1 CHAPTER OVERVIEW
This product provides biased, phase-segregated, numerical Current Differential protection.
This chapter intr
oduces the principles and theory behind Current Differential protection and describes how they
are implemented in this product. Guidance for applying this protection is also provided.
The current differential protection is enabled by default, but it can be disabled if you don’t want to use it. The
current differential protection needs digital communications links to exchange the values of current between the
terminals in the scheme.
