Selected knee point voltage for 2000/1 A tap = 4000V(same as that for 400 kV CTs) Note: 1. Since the requirement at 2000/1 A tap is 2V per turn,the selected knee point voltage for 3000/1 A tap is 6000V.This is in line with the knee point voltage requirement being specified for 400 kV CT's . 2. It is intended to use only 3000/1 A or 000/1 A taps for 765 kV line protection.
