2.5 Restricted Earth Fault Protection (optional)
The restricted earth fault protection detects earth faults in power transformers, the starpoint of which is earthed.
It is also suitable when a starpoint former is installed within a protected zone of a non-earthed power transform-
er. A precondition is that a current transformer is installed in the starpoint connection, i.e. between the starpoint
and the earthing electrode. The starpoint CT and the phase CTs define the limits of the protected zone exactly.
2.5.1 Application Examples
Figures 2-25 and 2-26 show two application examples. A prerequisite is that the I4 transformer detects the star-
point current of the transformer side to be protected.
