Auto-Configuration
Introduction
For transformer differential protection, it is necessary to correct the magnitude and
phase relationships of the CT secondary currents for each winding, in order to obtain
near zero differential currents under normal operating conditions. Traditionally, this
has been accomplished using interposing CTs or tapped relay windings and
compensating CT connections at the transformer.
The 745 simplifies CT configuration issues by having all CTs connected Wye (polarity
markings pointing away from the transformer). All phase angle and magnitude
corrections, as well as zero-sequence current compensation, are performed
automatically based upon user entered setpoints.
This section describes the process of auto-configuration by means of a specific
example, showing how CT ratios, transformer voltage ratios, and the transformer
phase shifts are used to generate correction factors. These correction factors are
applied to the current signals to obtain extremely accurate differential currents.
Consider a typical Wye-Delta power transformer with the following data:
•
Connection: Y/d30° (i.e. DELTA winding phases lag corresponding WYE winding
phases by 30°)
•
Winding 1: 100/133/166 MVA, 220 kV nominal, 500/1 CT ratio
•
Winding 2: 100/133/166 MVA, 69 kV nominal, 1500/1 CT ratio
onload tap changer: 61 to 77 kV in 0.5 kV steps (33 tap positions)
•
Aux. Cooling: two stages of forced air
The following sections will illustrate auto-configuration principles using this
example.

Even ignoring the onload tap changer, the 1500/1 CT on Winding 2 does not
perfectly match the 500/1 CT on Winding 1. A perfectly matched Winding 2 CT ratio
(at nominal Winding 2 voltage) is calculated as follows:
(EQ 5.1)
where CT
1
= Winding 1 CT ratio
V
1
= Winding 1 nominal voltage
CT
2
= Winding 2 CT ratio
V

= Winding 2 nominal voltage
Thus, for any load, the Winding 2 CT secondary current is higher (per unit) than the
Winding 1 CT secondary current. The mismatch factor is 1594.2 / 1500 = 1.063.
