what is the use of neutral displacement relay

Answer Posted / loboreliance2003

The relay comprises an attracted armature element fed via a
rectifier and series resistor. It can be provided with
either a fixed
setting, or variable settings using a plug bridge. It has a
minimum
withstand of rated voltage continuously.
Operation of Neutral Voltage Displacement Relays
The zero sequence current that flows for an earth-fault on
an un-earthed network is determined by the capacitance of
the cable to earth. This flow of current leads to a rise in
the voltage of the neutral point of the incoming supply
(the star-point of either the generator or transformer). It
is this rise that is detected by a neutral voltage
displacement relay. If the network is quite small (i.e.
short cables), then the zero-sequence voltage will be
unstable. This is why an instantaneous relay is only
generally used to provide an alarm. In the event of a
fault, neutral voltage protection cannot detect the
location of a fault, so all sources of supply should be
disconnected.

I have a current transformer with 1 main reading meter with transformer outside the building and a control panel having 5 CT reading meters with black round coils inside the building. I want to know, A) when current pass through the Transformers, will the current be reduced or be the same and after that B) when current pass through the CT meters with black round coils, will the current be reduced or be the same. C) in the above process will the reading of the main meter be same or different, from the total reading of all the 5 CT meters.
