Determining the Transformer Connection Parameters
Wye and Autotransformer Windings. The transformer connection for a CT input circuit that is
connected to either a wye or autotransformer winding should be classified as a wye winding.
Delta Transformer Windings. The transformer connection for a CT input circuit that is connected to a
delta winding could be classified as one of two delta connections: Delta IA-IB (DAB) or Delta IA-IC
(DAC). A delta configuration is defined by the currents that flow in the primary phases connected to the
delta. The wye winding phase connections are used as the point of reference since the current that
flows in the wye winding is the same as the current in the wye side primary phases. Figure 232 shows
an example of a transformer with a DAB connection. Figure 233 shows an example of the same
transformer with the phases reconnected to provide a DAC connection. If there is no wye winding to
use as reference, as is the case with a delta/delta transformer, the definition of the delta configuration
is not important.

With the appropriate CT and transformer connection information, the BE1-11t can automatically
determine the correct compensation required. Normally, all circuits are compensated to obtain their
equivalent delta currents. If all transformer windings and CTs are connected in wye, a special case exists
and no compensation is required. For this case, wye currents can be used directly.
Total compensation is accomplished by summing the appropriate phasors from each of the CT inputs
prior to using them in the differential function. For a WYE to DAB connection, the WYE CT phasors must
first be phase-compensated to match the DAB circuit’s 30
° shift. This is done using the DAB
compensator, which provides a phasor sum of Ia + Ib to form I’a for comparison to the DAB’s Ia CT
current. A similar operation is used to form I’b and I’c.
Total compensation uses six phase compensation factors: DAB, DAC, REV, Rotation Factors R1 and R2,
WYE, and Double Delta DDAB. The compensation factors are used in various combinations to
