SIPROTEC 5 7UT Notes

Basic Principle of Differential Protection

Depending on the basic type of device selected, it can protect different system configurations. In the simplest implementation (7UT82), this is a two-winding transformer. The 7U T 85 protects a two-winding transformer or an autotransformer. The 7UT86 processes 3 sides or 3 measuring points. In a function group, 2 differential protection functions can run in parallel for auto-transformer applications. In the maximum implementation (7UT87), up to 5 sides or 7 measuring points can be processed. Furthermore, the 7UT87 can process 2 function groups of Transformer differential protection.

The largest current of 2 or more measuring points of the protected object is used for stabilization.

Additional Stabilization with External Short Circuits

In an external short circuit, high short-circuit currents flowing through can lead to current transformer saturation. This saturation can be more or less strongly pronounced at the measuring points, and in this way simulate a differential current. The differential current can lie in the tripping range of the characteristic curve for a certain time and lead to unwanted tripping without any particular measures.

Principle Current Course in External Short Circuit and Temporary Current Transformer Saturation
on One Side
  • High-current, external short circuit
    First, the current on both sides is transferred and leads to a large restraint current. After this, a transformer becomes saturated, resulting in a differential current Idiff that can exceed the operating curve. Simultaneously, the restraint current Irest. drops out. Once the transformer is no longer saturated, the
    differential current decreases and falls below the characteristic curve.
  • Low-current, external short circuit
    Current transformers can also become saturated through the large direct-current time constant (switching of transformers, motors), but small currents flow. This manifests itself as a phase angle rotation of the current. Exceeding the characteristic curve in a non-stabilized area is possible.
    Intelligent saturation detection methods capture this state and lead to a temporally limited blocking of the Differential protection function.

Inrush Current and Overexcitation Stabilization

When a transformer is switched on, an inrush current with a DC component flows, since the flow cannot change itself erratically. The inrush current develops in all phases and appears immediately as a differential current. The direct-current time constant can amount to several seconds with large transformers. The following figure shows a typical situation.

Typical Inrush Current Curve

If a transformer is operated with too high of a voltage, it can be modulated up into the non-linear part of the magnetization characteristic curve. An increased magnetizing current results, which manifests itself as an increased differential current and can lead to an overfunction.
For this reason, additional functions are required that block the differential protection with closure and overexcitation processes.

Reference winding


The largest power is used as reference winding with a multi-winding transformer. If several windings have the same absolute value of power, then, the highest current winding is selected as the reference winding.
The absolute value of the neutral-point transformer is also adapted according to the previous formula. In this case, the absolute value should be adapted to the side with the greatest power.

Inrush-Current Detection

The inrush-current detection evaluates the calculated instantaneous values of the differential current. The inrush current develops with Sympathetic Inrush – connection of a parallel transformer or Recovery Inrush – inrush current after returning voltage after a fault in the system in the differential current considerably higher than in the side currents. An assignment to the corresponding blocking phases is possible only in the differential current due to the vector-group correction. The inrush-current detection is activated when the pickup characteristic is exceeded. It is deactivated when it is blocked by an external fault.

Why Pre-Recorded Video Courses?

  1. Learners can access the course content at any time and from anywhere, allowing them to learn at their own pace and schedule.
  2. Pre-recorded video courses eliminate the need for learners to travel to a physical location for training. This convenience saves time and money on commuting expenses.
  3. With pre-recorded video courses, learners can pause and re-watch sections as needed. This feature allows for better retention of information and understanding of complex topics.
  4. Compared to traditional in-person training or live online classes, pre-recorded video courses are often more cost-effective. There are no additional costs associated with renting a venue or paying for an instructor’s time.
  5. Pre-recorded video courses provide access to expert instructors who may not be available locally. Learners can benefit from high-quality instruction regardless of their geographical location.
  6. Our pre-recorded video courses offer supplementary materials like WhatsApp support and downloadable resources that provide additional support outside of the main course content.
