The bias differ
ential element in the P643 would be used to protect the reactor. In a reactor application the low set
differential element Is1, should be set between 10%-15%. Inrush current in a shunt reactor does not appear as a
differential current like that which appears in a transformer, unless the CT saturates after some time due to long
DC time constant. Though the level of second harmonic in many cases can be relatively high there are many cases
with no or very low content of harmonics. Since the level of 2nd harmonic is small in shunt reactors compared with
transformers, the second harmonic blocking can be set as low as 10% to enhance stability during energization.
The high set 1 differential element, Is-HS1, can be set to 250% of the reactor current at rated voltage.
