Abstract One of transient phenomena that lead to the false trip of the power transformer differential protection during the energization of a loaded power transformer is the ultra-saturation phenomenon. This paper presents, at first, a new algorithm for three-phase power transformer differential protection considering effect of the ultra-saturation phenomenon based on Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). To model the ultra-saturation phenomenon, the nonlinear characteristic of the transformer core and the effect of the saturation of the current transformers are taken into account. It is assumed that the load of the transformer is a resistive and inductive load. In this algorithm, the ultra-saturation phenomenon, the external and internal faults of power transformer and the magnetic inrush current are simulated. To distinguish between these phenomena, appropriate criteria using DWT by the use of standard deviation of coefficients are presented. Also, one of the most important criteria for the digital relays is the time for making a decision. Thus, to determine the time of decision, the experimental results will be presented.
