This presentation discusses various differential protection schemes including circulating current, balanced voltage, percentage differential, transmission line, and carrier aided protection schemes. The circulating current scheme is suitable for pilot wire resistances up to 1000 ohms and capacitances up to 2.5 microfarads. The percentage differential protection relay is used for protection of generators and transformers, providing about 85% earth fault protection for generator windings. Carrier aided protection is most widely used for ultra-high and extra-high voltage power line protection utilizing carrier signals of 500-700 kHz.
