But, as in the voltage transformer, some of the primary current or the primary ampere- turns are utiliz ed for magnetiz ing the core, thus leaving less than the actual primary ampere turns to be transformed into the secondary ampere- turns. This naturally introduces an error in the transformation. The error is classified into current ratio error and the phase error. Top
Rated burden
The apparent power of the secondary circuit in Volt- amperes expressed at the rated secondary current and at a specific power factor.
Composite Error
The RMS value of the difference between the instantaneous primary current and the instantaneous secondary current multiplied by the turns ratio, under steady state conditions.
Class PS/ X CT
In balance systems of protection, CT s with a high degree of similarity in their characteristics are required. These requirements are met by Class PS (X) CT s. Their performance is defined in terms of a knee- point voltage (KPV), the magnetiz ing current (Image) at the knee point voltage or 1/2 or 1/4 the knee- point voltage, and the resistance of the CT secondary winding corrected to 75C. Accuracy is defined in terms of the turns ratio.
Summation CT
When the currents in a number of feeders need not be individually metered but summated to a single meter or instrument, a summation current transformer can be used.The summation CT consists of two or more primary windings which are connected to the feeders to be summated, and a single secondary winding, which feeds a current proportional to the summated primary current. A typical ratio would be 5+5+5/ 5A, which means that three primary feeders of 5 are to be summated to a single 5A meter.
Interposing CT s (ICT s)
Interposing CTs are used when the ratio of transformation is very high. It is also used to correct for phase displacement for differential protection of transformer. SOURCE: Electric Power Substations Engineering By James C. Burke
