Correct Answer - Option 2 : Delta/delta connections

Merz-price differential protection scheme:

  • Merz-price differential protection is nothing but a percentage differential protection.
  • It works under the principle of the circulating current scheme.
  • Merz-price differential protection is used to protect the transformer from internal short circuits, Internal ground faults, and inter-turn short circuits.

 

The CTs connection in the Merz-price protection:

CTs are connected to every phase of the system.

In order to nullify the phase shift of the Power transformer (PT), The Current transformers (CT) connected in a reverse configuration.

Configuration of PT

Configuration of CTs on primary and secondary of PT respectively
