General
The calculations below are done to check the following.
Protections cores with low impedance protection:
Checking that actual load is less than rated load.
Checking that actual ALF ratio is larger than 40kA.
Protection cores with high impedance protection:
Calculation of operating voltage stable for 40kA through fault
current.
Checking that actual knee point voltage of CT is higher than two
times the operating voltage
Measuring cores:
Checking that actual load is less than rated load.
Checking actual Fs value and propose dummy loads where
necessary not to overload the instruments and meters during
primary faults.
All resistance values on current transformers secondary winding and cables are the values at

CT ratios:
Ratios of CTs used for calculations are as under:
500kV Line CTs 750/1A: ratio shall be used for all metering cores.
500kV Line CTs 2500/1A: ratio shall be used for all Protective cores
except bus bar protection cores, which will use 3000/1A.
220kV Line CTs 600/1A: ratio shall be used for all metering cores.
220kV Line CTs 2400/1A: ratio shall be used for all Protective cores.
220kV Line CTs 2400/1A: ratio shall be used for all cores except
metering core which will use 600/1A.
The burden of each Protection relay & Meter is given Appendix 1.
The Burden from cables on CTs are based on using cable core size of 6mm2
Distance is calculated from foundation plan & maximum distance is taken for all
calculations.

The rated burden is 15VA> 5.15VA, i.e. ok.

Maximum secondary current at actual load (Fs) can be calculated as:
Fs= Esat ( Rct Actualload ) * In
Fs = Instrumental security factor according to IEC 60044
Esat = Current transformer saturation voltage
Rct= Current transformer secondary resistance
In= Current transformer secondary rated current
Fs should be lower than maximum current withstand of the connected meters in order to
protect meters at primary faults in the system.
Insertion of actual burden gives Fs:
Fs = 30 (5 5.15) *1
= 2.95

Total connected burden

1.72VA

The rated burden is 60VA> 1.72VA, i.e. ok.

Actual ALF (ALF) can approx. be calculated as:
ALF= 450 (11 1.72) * 1
=35.38
This corresponds to a primary current of 35.38*2400A =84.91kA>40kA, i.e. ok
Calculation of required operating voltage UR for through falut stability.
UR= Ifmax (Rct + R1) where
Ifmax is the maximum available through fault current (Secondary A)
R1 is the loop cable resitance up to connection point
As maximum through fault current the switchgear design short circuit level is used
Ifmax =40kA
The required operating voltage will be:
UR = 16.67 (11+ 1.72) = 212.04 V
