Differential protection

Differential protection compares quantities associated with the boundaries of a protection zone according to the selected implementation. Equipment and application suffixes can distinguish transformer, busbar, line or other arrangements. The base number alone does not define the zone or measurements.

A distinction that matters

Transformer differential, busbar differential and other differential applications are not interchangeable merely because they share the base number 87.
