TYPES OF C.T. CONSTRUCTION CURRENT TRANSFORMERS   TYPES OF C.T. CONSTRUCTION The most common type of C.T. construction is the “DOUGHNUT” type. It is constructed of an iron toroid, which forms the core of the transformer, and is wound with secondary turns.   Secondary Winding Primary Conductor Iron Core The `doughnut' fits over the primary conductor, which constitutes one primary turn. If the toroid is wound with 240 secondary turns, then the ratio of the C.T. is 240 : 1 or 1200 : 5A The continuous rating of the secondary winding is normally 5 AMPS in North America, and 1 AMP or 0.5 AMP in many other parts of the world. This type of `doughnut' C.T. is most commonly used in circuit breakers and transformers. The C.T. fits into the bushing `turret', and the porcelain bushing fits through the centre of the `doughnut'. Up to four C.T.'s of this type can be installed around each bushing of an oil circuit breaker. This arrangement is shown in the following diagram.

_____________________ Transformer ratio (TR) Primary Current Secondary Current Transformer Ratio = _____________________ Primary Current (100 amps) Secondary Current (5 amps) 100 5 ___ = 100:5 or 20:1

CT Rating Factor (RF) -- IEEE Rated current x (RF) = Maximum continuous current carrying capability: Without exceeding temperature limits Without loss of published accuracy class Typical rating factors for Metering CTs are: 1.0, 1.33, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0

CT CLASSIFICATION for Metering A current transformer for metering purposes may typically have an accuracy of 0.3%. The C.T. must maintain this accuracy for normal load currents, provided the rated burden on the C.T. is not exceeded. It is quite acceptable, and in fact desirable, for the C.T. to saturate when fault current flows. The accuracy for a typical metering C.T. is specified as:   0.3 M 0.9 O.3% METERING O.9 OHMS BURDEN This metering C.T. has an accuracy of 0.3% when the connected burden does not exceed 0.9 OHMS.

Standard Relay Accuracy Classes IEEE CT Relay Accuracy Protection CT Standard Relay Accuracy Classes C or T100 C or T200 C or T400 C or T800 What do these mean?

IEEE CT Relay Accuracy Relay class (C or T___ ) designates minimum secondary terminal volts… At 20 times rated current Without exceeding 10% ratio error Into a maximum specified burden Now that everyone is totally confused let’s look at some simple examples …

CT CLASSIFICATION for RELAYING Protection Class CT’s - Must supply 20 times rated current 10 C 400 Format Accuracy Voltage at 20 times CT Letter CT Classification for relaying Over the years many standards for CT classification have been developed in North America and Europe. Protection class CT’s are assumed to be able to supply 20 times its rated secondary current to the relay. That means for a 5 amp rated secondary the CT must be able to supply 100 Amps of current, and for a 1 amp rated secondary the CT must be able to supply 20 Amps of current. The operating principals of CT’s are specified in a format such as this. The first number represents the maximum amount of error, listed in as a percentage, that this CT will produce. Therefore, the 10 in our example stands for no more then 10 percent error. The second item, which is always a letter, can either be a T, C, K, L, or H. If the letter is a T which stands for “test”, it means that the CT accuracy can only be determined by testing the CT. Current transformers with non-distributed windings fit in this category. If the letter is a C or a K which stands for “Calculated”, it means the CT accuracy can be determined by performing calculation using given excitation characteristics. CTs with fully distributed windings, (bushing CT’s for instance) fit in this category. If the letter is an L, this indicates that the CT has a “Low internal secondary impedance,” If the letter is an H, this indicates that the CT has a “high internal secondary impedance,” T = Determined by test C = Calculated K = Calculated L = Low internal secondary impedance H = High internal secondary impedance

IEEE CT Relay Accuracy C or T100 example Secondary current 100 amps (20 x 5) X1 X2 Burden of Devices () Primary current 24,000 amps (20 x 1200) Total Ext Burden 1.0  Terminal Volts = 100 CT 1200:5 C or T100 Burden of Leads () Terminal Volts = (20 times rated) (Total external burden) 100 Volts = (100 amps) (1.0  )

