4.1 33/11.55kV, 15MVA Transformer Incomer Feeder
4.1.1 CT’s for Metering and Transducers

CT Ratio:
800-900 / 1A
Type of Metering:
It is proposed to use Bay Control Unit(BCU) type REF542 Plus.
Transformer full load current on secondary side ( considering tap setting at – 15% )
= 15000/(√3*11.55*0.85)
= 882.12 Amps
Hence it is proposed to provide 800-900 / 1A CT for metering.
Total burden of bay control unit = 0.1 VA (Refer REF542 Plus catalogue)
Maximum burden of Current Transducer = 2 VA (Actual is 0.2VA)
Maximum burden of Power Transducer = 2 VA
Maximum burden of Power factor Transducer = 2 VA
The transducers are located in LDC cubicle.
Minimum length of cable = 40 meters(As per equipment layout)

between CT and transducers
Rev - A
Size of cable = 4 sqmm

Resistance of cable per = 4.61 Ohms (as per Ducab cable catalogue)
km at 20 deg C
Resistance of cable at = 4.61(1+0.00393 (55-20) )

55 deg C, considering
temperature correction factor
= 5.244 ohm/km
Total resistance = 2 x 5.244 x 40 / 1000
(Lead & Return conductors) = 0.42 Ω
Burden due to lead resistance = Total resistance x (CT secondary current)2
= 0.42 x 12
= 0.42 VA
Total burden = Burden of BCU+Burden of transducers+Burden due to lead resistance
= 0.1 + 6 + 0.42 = 6.52 VA
Considering 25% future margin
Total burden required =1.25 x 6.52 = 8.15 VA
Hence a standard burden rating of 15 VA is chosen for a Tap of 800A and 30VA
chosen for a Tap of 900A.
The CT Accuracy Class selected is CL. 0.5S as per the specification requirements.
The instrument security factor (ISF) selected is less than or equal to Five(5) as per
the specification requirements.
Abstract
Therefore a CT of CL. 0.5,15VA is proposed for 800-900/1A and CL. 0.5,30VA is
proposed for 800-900/1A.The CTs are with a factor of safety less than or equal to 5.
4.1.2 CT’s for Differential Protection and REF Protection:

CT Ratio:
900/1
Type of relay: RET 316*4 (ABB make)
Knee Point Voltage for Calculation for Differential Protection:
Fault current rating of 11 kV switchgear = 31.5 kA
As per ESI Standard 48-3 enclosed the formulae for calculating Knee Point Voltage is
VK = If * N * (Rct+Rl)
Where If = fault current
N = Turns Ratio
Rct = CT secondary resistance
Rl = Lead resistance
Maximum fault current carrying capacity of 11 kV switchgear is 31.5 kA ,which can be
considered for knee point calculation.
Rev - A
If = 31500 Amps
N = 1/900
Rct = 7Ω (As per Manufacturers Recommendations)
The differential relay is mounted on 33kV relay panel which is located in control room.
between CT and relay
km at 20 deg C

= 5.244 ohm/km
= 0.42 x 12

Therefore, substituting the above values in the formula for Vk,
VK = 31500* (1/900) * (7 + 0.42 )
VK = 259.7V
VK > 400V
Therefore a CT of 900/1A, CL. X, VK > 400V is proposed. Imag shall be 30mA @

Recommendations from Consultant/Client for Differential Core requirement :

Further, to avoid mal-operation on energization of power transformer and in
connection with fault current that passes through power transformer, the rated
secondary voltage has to satisfy the following conditions:
Condition-1
The core may not saturate for current lower than 30 times the Power
Transformer rated current at connected burden. This ensures stability also
with heavy DC saturation.
Vk ≥ 30 * Int * (Rct + Rl + Rr / Ir2)
Where,
Int = Main CT secondary current corresponding to rated primary
current of power transformer
Rr = Relay burden
Rev - A
Ir = Nominal relay current

Full load current of the transformer = (15000 / 1.732 * 11) = 787 Amps.
Vk ≥ 30 * (787/900) * (7+0.42 + 0.1 / 12)
Vk ≥ 187V
The knee point voltage proposed by us is 400V.
Hence this condition is Verified.
Condition-2
The core may not saturate for current lower than 4 times the maximum
through fault current at connected burden.
Vk ≥ 4 * Ift * (Rct + Rl + Rr / Ir2)
Where,
Ift = Maximum secondary side through fault current
Rr = Relay burden
Impedance of transformer = 10%
Through fault current = 787 / 0.1 = 7870 Amps
Secondary side through fault current = 7870 / 900 = 8.75 Amps.
Hence Vk ≥ 4 * (7870/900) * (7+ 0.42 + 0.1 / 12)
Vk ≥ 263 V
Abstract
Therefore a CT of Vk > 400V is proposed for 900/1A.Imag shall be 30mA @ Vk/2
REF Protection Core Knee Point Calculations

