High Impedance Differential Relaying
It is now possible to qualitatively explain the appearance of a “false” differential current for the case of a saturated fault CT during an external fault. A fault at A is assumed as shown in Fig. 1.

Impact of CT saturation on overcurrent relays
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of CT saturation on overcurrent relays using both a physical relay test bench that includes actual protection CTs, and a modern relay test

Directional Overcurrent Protection
For reliable and correct operation of the overcurrent protection the current transformer (CT) has to be chosen carefully. The distortion of the secondary current of a saturated CT may endanger the

CT and PT Roles During Electrical Fault Conditions
If a CT fails during a fault, the protective relay may receive distorted, reduced, or no current signal. This can prevent the relay from recognizing the fault magnitude or direction.