IEEE CT Relay Accuracy C or T200 example Secondary current 100 amps (20 x 5) X1 X2 Burden of Devices () Primary current 24,000 amps (20 x 1200) Total Ext Burden 2.0  Terminal Volts = 200 CT 1200:5 C or T200 Burden of Leads () Terminal volts = (20 times rated) (Total external burden) 200 Volts = (100 amps) (2.0  )

IEEE CT Relay Accuracy Standard IEEE CT Burdens (5 Amp) (Per IEEE Std. C57.13-1993)

IEEE CT Relay Accuracy Excitation curve includes voltage required to overcome internal resistance (DCR) of CT. Approximately 32 volts. 10% ratio error = (20 x 5) (10%) = (100) (0.10) = 10 amps This Ct is not a C200. Since you can only produce 209 volts, when you take the 32 volts from internal resistance you only have 177 Volts so you can only rate it at C100 How many terminal volts would you estimate this CT can produce?

With 10% error, IB is anywhere from 4.5 to 5.5 amps 1000:5 CT IB >4.5 amps 1000 Amps 5amps IE<0.5amps With 10% error, IB is anywhere from 4.5 to 5.5 amps Most Protection CT’s also have a Metering CT accuracy so you could use this value for calculating the error at lower currents

CT Burden Calculation How do we calculate this? Secondary current X1 X2 Primary Current Burden of Devices () Total Burden ZT CT Burden of Leads ()

CT Burden Calculation ZT = RCT + RL + ZB ZT = Total burden in ohms (vector summation of resistance and inductance components) RCT = CT secondary resistance in ohms @75 deg C (DCR) RL = Resistance of leads in ohms (Total loop distance) ZB = Device impedance in ohms Assumption: 3 phase CTs are “Y” connected

GE Multilin Electronic Relay Burden VA = VI. V= IR, So 0.2 = I*I*R. .2/25 = .008 ohms

100:5 C.T. Secondary Winding Resistance (DCR) = .062 ohm Resistance of Cable from C.T. to Relay and back = .1 ohms Resistance of Relay Coil = .02 ohms Total Resistance = .182 ohms .062 .02 .1 If we have a fault of 2,000 amps and the C.T. ratio is 100:5 then the C.T. secondary current is 100 amps. Therefore we will produce a voltage of 100 amps x .182 ohms = 18.2 Volts. To prevent CT saturation, select a CT with a knee point above 18.2 Volts. In this example the resistance of the C.T. secondary circuit, or C.T. burden is: C.T. Secondary Winding Resistance = 1 OHM Resistance of Cable from C.T. to Relay = 2 OHMS Resistance of Relay Coil = 2 OHMS Total Resistance of C.T. Secondary Circuit = 5 OHMS   If the fault current is 12,000 Amps, and the C.T. ratio is 1200 : 5A, then the C.T. secondary current is 50 Amps. At this secondary current and the above C.T. burden of 5 OHMS, the C.T. must produce a terminal voltage of 250 volts. For the C.T. to operate with good accuracy, without saturating for the maximum fault current, the knee point must be well above 250 volts.

1000:5 C.T. Secondary Winding Resistance (DCR) = .32 ohm 780-102 is a 1000 to 5 CT, Class C100 1000:5 C.T. Secondary Winding Resistance (DCR) = .32 ohm Resistance of Cable from C.T. to Relay and back = .1 ohms Resistance of Relay Coil = .008 ohms Total Resistance = .428 ohms .32 .008 .1 If we have a fault of 20,000 amps and the C.T. ratio is 1000:5 then the C.T. secondary current is 100 amps. Therefore we will produce a voltage of 100 amps x .428 ohms = 42.8 Volts. To prevent CT saturation, select a CT with a knee point above 42.8 Volts. What happens if the fault current is 40,000 amps? Here is another exampe with very high resistance in the circuit. In this example the resistance of the C.T. secondary circuit, or C.T. burden is: C.T. Secondary Winding Resistance = 1 OHM Resistance of Cable from C.T. to Relay = 2 OHMS Resistance of Relay Coil = 2 OHMS Total Resistance of C.T. Secondary Circuit = 5 OHMS   If the fault current is 12,000 Amps, and the C.T. ratio is 1200 : 5A, then the C.T. secondary current is 50 Amps. At this secondary current and the above C.T. burden of 5 OHMS, the C.T. must produce a terminal voltage of 250 volts. For the C.T. to operate with good accuracy, without saturating for the maximum fault current, the knee point must be well above 250 volts.

