Application Guidelines for Ground Fault Protection
A ground relay must detect all phase-to-ground faults within its defined zone of protection under conditions which produce minimum fault current. The ground relay zone of protection can be defined as a current threshold or measured impedance. The classical method for detecting ground faults on a looped system has been to use directional

If you must protect the Ethernet cable side of the transformer, you simply might put a TVS between signals of the pair. That will protect the transformer from differential voltage within a pair. For PoE purposes, you might need ESD protection between the center taps on the cable side too, which means protection between pairs.

What is a voltage differential in a fuseless capacitor bank?
When voltage differential is used for a fuseless capacitor bank, the bottom can in each phase is a single element protection module (PM). The voltage differential relay (87V) is connected to look at the difference between the bus voltage and the protection module voltage (see Figure 4).
Are shunt capacitor banks grounded or ungrounded?
The capacitor banks may be applied grounded or ungrounded. There are many shunt capacitor bank designs and methods of protection that are applied at all sub-transmission and transmission voltage levels up to 765 kV. The application and protection of shunt capacitor banks are discussed in References 2 and 3.
How do capacitor banks protect against overvoltage?
For all types of capacitor banks, protection against overvoltages that are caused by excessively high system voltage is generally provided by a high speed overvoltage relay connected to the substation bus voltage transformers. This relay trips the capacitor bank breaker or vacuum interrupter before capacitor damage can occur.
Is tapping across a low-voltage capacitor suitable for fuseless capacitor banks?
Tapping across the low-voltage capacitors is suitable for fuseless capacitor banks. The are certain faults within the bank that the unbalance protection will not detect or other means are required for its clearance.
How can a capacitor overvoltage be prevented?
A continuous overvoltage (above 1.1pu) on any unit shall be prevented by means of protective relays that trip the bank. Unbalance protection normally senses changes associated with the failure of a capacitor element or unit and removes the bank from service when the resulting overvoltage becomes excessive on the remaining healthy capacitor units.
Can a voltage unbalance scheme be used to protect a capacitor bank?
Any scheme such as that of Figure 4(a) using a single neutral quantity, either voltage or current, to provide unbalance protection for the capacitor bank is subject to incorrect operation due to system voltage unbalance.
