A technique of predicting magnetising inrush currents in transformers is described. Computed results show an inconsistency
in second harmonic decay resulting detection failure while using conventional second harmonic techniques. A new detection
scheme using real time integration values of the inrush current is proposed to provide reliable relay operation.
