Magnetizing Inrush Current Causing Differential Protection Maloperation in Main Transformer: Why Does the Second-Harmonic Blocking Fail?

After a major overhaul, a 31.5 MVA main transformer was subjected to no-load energization—“Trip!” The differential protection operated—but on-site, there wasn’t the slightest sign of any fault. It wasn’t a fault, yet it resulted in an unplanned power outage: Why, even though it’s a magnetizing inrus
