Since sensitive settings and fast operation are usually not possible with overcurrent relays, they will provide limited protection for internal transformer faults. Since the pickup value of phase overcurrent relays must be high enough to take advantage of the overload capabilities of the transformer and be capable of withstanding energizing inrush currents, insensitive settings result.
