The phasor combination differential protection for Le-Blanc transformers

The main electrical protection of Le-Blanc connection transformers that supply the single-phase power to the electric railway in Taiwan is the overcurrent protection. This paper presents a more complete protective scheme, the differential protection, for Le-Blanc by phasor combination method. The calculation procedure and the good mismatch results of a practical design example using the parameters of a Le-Blanc transformer of Taiwan Railway Bureau (Tairail) are described in this paper. In addition, using the normal current transformers and electromagnetic type transformer differential relays to completely construct the protective scheme is another merit of this algorithm.
