CT requirements for metering:

Requirement 1:

The current transformer for metering must have an effective instrument security factor FS’ that is
smaller than the value of the equations below

(𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑅𝑁 )
𝐹𝑆 ′ = 𝐹𝑆 × 𝑆 ≤ 𝐼𝑝𝑜 (Requirement 1)
𝑅𝑐𝑡 +𝑅𝑙 + 2𝑅
𝐼𝑟

Requirement 2:

The ratio of actual burden to rated burden should be the value of equations below:
𝑆
(𝑅𝑐𝑡 +𝑅𝑙 + 2𝑅 )
𝐼𝑟 )
25% ≤ (𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑅𝑁 )
≤ 100% (Requirement 2)

Where,

FS: Instrument Security Factor

RCT: Internal CT burden at 75oC [Ω]

𝑉𝐴
RN: Rated CT burden ( 2 )[Ω]
𝐼𝑛

Rl: Secondary wire burden [Ω]

SR: Rated instrument Burden[VA]

Ir: Rated Secondary Current of Relay [A]

Ipo: Rated instrument minimum permissive overload

<For CT ratio 2000/1>

FS: Instrument Security Factor = 5

RCT: Internal CT burden at 75oC [Ω] = 10 Ω

RN: Rated CT burden = 15 Ω

RL: Secondary wire burden = 1.10721 Ω

SR: Rated instrument burden = 0.0121 Ω

Ir: Rated Secondary Current of Relay [A] = 1A

Ipo: Rated instrument minimum permissive overload = 50

Requirement 1:

10 + 15
𝐹𝑆 ′ = 5 ×
10 + 1.10721 + 0.0121

𝐹𝑆 ′ = 11.24 ≤ 50

Which fulfills requirement 1.

10+1.1072+0.0121
Requirement 2: Ratio =
10+15

= 44.48%

Therefore, Ratio=44.48% and fulfills requirement 2

<For CT ratio 1000/1>

FS: Instrument Security Factor = 5

RCT: Internal CT burden at 75oC [Ω] = 5 Ω

RN: Rated CT burden = 7.5 Ω

RL: Secondary wire burden = 1.10721 Ω

SR: Rated instrument burden = 0.0121 Ω

Ir: Rated Secondary Current of Relay [A] = 1A

Ipo: Rated instrument minimum permissive overload = 50

Requirement 1:

5+7.5
𝐹𝑆 ′ = 5 ×
5+1.10721+0.0121

𝐹𝑆 ′ = 10.2136 ≤ 50

Which fulfills requirement 1.

5+1.10721+0.0121
Requirement 2: Ratio =
5+7.5

= 48.95%

Therefore, Ratio=48.95 % and fulfills requirement 2

SO, CT IS CORRECTLY DIMENSIONED.
