TRANSFORMER SECONDARY SIDE NEUTRAL CT

Core I :

1.0 CT sizing calculation for 33kV ‐ Definite Time Ground O/C Protection (51NS)

1.1 Basic Data:

Ratio = 900 / 1 A

Accuracy class = 5P10

Burden ( VA ) = 15 VA

1.2 Burdens of relays connected :

IDMT Overcurrent Relay = 0.1 VA

Cable Length ( m ) = 150 m

Cable Size of CT connected = 4 Sqmm

Lead resistance at 75ºC for 4mm 2 copper cable = 5.41 Ω/km

Loop Resistance ( RL) (Ω) = 1.62 (Ω)

Loop Burden ( VA ) = 1.62 VA

Total Meter Burden ( VA ) = 0.1 VA

Total Burden on CT ( VA ) = 1.72 VA

1.3 Selected burden is more than required. HENCE SAFE.

Core II :

1.0 CT sizing calculation for 33kV ‐ Restricted Earth Fault Protection (64R)

1.1 Basic Data:

Ratio = 900 / 1 A

Primary Voltage ( kV ) = 33 kV

Secondar Voltage ( kV ) = 6.6 kV

Accuracy Class = PS

Transformer rating = 8 MVA

Impedence of transformer = 8.35 %

Maximum through fault, MVA = (8 x 100 ) /8.35

= 95.81 MVA

Through Fault current at primary I f = ( 95.81 x 1000 ) / (√3 x 33 )

If = 1676.29 A

Through Fault current at secondary I fs = ( 95.81 x 1000 )/( √3 x 6.6x 900 )

Ifs = 1.863 A
