Over Current and Earth Fault Protection
> Instrument Transformers - (ITR)- RMK Site - December 2005 51 51
Factors for Protection
1. Accuracy Limiting Factor

What is Accuracy Limiting factor ?

It is the factor of over current above the rated current which
determines the capability of CT to maintain the error at such
a condition.

2. Composite error

It is the error of the CT when this over current is applied.

> Instrument Transformers - (ITR)- RMK Site - December 2005 52 52
Composite error :
Under steady-state conditions, the r.m.s. value of the
difference between:
a) the instantaneous values of the primary current, and
b) the instantaneous values of the actual secondary
current multiplied by the rated transformation ratio

Factors for Protection
1. Accuracy Limiting Factor/composite error

For e.g if the class designation is 5P20

20 is the Accuracy limiting factor which signifies that when
20 times the rated primary current is applied the composite
error of 5P( +/- 5%) is maintained.


Typical Class designations are

5P10, 5P20, 10P10, 10P20 etc.,

Typical Burden Calculation
400kV Current Transformer Metering core

The max burdens of all the meters/load = 5 VA (approx) considering analog meters
and max lead length for 400kV switchyard = 1000 meters

The control cable size is 2.5 sq.mm. Always 2 runs of cable are used. Resistance of
2.5sq.mm cable is 8.5 ohms per kilometre for 2 runs of cable it is 4.25 Ohms

Therefore the burden of the lead length is = 2* isec
2
* r * 1kM
= 2 *1*1* 4.25
= 8.5 VA
The optimum total burden will be = 5 + 8.5 = 13.5VA

Therefore realistic burden required is 15 or 20VA


> Instrument Transformers - (ITR)- RMK Site - December 2005 62 62

Burden of numerical relay recommended = 2.5 VA ( inclusive of lead length ). The
maximum lead length for 220/132kv switchyard = 500 meters
The control cable size is 2.5 sq.mm. Always 2 runs of cable are used. Resistance of
2.5sq.mm cable is 8.5 ohms per kilometre for 2 runs of cable it is 4.25 Ohms

Therefore the burden of the lead length is = 2* isec
2
* r * 500/1000
= 2 *1*1* 4.25*0.5
= 4.25 VA
the optimum total burden = 2.5 +4.25 = 7 VA

Therefore realistic burden required for class 5P cores is 15 VA

NOTE: FOR 400KV CT's ONLY CLASS PS CORES
ARE USED. HENCE THIS CALCULATION IS

> Instrument Transformers - (ITR)- RMK Site - December 2005 88 88
In steady state, the CVT secondary voltage is a
reliable representation of the primary voltage.
In case of sudden change in the primary voltage
(like a short circuit), the voltage output will be
distorted (high error) during a few cycles.
The above transient error will depend on:
The burden connected to the CVT
The moment of the voltage interruption.
The transient response will be improved by adding
a damping circuit connected on the secondary

- the possible burden in the highest accuracy class with 1 winding
- the difference between the different burdens
- the mutual influence of the secondaries
Ex.: Accuracy VA max Total VA to be shared

TRANSFORMER METERING WINDING IN A 400KV SUBSTATION


The max burdens of all the meters/load = 28 VA (approx) when analog meters are
considered and max lead length for 400kv switchyard = 1000 meters

The control cable size is 2.5 sq.mm. Always 2 runs of cable are used. Resistance of
2.5sq.mm cable is 8.5 ohms per kilometre for 2 runs of cable it is 4.25 Ohms


Therefore the burden of the lead length is = 2* isec

* r * 1km
= 2 * (28/63.5
)2*
4.25*1
= 1.70 VA
The optimum total burden = 28 +1.7 = 29.7 VA
Therefore realistic burden required is 50 VA
