The performance of the negative sequence component and of the space-vector protection algorithms is tested under several internal and/or external fault conditions. The results indicate that the space-vector approach is slightly more sensitive for detecting low-level turn-to-turn winding faults. For more severe defects, the fault detection sensitivity of both methods is similar.engDifferential protectionjournal article10.1109/TIA.2016.2613506
