As shown in Figure 5, EMTP has built a single-
phase saturation core transformer model. It consists of an
equivalent circuit on an ideal transformer. The - I data
cant be get directly, so a program offered by EMTP is
needed to transfer the V-I characteristic of CT to - I
data. Besides, it can use the Type-96 from EMTP to
construct equivalent circuit [5].

Figure 6 The excitation curve of 10/5 CT
Because EMTP cant directly use the characteristic
curve of V-I, the V-I curve must be transfered to - I data
by the program called SATURA. The characteristic of V-
I curve of 10/5 CAPV-type CT is shown as in Figure
6[6]. To build Type-96 symbol, the -I data are
constructed by SATURA and the hysteresis curve is
created by HYSDAT[7]. The simulation results are
shown as in Table 1 and Figure 7.
Table 1 The characteristic of the CT
From these, one can see secondary current decreasing as
frequency increasing for a fixed primary current in 10
amperes. And the burden also affect the characteristic,
with larger burden, the accuracy of ratio becomes worse.

C.The experiment results:
When the system is at normal situation, the ratio
between the load current and differential current doesnt
change. Therefore, the tripping coil will not operate. But
at fault situations, the differential current in the tripping
coil increases, the differential ratio increases, and the
relay will trip. Table 4 shows results of the tripping time
of the differential relay at the inner faults. Table 5 shows
the results of the tripping time of the differential relay at
the outer faults.

IV. Conclusions
According to the simulation results, we know that
most CT doesnt perform well at all frequency ranges.
The magnetizing inrush current of the transformer and
the saturation phenomenon of the CT may cause some
mistakes to the relay operations. These make the real test
very difficult. So we ignore the magnetizing inrush
current of the transformer and the saturation
phenomenon of the CT. The tests are conducted with two
situations, internal faults and external faults. Each test is
with different harmonic components, including the 3
rd
harmonic components, the 5
th
harmonic components, and
etc, and summations of different harmonic components.
From real test results, we learn that the tripping time of
differential relay doesnt always increase with frequency
increasing or harmonic contents increasing. There is a
nonlinear region, beside the nonlinear region, the
tripping time is proportion to frequencies and harmonic
contents, or the relay doesnt trip anymore. When
internal faults happen, the harmonic components will
delay the tripping time of differential relay, this will
affect power system very much. The relay will doesnt
trip when 3
rd
harmonic are more than 66.66% of
fundamental component. The most important point is
that the tripping time will be delayed when harmonics
enter the equipments. In addition, the differential relay
will become not so sensitive if working frequencies are
not at fundamental frequency. The results of this research
can provide valuable references and assistance in
applying and designing of differential protective system.
