Abstract: 
Transformer protection devices are often used to identify internal or external transformer problems and act to either prevent damage or unnecessarily disconnect power transformers. This study proposes a new differential element that combines harmonic restraint, security, and reliability with harmonic blocking speed to improve the relay performance in a power transformer. Under high load, a negative-sequence differential element adds more sensitivity for internal turn-to-turn failures. External fault detection monitoring enhances security in an external problem involving current transformer (CT) saturation. Furthermore, overcurrent elements may be configured to vary dynamically in operation is provided. This element enhances protection coordination for various operating conditions without requiring modifications to the transformer group settings. The balance of the paper discusses the use of an under-load tap changer using a time-synchronized phasor monitoring system to reduce loop current and losses in parallel transformer applications.
