Results for tag: "Differential Protection"

Differential protection is a type of electrical protection used in electrical engineering to protect electrical equipment from damage due to overcurrents or short circuits. It works by comparing the current entering and leaving a protected zone, and if the difference between the two is too great, the protection system will trip and disconnect the circuit. Differential protection is used in a variety of applications, including power transformers, motors, generators, and transmission lines. Differential protection systems are designed to detect and respond to faults quickly and accurately, and are often used in combination with other protection systems to provide a comprehensive protection scheme. Differential protection systems are also used to detect and respond to ground faults, and can be used to detect and respond to other types of faults as well. Differential protection systems are available from a variety of manufacturers, including ABB, Siemens, Schneider Electric, and Eaton. Show Less Read more
