3-Phase Differential Relay
Description
The T2900 3-Phase Differential Relay is designed for
monitoring current leakage in generators. The T2900
measures the differential current of each of the 3 phases.
The differential currents are measured by connecting a
current transformer for each winding in parallel with inverse
polarity. The highest of the 3 currents is selected and,
if it exceeds the preset level (0.04-0.4 x I
N
), the pick-up
LED will indicate this and the delay timer will be started.
After the preset time has expired, the output relay and
the corresponding LED will be activated, provided that the
current level was exceeded for the entire delay time. The time
delay can be adjusted between 1-10 sec. This time delay can
be reduced by a factor 10 by bridging terminals 18 and 19.
