Introduction
The power transformer is the most important links in power system A transformer fault will cause a large interruption in power supply and also cause damage to power system stability.
Need of protection
To limit the damage in case of fault To limit the damage in case of fault To isolate the faulty element to protect the power system.

Principle of operation
During normal condition and external fault condition the protective system is balanced This balance is disturbed for internal faults. The differential current flows through the relay coil and it operate.

Recognise inrush condition by evaluating the ratio 2nd harmonic I2HAR to basic wave IDiff. Time limit for cross-block. Reliable reaction to the inrush condition with cross-block. Trip of a short circuit after the set time delay. Recognise over-excitation by evaluating the ratio 3rd or 5th harmonic to basic wave
Tripping Characteristic
flexible adaptation to various transformers, e.g. with tap changer or different main high stability against external faults with CT saturation fast tripping for solid short-circuits within one period
REF is used for protect the earth fault inside the transformer Protection is provided using bushing core CTs at 400KV, 220KV and neutral. All the CTs has been connected in parallel as the net current always zero for normal and through faults. Whenever any earth fault occur in the REF zone of transformer the vector sum of currents come into unbalance and resultant current will flow through REF relay and it will operate

This is gas generated relay connected in between the main tank and conservator This relay is generally used to detect the following faults: Core faults Inter turn faults Tank faults Hot spot
