FAQ
Q：line differential protection vs distance protection
A:Short-distance line differential protection compares current vectors at both line ends to identify internal faults with absolute selectivity, while distance protection judges fault location by measuring line impedance and acts according to fault distance.
Q：What is the difference between line differential protection and transformer differential protection?
Line differential protection simply compares the current amplitude and phase at both ends of the line without considering transformation ratio and inrush current. By contrast, differential protection of transformer, also known as protection of a transformer, requires compensation for transformation ratio and phase deviation, as well as inrush current blocking, leading to more complex setting logic.
