Introduction
Introduction
• Protective relays require reasonably accurate
reproduction of the normal, tolerable, and
intolerable conditions in the power system fro
correct sensing and operation.
• This information input from the power system is
usually through current and voltage transformers.
• Some exceptions, such as temperature and
vibration relays, which receive their information
from other type of transducers.

• Current transformer performance on a symmetrical
AC component
• If the CT does not saturate, it is reasonable to assume
that Ie is negligible.
• However, the CT excitation current is never equal to
zero. Thus, it must be checked to assure that it does not
cause intolerable errors.
• This can be done by one of the three methods: 1) classic
transformer formula, 2) CT performance curves, or 3)
ANSI/IEEE accuracy classes for relaying.

• Current transformer performance check
• CT characteristic curves
• The calculation of the performance with the equivalent circuit
of Fig. 5.6a is difficult.
• ANSI/IEEE (C53.71) classifies CTs that have significant
leakage flux within the transformer core as class T (class H
before 1968)
• The class C (class L before 1968) is CTs constructed to
minimize the leakage flux in the core that can represented by
the Fig. 5.6b.

• Current transformer performance check
• CT characteristic curves
• The knee or effective point of saturation is defined by
ANSI/IEEE standard as the intersection of the curve with 45o
tangent line.
• However, the IEC defines the knee as the intersection of
straight lines extended from the nonsaturated and saturated
parts of the exciting curve.
• The IEC knee is higher voltage than the ANSO curve.

• ANSI/IEEE standard accuracy class
• In many applications, the use of ANSI/IEEE accuracy class
designation is adequate to assure satisfactory relay
performance.
• Manufacturer’s test curves must be used for Class T CTs.
• For class C, the designations are followed by a number
indicating the secondary terminal voltage (Vgh) that the
transformer can deliver to a standard burden at 20 times the
rated secondary current without exceeding the 10% ratio
correction.

• Current transformer performance check
• ANSI/IEEE standard accuracy class
• For relaying, the voltage classes are 100, 200, 400, and 800,
corresponding to standard burdens of B-1, B-2, B-4, and B-8,
respectively.
• These burdens are at 0.5 power factor.
• If the current is lower, the burden can be higher in proportion.
• The lower voltage classes of 10, 20, and 50 with standard
burdens of B-0.1, B-0.2, and B-0.5 at 0.9 power factor are
primary for metering service and should be used very
cautiously for protection.

• Current transformer performance
• Two similar CTs connected in the primary circuit, with
the same ratio and their secondaries in series, will
increase the accuracy capability.
• Two similar CTs, with their secondaries in parallel,
provides an overall lower ratio with higher-ratio
individual CTs and their correspondingly higher
accuracy rating.

• CT selection and performance evaluation for
phase faults
• Assumption
• Imax load = 90A, Imax fault= 2500A, and Imin. fault = 350A.
• CT ratio selection
• The conventional practice, over many years, has been that the
secondary current should be just under 5A for the maximum
load. Therefore, select CT ratio of 100/5 in this case.

• CT selection and performance evaluation for
phase faults
• Select relay tap for the phase-overcurrent relay
• The tap should be higher than 4.5 A
• Small tap 5 is selected
• Minimum fault of 350/20=17.5 A, and 17.5/5=3.5 times the
minimum relay pick up. This is desirable for any possible fault
restriction.
• If tap 6 is selected, then the margin above the load is greater
(6/4.5=1.33), but a smaller margin (17.5/6=2.9) above the
relay pick up.

• CT selection and performance evaluation for
phase faults
• Determine the total secondary burden
• The total connected secondary load determination must
include all of the impedance between the CTs and the
equipment in the phase circuit.
• Assume tap 5 is used and the burden is 2.64 VA at 5A and 580
VA at 20X. Also, the lead from the CT to relay is 0.4.
• The total secondary impedance at pick up:
Relay burden 2.64/52
= 0.106
Lead resistance = 0.40
Total impedance to CT terminals = 0.506 at 5A

• CT selection and performance evaluation for

• The total secondary impedance at 20X:
Relay burden 580/1002
= 0.058
Lead resistance = 0.40
Total impedance to CT terminals = 0.458 at 100A
• It is frequently practical to add the burden impedance and the
current algebraically (they should be combined phasorally)
• Burdens are generally near unity power factor; hence Is tends
to be near unity power factor. Ie (the excitation current) is
around 90o
lagging. Combine Is and Ie at right angle is a good
approximation.

• Use actual relay burden (0.506 or 0.458 in this case)
• When using a class C CT and performance by ANSI/IEEE
standard
• If a 600/5 multiratio CT with C100 rating is selected.
Vgh = (2500/20)*0.458 = 57.25 V
• The C100 600/5 CT on the 100/5 tap can only develop,
Vgh = (100/600)*100 = 16.67 V
• This is not a good selection

• Tap 1.5 is selected.
• Assume the relay burden at 100 A is 1.56.
• Total CT burden is equal to 1.96 (1.56+0.40)
Vgh = (2500/80)*1.96=61.25 V

• The 1.5 A to develop voltage in the relay is

• The secondary resistance of the CT, the leads, and the phase
relay is 0.63 .
• The ground relay has 16  on its 0.5A tap at 68o

• 8 V (0.5A*16 ) will be established at the ground relay.
