,
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.

How you using ref relay in transformer?
an REF relay (restricted earth fault) is used to provide ground fault protection for a transformer. Its' operation is limited by CTs starred towards the transformer (usually on the transformer bushings or in breakers used to isolate the transformer), so it will only operate for transformer related faults. Because of this, it can be set to operate very quickly.
What is difference between isolation transformer and earth protection relay?
An isolation transformer is a mutual transformer having a voltage ratio of 1:1, so that the secondary circuit is electrically isolated from the primary circuit, yet subject to the same voltage.An earth protection relay is a category of protective relay that responds to an earth fault monitored by a current transformer (CT). In the event of an earth fault being detected by the CT, the relay with activate the trip circuit to a circuit breaker which will then disconnect the fault.

Why percentage differential relay is not suitable for detecting the earth fault near neutral of an wye connected winding?
when earth fault occurs very near to the neutral point of wye winding, the voltage available for driving earth fault current is small. Hence fault current is low. Relay has to be too sensitive and then it can operate for spurious signals like external faults, switching surges etc.
What is lock out relay function why it is needed?
Lock out Relay is the Master Trip relay( It is a latch relay once operated we have to reset it by manual) Which is used for Generator protection,Transformer protection,Turbine protection (Fixed in indoor Panel, Standard manufacturer only making those relays) if it operated because of any fault in above the after clearing all the fault we have to reset it by hand(normally available 110Volts or 220Volts DC).
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.
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
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

Which types of relay is use in power transformer?
A 'power transformer' is a category of transformer used within electricity transmission and primary distribution systems. Relays are widely used with power transformers to provide various types of protection that will act to disconnect the transformer in the event of a fault. Examples of these relays include Buchholz relays, earth-fault relays, and differential relays. Relays are also used to operate a power transformer's automatic tap-changing mechanism in order to compensate for changes in load.
What is the reason for using a neutral current transformer on a transformer?
A current transformer is primarily used at the neutral point of a transformer for earth fault protection. A neutral current transformer will measure any ground fault current which will essentially flow from the star point of the transformer. A fault-detection device other devices is connected to the current transformer and, if the fault current exceeds a certain trigger value, the fault-detection device will give a trip command to an earth-fault relay to disconnect the supply of electricity to the 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.
Transformer shorted turn fault?
? Are you asking about a transformer turn to turn fault? Or if a transformer is shorted, does this turn into a fault? Please clarify the question.

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.
