Electrical Busbar Protection – Differential Relay Function

Differential busbar protection is the most common and reliable scheme for the bus bar protection. Earlier there was no other option to use only conventional over current relays for busbar protection. But it is desirable that fault in any feeder or transformer connected to the busbar system should not disturb overall busbar system. Due to… Read More »
