will result in a spill that ows through the relay. To determine the maximum possible amplitude of the spill current assume one CT is fully saturated, i.e. its magnetising impedance is zero (Zeh = 0) and the other CT is non-saturated, i.e. its magnetising impedance is very large (Zeg = ). With reference to Figure 6.12b and the assumptions about the magnetising impedances, the voltage across the relay is V = Ish(Rlh + Rsh) and the current through the relay is IR = V/RR. If the relay resistance is high (i.e. RR >> Rlh + Rsh) then Ish Isg. The spill current can be reduced to a value below the operating threshold of the relay by a suitable choice of RR. The resistor that must be connected in series with the relay to increase the self-resistance of the relay to RR is known as the stabilising resistor. A suitable choice will ensure stability during all external faults, irrespective of the magnetic history of the CTs, and permit sensitive operation on all internal faults.
