CT for LV side having ratio 3000/1
CT for neutral having same ratio 3000/1

Any body can comments on the scheme for REF , how the scheme work in this case. Is it not necessary that neutral CT and LV Ct connection also common for phase rather only for common ground ( Marked in RED)

What shall be standard value we set for REF of this 2 MVA trafo

The Common connection in both neutral and phase side of CTs is done in high imepedance REF as shown below. There are many different between low and high impedance REF inherently. The most important difference between classical high impedance REF protection and new low-impedance REF protection is the input impedance. As with all numerical relays, the input impedance of the low-impedance REF is very low compared to high-impedance relays. Low-impedance REF protection does not have the same inherent stability against CT saturation for external faults as does high-impedance REF protection. A second significant difference is that the operating current of the low-impedance REF protection is not realized by CT connection. With low-impedance REF, the relay measures all four CTs necessary to realize the element. A very important advantage of low-impedance REF protection is the fact that the CT ratios for the phase CTs and neutral CTs do not have to be the same. Most low-impedance REF relays use an operating and a restraint current. The difference between different relays from different manufacturers lies in the way these relays determine the restraint quantities and in the CT saturation detection algorithm of each relay. Note that, in the case of low-impedance REF protection, there is no inherent immunity to CT saturation, as is the case with high-impedance REF protection. The following different methods are used to determine the restraint and operating current: 1. Use of the residual current Ir = Ia + Ib + Ic as the restraint current and the differential current Id = Ia + Ib + Ic

I need your help for 2MVA REF setting as per my last query.

[Hamid]

Some basic concept for REF setting is noted above, also generally the “Threshold 10% of In and no delay” is recommended for 64REF setting, but for applying suitable setting, you must refer to relay manufacturer guide. For example in Micom protective relay (biasing restricted earth fault) two different operating modes with different properties are available by choice, biasing by residual current and biasing by maximum phase current, with related tripping characteristics forms which shall be set according to electrical system requirements and relay instruction.For more information please refer to MICOM 30 Series APPLICATION GUIDE, issued by ALSTOM
