Hi,

I am looking at using a 1:1:3 summation transformer for a phase comparison system.

For a blue-ground internal fault is it correct that if I find what the fault values are entering from each side of the circuit I can then take 33.3% of each value to see if it is above the threshold of the relay? Ib> 33.3%K

Hi Cerkits
Perhaps is my ignorance in this subject but I have to confess that do not understand the terminologies used and the questions posted.
 
Couple of questions...
most microprocessor relays now don’t need summation transformers. What type of relays are you using?
I may not understand your question exactly...
You want to say a line has a maximum fault level of 1000 amps. Three lines, 3000 amps. The relay need to be set to 1/3 of the summation value. Correct?
