Current Transformer Sizing Best Practices for Reliable Protection
Quick Definition: Current transformer sizing is the process of selecting a CT ratio, burden, and accuracy class that converts primary current to a manageable secondary value without
Relay protection CT value
The “C” Class rating of a protection CT is usually shown next to the CT ratio on drawings and performance charts, and is a value in volts. For example, a CT labeled “600:5 C100” has a ratio N = 30 (600/5) and a “C” rating of 100 volts. Keywords: CT MODEL, CT SATURATION, DIFFERENTIAL SLOPE, BLACK START, CT RATIO. Modern relays often have algorithms that enhance the security of elements that are otherwise susceptible to current transformer (CT) saturation. Correct CT selection and application directly influence: Billing accuracy: Misapplied ratio or accuracy class can cause revenue leakage or disputes. Current transformers for protection relays, as opposed to those use strictly for metering pu...
