ESDR 4/4T
Current Differential
Protection Relay
APPLICATIONS

DESCRIPTION (continued)

The ESDR 4/4T offers a three-phase current differential

protection for generators, motors, and transformers that are
interconnected. Two different versions offer a maximum of
flexibility and protection for your equipment. These are:

Features

ESDR 4 - Current differential protection for generators

and motors.
ESDR 4T - Current differential protection for generators,
motors, and transformers in unit connection.
The current flowing in the individual conductors is measured by means of current transformers installed on both
sides of the protection zone. These transformers form the
limits of the protection zone. Any two-phase or three-phase
short circuits and ground faults are recognized by the
ESDR 4/4T as fault currents. By means of freely configurable relays, the unit will indicate if any of the adjusted fault
current limits have been exceeded. In the event that fault
currents occur outside of the protection zone, the unit does
not cause an opening operation. Hence the unit can be
used in protection systems requiring selective tripping operations.
To adapt the network configuration to the ESDR 4T it is
possible to change the phase shift of the transformer via
selecting the vector group in the display. The different
nominal currents of the high and low voltage side of the
transformer as well as the transformer ratio may be configured. Every measuring point may be set separately. These
features permit the ESDR 4T to be universal in its applications.
The ESDR 4/4T permits design simplification of the switchgear cabinet, facilitates the commissioning, ensures the
operation of the system, is user friendly, and increases the
availability of the system.
Principle: fault a) outside [=no alarm] b) inside [=alarm] of the
protected area
