Abstract

Current-differential protective schemes, as stated earlier, have the great advantages that they can discriminate between faults within and external to their protected zones and can operate very rapidly when required to do so. Their basic principle, namely Kirchhoff ‘s first law, that the algebraic sum of the currents flowing into a healthy circuit is zero, is very simple.
