Differential Protection

This document discusses differential protection, which involves comparing currents entering and leaving a power system element to detect internal faults. It outlines the principles of differential protection, including how it can distinguish internal faults from external faults or normal operation. The document also covers potential difficulties in differential protection like differences in pilot wire length or CT ratio errors during faults. Finally, it examines percentage differential protection, which uses a percentage of the calculated differential current to operate, and discusses settings for the operating coils.
