Overview
The “Bus coupler differential protection” uses the currents measured by the two current transformers that are present in the bay. The trip command of the bus coupler differential protection acts on the circuit breaker that is present in the bay.
For more detailed information on “Bus Coupler Differential Protection” function, refer to SIPROTEC 5 devices, V8.30 & higher manuals.