CT Ratio:
900/1
Type of relay: SPAJ 115C (ABB make)
The REF relay is mounted on 33kV relay panel, which is located in control room.
The knee-point voltage Vk should be 2 times higher than the stabilising voltage Vs
required in through fault conditions:
Vk = 2 x Vs = 2 x Ikmax x (Rct + Rl) / n
Rev - A
Where,
Vs = stabilising voltage
Ikmax = the maximum through fault current
According to ESI Standard 48, the voltage set on the relay is chosen such that the
stability of the protection during a through fault being taken as 16 times of the rated
transformer current.
Ikmax = 16 x Transformer rated secondary current = 16 x 882.12 = 14114 amp
Rct = Internal resistance of the current transformer = 7 ohms
Rl = total lead resistance = 0.42 ohms
n = turns ratio of the current transformer = 900
Substituting the above values in the equation the stabilising voltage,
Vs = 16 x 882.12 x (7 + 0.42) / 900
= 116.36 Volts
Hence, Vk = 2 x Vs
Vk = 2 x 116.36 V = 232.72 V
Abstract
Since the CT Requirement of the REF and Differential Core is the same, we propose
to use a common core for both. Therefore a CT of Vk > 400V is proposed for 900/1A.
Imag shall be 30mA @ Vk/2
4.1.3 CT for Standby Earth Fault (SBEF) Protection:

CT Ratio:
800-900/1(As calculated in 4.1.1 above)
This CT is located on the transformer neutral.
Type of relay: REJ 521 (ABB make)
Fault current rating of 11kV switchgear = 31.5kA
The SBEF relay is mounted on 33kV relay panel which is located in control room.
Burden of relay = 0.1VA (As per relay catalogue)

= 0.5244 VA
Total burden = Burden of the relay + Burden due to lead
resistance
= 0.1 + 0.5244
= 0.6244 VA
Hence a standard burden rating of 10 VA is chosen for a Tap of 800A and a burden
of 15 VA is chosen for a Tap of 900A.
The CT Accuracy Class selected is CL. 5P20 as per the specification requirements.
For a Tap of 800A
To ensure correct operation of the connected relay in case of faults, the CT must be
able to transform the maximum symmetrical short circuit current without saturation.
To satisfy the above, following condition to be checked:
Koalf ≥ Iscc / Ipn
Where, Ipn = CT primary nominal current = 800A
Iscc = max. symmetrical short circuit current = 31.5kA
Koalf = Operating accuracy limiting factor
The operating accuracy limiting factor (Koalf) depends on the nominal accuracy limiting
factor (Knalf), the nominal CT burden (Pn), the internal CT burden (Pi) and the total
connected burden (Pb).
Pn + Pi
Koalf = Knalf x
Pb + Pi
Where,
Knalf = 20
Pn = Nominal CT burden = 10 VA
Pi = Internal CT burden

The REF relay is mounted on 33kV relay panel, which is located in control room.
The knee-point voltage Vk should be 2 times higher than the stabilising voltage Vs
required in through fault conditions:
Vk = 2 x Vs = 2 x Ikmax x (Rct + Rl) / n
Where,
Vs = stabilising voltage
Ikmax = the maximum through fault current
According to ESI Standard 48, the voltage set on the relay is chosen such that the
stability of the protection during a through fault being taken as 16 times of the rated
transformer current.
Ikmax = 16 x Transformer rated secondary current = 16 x 1050 = 16796 amp
Rct = Internal resistance of the current transformer = 10.5 ohms
Rl = total lead resistance = 0.524 ohms

Substituting the above values in the equation the stabilising voltage,
Vs = 16 x 1050 x (10.5 + 0.5244) / 1200

Transformer Short Circuit current is limited by the 5% impedence of the
Transformer,
Hence,
Iscc = 500/(√3*110.05)
= 530 Amps
Iscc / Ipn = 530 / 30X 0.05
= 17
Thus from the above calculations it’s also evident that,the actual short Circuit
withstand of the CT is 430 x 30 =12.9kA
Note: As the ratio of CT for auxiliary transformer is very low i.e 30 / 1A as per
the specification requirement, the best CT size realized to be accommodated
will be 30/1A, 5P20, 6VA with 31.5kA for 1sec short circuit level. Due to
limitation on CT dimension imposed by low CT ratio and CT short circuit
withstand capacity restricted to 31.5kA for 1 sec., We request you kind approval
for the same.
