Differential protection for power transmission systems comes down to looking at power coming into a location and power leaving that location; if these are equal, then everything is OK. If these are not equal, meaning power is going in and not coming back out, this indicates a fault condition. An example of differential protection is for a substation bus. current Transformers are connected to the bus differential from every power sourch into and out of the bus. The bus differential adds all the currents up, and the sum should be zero. If it is not, this means current is flowing into the bus but not leaving, meaning it is going to ground somewhere.
A line differential is the same concept as a bus differential. It's simply covering a line, which can be many miles long, so usually two relays are used, connected by a high speed communication path such as fiber optic cable. The current flowing in one side should be equal to the current flowing out the other.

What is differential transformer protection?
The current input (primary) to a transformer is proportional to the output (secondary) current. Differential protection relays monitor these via current transformers (CT). The percentage of difference between primary and secondary can be adjusted. If it is over the seting the relay will trip the primaryand secondary feeder breakers. Thus indicating an inbalance between internal phasewindings and or shorts to earth.
Which relay is used to protect generators and motors?
differential protection relay
When shall you use class x CT?
in substation protection To be connected to unit protection relays (i.e. differential, REF, Dist., etc.)
What is Solkar Current Differential?
A transmission system is employed with pilot relaying schemes for protection. Pilot is a channel which transmits the information from one end of the transmission line to the other.The information is normally an electrical quantity that is measured at both the ends. The different pilots used are wire pilot, carrier-current pilot and microwave pilot. Solkar system ( reyrolle) is a scheme employing the wire pilot. It is commonly called the balanced voltage or opposed voltage scheme. It operates on the principle of current differential protection.

What is the type of generator protection to protect against unequal phase current?
differential protection
Why percentage differential protection is preferred over differential protectionfor internal faults?
if we are seeking for internal protection of transformer only, then if any external fault occurs then it will show the fault though it should not. what a percentage differential protection will do means, it will include a restraining coil which is excited by the current in the transformer itself. Also the percentage differential relay ha taps. So it is easy to avoid the external fault. for reference check 'theory and applications of transformer differential protection' by GEORGE W.McKENNA, AIEE transactions 1950,volume 69

Dear all what direct consequences can be from Current transformer on generator with respect to differential protection relay?
CT's are used as inputs to the differential. If the CT is bad, or it is not wired to the differential correctly, it will cause differential current to be seen by the relay, resulting in a trip.
Why percentage differential relays do not normally need to be coordinated with the action of any other relay?
Differential relays should only operate for faults within the zone of protection, so there is no coordination issue. The reason to coordinate relays is for backup protection (a relay at a remote substation sees faults that should be cleared by another relay, for example). A differential will not see this fault, since it is external to it's zone of protection.

What is restricted earth fault protection and how is it provided?
A Restricted Earth Fault (REF) means an earth fault from a restricted/localized zone of a circuit. The term "REF protection method " means not to sense any earth faults outside this restricted zone. REF is a type of "unit protection" applied to transformers or generators and is more sensitive than the method known as differential protection. An REF relay works by measuring the actual current flowing to earth from the frame of the unit. If that current exceeds a certain preset maximum value of milliAmps (mA) then the relay will trip to cut off the power supply to the unit. Differential protection can also be used to protect the windings of a transformer by comparing the current in the power supply's neutral wire with the current in the phase wire: if the currents are equal then the differential protection relay will not operate; if there is a current imbalance then the differential protection relay operates. However, REF protection is also applied to transformers in order to detect ground faults on a given winding much more sensitively than differential protection can do.

Will a transformer Differential Relay act online to line to fault?
, The zone of protection for 2 , 3 or multi windings transformers differntial relay is decided by the location of CT.s at the respective sides i.e. HV. IV OR LV SIDES . Ideally on any fault within zones of these C.T.s the differential relay should act. However sometimes inadequecy of C.T. s ratings like low burden rating, less knee point voltage or improper biased settings may cause the differential relay to operate even on line faults.

What is the definition of differential relay and how does it function?
In power transformer, a differential relay is a relay that verifies the balance of current between the primary and the secondary face of a transformer. It is also employed in other components of the power system like in protecting cables. Differential relay is also called a unit protection.
