Numerical Differential Protection: Principles and Applications

Description:

Differential protection is a fast, selective method of protection against short-circuits which is applied in many variants for electrical machines, transformers, busbars, and electric lines. Initially this book covers the fundamentals of analog and digital differential protection. The emphasis is then placed on the different variants of differential protection and its practical application, which is illustrated by concrete examples.

A textbook and standard work in one, this book covers all topics, which have to be paid attention to for planning, designing, configuring and applying differential protection systems. The book is aimed at students and engineers who wish to familiarise themselves with the subject of differential power protection, as well as the experienced user, entering the area of digital differential protection. Furthermore it serves as a reference guide for solving application problems.
