In Transformers, Over Current Protection Serves As Protection

Over current protection in transformers serves as back-up protection and uses circuit breakers controlled by 50/51 relays to sense current levels and send trip signals for transformers over 100kVA. Small distribution transformers are commonly only protected by fuses as primary protection, with 50/51 relays and breakers providing back-up over current protection that operates if the primary protection fails.
