Differential Protection: CTs arrangement for star-star connected power transformes?

For differential protection on a delta-star connected power T/F, CTs on delta side are connected in star & CTs on star side are connected in delta to compensate for 30 degree phase shift because of star-delta connection. What will be this arrangement for Star-Star connected T/F?
 
Mr. Phil,

I didn't get it. I am asking that for a star-star connected power T/F, what would or should be CT's connection arrangement on both sides (primary/secondary) for differential protection?
Please explain!
 
In diff protection we have to create phase diff,
so for star star transformer cts should connected in delta delta on both sides.

The answer is using an example of 10 kVA transformer 13.8 kV primer & 4.16 kV secondair. In CT selection 1.5 factor is implemented.
CT ratio at 13.8 kV is 75/1 and 200/1 at 4.16 kV.
CT connection is Star-Star.
CT out put for the relay is 0.836A from 13.8 kV system and 1.04 A from 4.16 kV.

This mismatch can be adjusted if we use a new relay type but for the old type we havew to select tap. Remember connect phase A to phase A, B to B, and C to C for relay relay. Ground the neutral CT at one location, recommended at relay cubicle panel.
 
Yes, I agree with the CT connection suggested.

I would like to know that if I put Star connection of CT's on either side of STAR-STAR transformer then Is there any provision in relay so that we can compensate phase difference??

I am facing same differential problem in STAR STAR.
