Biased differential relay

Large external fault may cause false operation of simple differential relay. To make the differential relay more stable to external faults and improve relay quality, its respectively to operation was increased by inserting restraining coils.

Two restraining (Biasing) coils and one operating are used as shown in figure (38). Restraining coils will opposite the operation of operating coil. The relay will operate only when the operating force is higher than restraining force.
