  1. Consider a stator winding of an alternator with an internal high-resistance ground fault. The currents under the fault condition are as shown in the figure given below. The winding is protected using a differential current scheme with current transformers of ratio 400/5 A as shown in the figure given below. The current through the operating coil is
    1. 0.1875 A
    2. 0.2 A
    3. 0.375 A
    4. 60 kA
Correct Option: C


I1 = 200 ×
5
400

and I2 = 250 ×
5
400

∴ I2 - I1 =
5
(250 - 220)
400

=
5
× 30 =
3
= 0.375 A
