How To CA Culate CT Kneepoint Calcs
How To CA Culate CT Kneepoint Calcs
to a kneepoint voltage.
The suitability of an IEC standard protection class current transformer can
be checked against the kneepoint voltage requirements specified.
If, as in your example, the available current transformers have a 3000/1A
30VA 5P 10 designation, then an estimated kneepoint voltage can be obtained as
follows:
Where:
Vk = Required kneepoint voltage
VA = Current transformer rated burden (VA)
ALF = Accuracy limit factor
In = Current transformer secondary rated (A)
Rct = Resistance of current transformer secondary winding
If Rct is not available, then the second term in the above equation can be
ignored.
Example: 3000/1A, 30VA 5P 10, Rct=10 ohms
Vk = 400V
