CURRENT TRANSFORMER REQUIREMENTS FOR VA TECH REYROLLE RELAYS The internal burden of the c.t. (eg. Its secondary resistance) must be taken into account if a true equivalent overcurrent factor is to be established for a lower burden of the load.

Typically the c.t. is specified by means of an accuracy factor and an overcurrent factor up to which the c.t. remains accurate with the maximum specified burden connected to its secondary, eg: 5P10

Typically, c.t. requirements vary dependent on the project specific requirements. requirements. The following considerations considerations must be made. A)

This includes any any emergency rating, rating, eg. of a po power wer transformer transformer where where typically one hour) one hour or two hour overload ratings are often provided.
B)
Accuracy Factor – Typically standard values of 5% or 10% are employed. 5% where current grading requirement are onerous eg. where the circuits being graded have similar ratings and there are several stages stages of grading. In these circumstances an accuracy of 5% assists in allowing small grading grading steps. Accuracy levels of 10% are acceptable where large grading steps can be tolerated and only a small number of grading steps are required.
C)
Overcu Overcurre rrent nt Fact Factor or – The factor factor should should be chosen to ensure:-
5VA
Maximum burden (at c.t. secondary level)
The accuracy limit is in percent, and although termed a composite error (which takes account of polarity error and magnitude error) is effectively the maximum maximum ratio error. The c.t. is more accurate at current current values up up to full load. load. Beyond full load, up up to the overcurrent overcurrent factor, the error will not exceed the specified value. The overcurrent factor is a multiple of the c.t. rating up to which the c.t. remains within the accuracy limit. Thus in the example example of a 5P10, 5P10, 5VA c.t., this will will transform primary current within the accuracy limit of 5% when a burden of 5VA (at rated current) is connected to the c.t. secondary, for a primary current up to 10x its rating. If the load burden is less than the rated burden a higher overcurrent factor can be tolerated, although not necessarily exactly in inverse proportion, i.e. half the burden, twice the overcurrent factor does not necessarily apply.

That any a.c. saturatio saturation n due due to a very very large large primary current is not so sever as to result in insufficient energy in the secondary waveform to prevent the relay from operating. Provided the above criterion are met it is not necessary to select an overcurrent factor which ensures the maximum fault current can be accurately transformed. transformed.
d) Burden Burden – this is the load load burden burden in VA, VA, at the rated rated c.t. secondary current, of all equipment connected to the c.t. secondary, including all pilot burden. Pilot burden can be significant, particularly for 5 amp rated rated c.t’s. c.t’s. Most modern modern protection protection relays (static or numeric) represent a fixed burden no matter what the setting. However, for electroelectromechanical relays, the burden may be dependent on the setting of the relay. Examples of typical applications are as follows. •
I.D.M.T.L. Overcurrent
a) For industrial industrial system systems s with relative relatively ly low fault fault current and no onerous grading requirements – a class 10P10 with rated burden to suit the load. b) For utility utility distribution distribution network networks s with relatively relatively high high fault current and several grading stages - a class 5P20, with rated burden to suit the load. Note: Where the maximum fault level is considerably considerably higher than the overcurrent factor and therefore the c.t. secondary current could be significantly lower than that equivalent to the primary current (due to a.c. saturation), it is necessary to consider any effect on the protection system performance, eg. grading margins. For i.d.m.t.l. applications, because the operating time at high fault current is approaching a definite minimum value, partial saturation of the c.t. at values beyond the overcurrent factor has only only a limited effect. effect. However, this must be taken into account in establishing the appropriate setting to ensure proper grading. •
Definite Time and Instantaneous Overcurrent
a) For industrial industrial systems systems with with requiremen requirements ts as for i.d.m.t.l. relays item (a) above, a class 10P 10. b) For utilites utilites as for for (b) above above – a class class 5P 10. Note: Overcurrent factors do not need to be high for definite time protection because once the setting is exceeded accuracy is not important. important. Often, however however there is also the need to consider instantaneous overcurrent protection as part of the same protection system and the settings would normally be of the order of 10x the c.t. c.t. rating or higher. higher. If they are higher higher than 10x then the overcurrent factor must be raised accordingly, eg. to P20. •
Earth Fault Protection
Considerations and requirements for earth fault protection are the same as for overcurrent. Usually the relay employs the same c.t’s eg. three phase mounted c.t’s connected in residual to establish the earth fault current.
The accuracy and overcurrent factors are therefore already fixed and for both these factors the earth fault protection requirements are normally less onerous than for overcurrent. A major consideration for an electro-mechanical relay is its burden at relay setting. Employing a low earth fault setting usually results in a high burden. burden. In these these circumstances the rated burden of the c.t. must be chosen on the basis of the requirements of the earth fault element. 2.