Factors Influencing CT Accuracy Frequency “Low frequency” and “High accuracy” are not friends!! Current Ratio “Low ratio” and “high accuracy” are not friends!! Burden “High burden” and “High Accuracy” are not friends!!

CT Saturation What is CT Saturation?

Power Systems Relay Committee (PSRC) Saturation Calculator Note in the first cycle the secondary current does not saturate as quickly as in the second cycle. This is called time to saturate.

Factors Affecting Degree of Saturation and Time to Saturation DC Offset Fault Magnitude (symmetrical current) 100 to 5 CT@20 times= 2000 amps, at 20,000 amps we have 200 times CT CT Turns Ratio Secondary Burden CT Accuracy Remanence Flux Can occur if current interrupted when core is saturated If DC flows in windings during testing Need a voltage above 60% of knee point to reduce the remanence to less than 10% of saturation flux density.

Tips for Avoiding CT Saturation Use higher ratio CTs Use separate set of high ratio CTs for high fault current tripping Reduce secondary burden Select low burden relays & meters Distribute single phase burdens among phases Increase size of secondary leads Reduce length of secondary leads Use “step down” auxiliary CTs

Potential Transformers

Definitions Voltage Transformer (VT) An instrument transformer used to reflect a primary voltage into a secondary voltage through a magnetic medium. Always connected in parallel with primary conductor across a circuit load. Secondary (measuring) voltage is usually 115 or 120 volts nominally. The secondary voltage level is selected for ease of measurement and safety. Control Power Transformer (CPT) Designed to provide power for contractors, relays and devices with high inrush currents, Regulation is not as critical.

POTENTIAL TRANSFORMERS VP 14,400/120 = 120/1 4200/120 = 35/1 2400/120 = 20/1 Potential Transformers Potential transformers are used to isolate and step down and accurately reproduce the scaled voltage for the relay. The primary side of a PT needs to have the System voltage, symbolized as Vp, applied across the input terminals as shown here. The Secondary side of the PT will then accurately replicates a scaled down version the primary voltage over a defined voltage range . The secondary voltage is symbolized as Vs. There are two types of potential transformers: Electromagnetic voltage transformer and the capacitive voltage transformers. Vs Relay

Take Home Rule # 1 Never open circuit a current transformer secondary while the primary is energized CTs are intended to be proportional current devices. Very high voltages can result from open circuiting the secondary circuit of an energized CT. Even very small primary currents can cause damage… Consult the factory if you have questions.

Take Home Rule # 2 Never short circuit the secondary of an energized VT VTs are intended to be used as proportional voltage devices. Damaging current will result from short circuiting the secondary circuit of an energized VT.

Take Home Rule # 3 Metering applications do not require a “C” class CT “C” class ratings are specified for protection purposes only. With some exceptions metering class CTs are typically smaller and less expensive.

Take Home Rule # 4 CT secondary leads must be added to the CT burden Electronic relays usually represent very little burden to the CT secondary circuit. In many cases the major burden is caused by the CT secondary leads.

Take Home Rule # 5 Never use a 60 Hz rated VT on a 50 Hz System 60 Hz VTs may saturate at lower frequencies and exceed temperature limitations. VT failure is likely…severe equipment damage is possible.

Take Home Rule # 6 Exercise caution when connecting grounded VTs to ungrounded systems Line to ground voltage on any VT may exceed the primary voltage rating during a fault condition… VT must be designed for application.

Take Home Rule # 7 It is common practice to apply 600 Volt CT to systems with higher voltages. This practice is done by passing fully insulated conductors through the Window.
