L90 Line Differential System The L90 innovative dual-slope-adaptiverestraint characteristic, based on estimates of measurement errors, allows the relay to be secure on severe external faults while maintaining sensitivity for internal faults. The estimate of errors in the input currents permits more sensitive settings than those used in the traditional percent differential schemes. The line differential element also has 2nd harmonic inrush-current inhibit for in-zone power transformer protection. This functionality enables the L90 to protect 2 or 3-terminal lines that have a power...
