what is the differnce between high impedance relay and low
impedance relay

Answer Posted / chander, ak

High impedance principle means that protective relay has a
such a large series impedance that even the largest through
fault current occuring during transient condition does not
start an un-necessary relay operation.High impedance relay
is one in which all CTs must have the same ratios. it is
employed in The differential protection of generators, bus
bars, motors and reactors.
Low impedance relays do not have any additional series
impedances and are usually employed for transformers
differential protection.

in cvt,there are two windings,1a,1n and 2a,2n.in my one project i use only one winding i.e.1a,1n. the other winding is not in use, so i connect it in open delta and want to close it by ibsertibg thermal resistor. the output of cvt is 132kv/115/sqrt3. plesae tell me exact value of resistor, so i may close it to avoid the resonance phenomenin. send me answer on this email adress please. aetcon-po@aetcon.com
