It checks for the sum of phase currents which is meant to be zero in case of Star point Grounded transformer. In case of any discrepancy i.e star point shifting with respect to one of the phases the sum of currents stands no longer null. This is when our NDR comes into play as it will avoid whole feeder tripping in case of 2nd fault occurring on the same transformer.

Function of earth fault relay?

An "earth fault relay" is a bit ambiguous. A relay used in the power system to detect neutral or ground faults measure the vector difference of the three phase power, or measure the neutral current directly. If current is above a set trip point, the relay will operate. If you are referring to GFCI's, they effectively measure the current flowing in and the current flowing out on the two "hot" wires, and if these do not cancel each other out, then the GFCI will trip. This is because if current in does not equal current out, then some current must be flowing out a different way (to ground!).


Why percentage differential relay is not suitable for detecting the earth fault near neutral of an wye connected winding?

when earth fault occurs very near to the neutral point of wye winding, the voltage available for driving earth fault current is small. Hence fault current is low. Relay has to be too sensitive and then it can operate for spurious signals like external faults, switching surges etc.


What is the oscillating neutral in transformer?

An 'oscillating' neutral can exist when the star point of a three-phase, star (wye) connected, secondary winding becomes disconnected from earth (ground) -e.g. if copper thieves have removed the earth conductor or it simply becomes disconnected. This results in a 'floating neutral', in which the phase voltages are no longer necessarily equal to each other (in other words, the three phase voltages have become 'unbalanced') the extent to which depends upon how unbalanced the supplied load is. An 'oscillating' neutral occurs when the displacement of the neutral point changes as it responds to changes in the unbalanced load currents.


Which instrument transformer mostly used in relays?

Both Current and Potential Transformers are used for relays according to the working of relay.
