Power flowing into a transformer must match the power flowing out (minus losses which are minimal). If this is not the case, there's something wrong.
Differential protection monitors current only; Current flowing into one side of the transformer will be equal to current flowing out the other side scaled by the turns ratio of the transformer. Since the turns ratio is equivalent to the voltage ratio, this is easily set.

What is lvdt?
The linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is a type of electrical transformer used for measuring linear displacement.
Advantage of differential Manchester coding over Manchester coding?
Unlike with Manchester encoding, only the presence of a transition is important, not the polarity. Differential coding schemes will work exactly the same if the signal is inverted (wires swapped).
What is the full form of CT PT transformer?
CT=========current transformer PT=========potential transformer these are the instrumental transformers.
How does differential heating affect air pressure?
Differential heating creates high-and-low-pressure areas, creating wind.
Can you make a Jacobs ladder with a fluorescent light transformer?
You can make a Jacob's ladder with a light transformer. There are many designs and ways to build this apparatus.
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.
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
Why differential relay is not used for 11kv transformers?
It depends what you mean by an '11-kV transformer'; do you mean a primary transformer (33/11-kV transformer) or a distribution transformer (11-kV/400-230-V transformer). Differential protection IS offered on primary transformers.
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.
What is the differential between internal fault and external fault in transformer differential protection?
Internal Fault means, fault due to winding, insulation, core etc which are inner side of transformer. External fault means, Fault due to atmosphere Condition where transformer is placed moisture,dust, etc
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.
What is defrential protection relay?
I am going to assume that you are asking about a differential relay. It is basically just that- it compare two different sources and will trip at a set value value of the difference. These can be directional as well. A couple of examples are transformer protective relays and bus differential. A transformer relay will measure the amount of current coming into the transformer and the amount of current going out. If there is a disparity due to an internal fault the relay will trip the supply source and deenergize the transformer. Same for the Bus differential.
What is linear transformer?
The Linear Variable Differential Transformer is a type of electrical transformer used for measuring linear displacement. A counterpart to this device that is used for measuring rotary displacement is called a Rotary Variable Differential Transformer.
How does the standby earth fault scheme work?
Restricted earth fault protection is used to protect a specific zone, and should not trip for a fault outside of that zone (usually limited to a transformer, and possibly extending to lowside, highside, and tertiary breakers). Stand by earth fault protection is a term I am not very familiar with, but I believe this would be protection that is meant for a specific zone as backup, and can operate for faults outside of this zone. An example might be a highside time overcurrent relay set looking into a transformer, where the transformer is protected by a differential (primary protection), and there is a lowside feeder with relays (primary protection). The highside overcurrent acts as a backup (secondary protection) for the transformer and the feeder, and is delayed due to the nature of a time overcurrent relay.
