4.1.1
CTs for Metering and Transducers

CT Ratio:
800-900 / 1A
Type of Metering:
It is proposed to use Bay Control Unit(BCU) type REF542 Plus.
Transformer full load current on secondary side ( considering tap setting at 15% )
= 15000/(3*11.55*0.85)
= 882.12 Amps
Hence it is proposed to provide 800-900 / 1A CT for metering.
Total burden of bay control unit = 0.1 VA (Refer REF542 Plus catalogue)
Maximum burden of Current Transducer
=
2 VA (Actual is 0.2VA)
Maximum burden of Power Transducer

Total resistance
= 2 x 5.244 x 40 / 1000
(Lead & Return conductors) = 0.42
Burden due to lead resistance = Total resistance x (CT secondary current)2
= 0.42 x 12
= 0.42 VA
Total burden = Burden of BCU+Burden of transducers+Burden due to lead resistance
= 0.1 + 6 + 0.42 = 6.52 VA
Considering 25% future margin
Total burden required
=1.25 x 6.52 = 8.15 VA
Hence a standard burden rating of 15 VA is chosen for a Tap of 800A and 30VA
chosen for a Tap of 900A.
The CT Accuracy Class selected is CL. 0.5S as per the specification requirements.
The instrument security factor (ISF) selected is less than or equal to Five(5) as per
the specification requirements.
Abstract
Therefore a CT of CL. 0.5,15VA is proposed for 800-900/1A and CL. 0.5,30VA is
proposed for 800-900/1A.The CTs are with a factor of safety less than or equal to 5.

As per ESI Standard 48-3 enclosed the formulae for calculating Knee Point Voltage is
VK = If * N * (Rct+Rl)
Where If = fault current

Recommendations from Consultant/Client for Differential Core requirement :
Further, to avoid mal-operation on energization of power transformer and in
connection with fault current that passes through power transformer, the rated
secondary voltage has to satisfy the following conditions:
Condition-1
The core may not saturate for current lower than 30 times the Power
Transformer rated current at connected burden. This ensures stability also
with heavy DC saturation.

The knee point voltage proposed by us is 400V.
Hence this condition is Verified.

The core may not saturate for current lower than 4 times the maximum

Total burden

Hence a standard burden rating of 10 VA is chosen for a Tap of 800A and a burden
of 15 VA is chosen for a Tap of 900A.
The CT Accuracy Class selected is CL. 5P20 as per the specification requirements.

Thus from the above calculations its also evident that,the actual short Circuit
withstand of the CT is 430 x 30 =12.9kA
Note: As the ratio of CT for auxiliary transformer is very low i.e 30 / 1A as per
the specification requirement, the best CT size realized to be accommodated
will be 30/1A, 5P20, 6VA with 31.5kA for 1sec short circuit level. Due to
limitation on CT dimension imposed by low CT ratio and CT short circuit
withstand capacity restricted to 31.5kA for 1 sec., We request you kind approval
for the same.

Document Title : CT / VT calculations for 11kV switchgear for

33/11.55kV, 15MVA Transformer Incomer Feeder

CTs for Metering and Transducers

=1.25 x 6.52 = 8.15 VA

CTs for Differential Protection and REF Protection:

Main CT secondary current corresponding to rated primary

Nominal relay current

Maximum secondary side through fault current

Nominal relay current

2 x Ikmax x (Rct + Rl) / n

the maximum through fault current

16 x Transformer rated secondary current = 16 x 882.12 = 14114 amp

Internal resistance of the current transformer

total lead resistance

turns ratio of the current transformer

Substituting the above values in the equation the stabilising voltage,

16 x 882.12 x (7 + 0.42) / 900

The knee point voltage proposed by us is 400V.

CT for Standby Earth Fault (SBEF) Protection:

=1.25 x 0.6244 = 0.78 VA

CT primary nominal current

max. symmetrical short circuit current =

Operating accuracy limiting factor

Total connected burden

Koalf > Iscc / Ipn

CT primary nominal current

max. symmetrical short circuit current =

Operating accuracy limiting factor

4Ohm (As per Manufacturers recommendations)

Total connected burden

Koalf > Iscc / Ipn

CTs for Overcurrent and Earth Fault Protection:

Considering 25% future margin

=1.25 x 0.1843 = 0.23 VA

CT primary nominal current

max. symmetrical short circuit current =

Operating accuracy limiting factor

Total connected burden

Koalf > Iscc / Ipn

CT primary nominal current

max. symmetrical short circuit current =

Operating accuracy limiting factor

Total connected burden

Koalf > Iscc / Ipn

33/11.55kV, 20MVA Transformer Incomer Feeder

CTs for Metering and Transducers

= 4.61 Ohms (as per Ducab cable catalogue)

=1.25 x 6.73 = 8.41 VA

CTs for Differential Protection and REF Protection:

= 50 meters(As per equipment layout)

Main CT secondary current corresponding to rated primary

Nominal relay current
