HighImpedanceDifferential Relay

Since the varistor current within the pickup range of the relay is negligible, minimum fault current to trip is controlled only by the relay burden current and the magnetizing currents of current transformers.

What is the purpose of 87B relay? : r/ElectricalEngineering

When there''s a feeder fault, it''s a race condition to see if the feeder relay or bus diff would trip the feeder breaker. The main benefit is that you can take the feeder relay out of service and still have feeder
