on whether a
fault is internal or external is typically obtained in about 10ms after the fault inception,
depending on the setting
IminNegSeq
, and the magnitudes of the fault currents. During
heavy faults, approximately 5ms time to full saturation of the main CT is sufficient in
order to produce a correct discrimination between internal and external faults.
Unrestrained, and sensitive negative sequence protections
Two sub functions, which are based on the internal/external fault discriminator with
the ability to trip a faulty power transformer, are parts of the traditional power
transformer differential protection.
The unrestrained negative sequence differential protection
The unrestrained negative sequence protection is activated if one or more start signals
have been set by the traditional differential protection algorithm. This happens