To assess the steady steady state working voltage the impedance’s of the Duobias relays are ignored and only the c.t. winding and interconnecting lead resistance’s considered.

The knee point voltage voltage is expressed as the voltage at fundamental frequency applied to the secondary circuit of the current transformer which when increased in magnitude by 10% causes the magnetising current to increase by 50%. 3 The current current transf transformers ormers should should be be of the low leakage reactance type. Generally most modern current transformers are of this type and there should be no difficulty in meeting this requirement. Low leakage reactance current transformers have a jointless core with the secondary winding evenly distributed along the whole length of the magnetic circuit, and the primary conductor passes through the centre of the core.

Ideally the line c.t. ratios should be selected to allow Duobias-M relay settings for c.t. ratio correction factors to be employed in order to balance the secondary current to normal relay current. This allows maximum sensitivity to be achieved for internal faults.

The current transformer minimum requirements depend on the protection application, the functions employed and the primary circuit configuration.
For satisfactory operation of all functions except the low impedance biased differential function, the use of a class 5P20 to IEC60185, or any equivalent, would be satisfactory for any application since the fault levels never exceed 20 x the the c.t. rating. rating. The VA rating is chosen to allow for all the circuit burden (eg. c.t. secondary cabling and relay burden). For stability of the low impedance biased differential function it may be necessary to provide a design which ensures neither of the two 3-phase sets of c.t’s are overfluxed in the event of re-occurring high magnitude faults with high X/R ratio source source impedance. In these circumstances, where high levels of d.c. component current, long time constants and a long operating time for the network protection may occur, the c.t’s can be left with a high level level of remnant flux. Any subsequent subsequent faults may then cause one of the c.t’s to fully saturate and the differential function mal-operate. If this is possible, e.g. for a directly connected generator (no generator transformer), where the two sets of c.t’s may be supplied by different manufacturers, where there is a multi-shot delayed auto-reclose scheme on feeders local to the grid connection, and the differential setting chosen is very sensitive, it is recommended that any low reactance c.t’s (ie with high remanance factor) factor) should have knee point voltages compliant with the following formula:Vk = 50ln (RCT + 2RL + RR) where maximum through fault current = 10 x ln with maximum X/R = 120.

For impedance earthed neutral, a lower specification can be employed eg 5P5. Use of C.T’s Common to More Than One Relay Generally the c.t’s employed for generator protection should be dedicated to that one duty, for security of the protection. Technically however there is no reason why other equipment may not share the same c.t’s, except that the additional burden should be taken into account and also that the c.t’s for the three phase inputs should have a reasonably balanced burden on each phase. This ensures no possibility possibility of mal-operation mal-operation of the differential function. For the requirement of redundancy, there is no problem with the performance of either relay when connecting two Gamma relays in series. However, we recommend that the redundancy philosophy be extended to include the c.t’s, ie. use separate c.t. secondaries. Use of duplicate Gamma relays, particularly on high rated generator units (eg over 15 MW) provides a high level of security and integrity which is still cost effective. 11

11.1 RHO for low low voltage voltage 3 phase A.C. A.C. motors The RHO 0 relay is compatible with CT’s having either 25mA or 5A secondaries. 25mA rated output c.t’s are recommended for motor currents up to 100A and 5A up to 3000A For 5 amp relay input rating some motor control systems result in high multiples of rated current flowing during the start up period, and for some motors the run-up time may be very long (eg 60 seconds). Because of this there are some limitations on the motor rating that can be utilised with a particular c.t. rating due to the thermal capacity of the relay c.t. input input terminals. If the motor rating is limited to less than 75% of the c.t. rating there is unlikely to be any problem with overheating no matter how onerous the starting current, starting time or number of starts in a period of time for practical considerations. The c.t. classification should be 10P10 or better (eg. 5P10 for improved accuracy) and have a rating to suit the c.t. secondary secondary total burdens, burdens, ie. C.t. C.t. leads, RHO 0 relay and any equipment connected in series with the relay.
The RHO c.t. input circuit burden is fixed and is no greater than 0.25VA, eg 0.01 ohm at 5 amp and the rated burden is therefore established by selecting a value in excess of the c.t. secondary circuit loading eg. for phase inputs:Rated VA
