    There are two primary methods for CT testing: primary current injection and primary nominal current injection. Primary current injection uses a test set to supply current and measure accuracy, and is best for commissioning when high accuracy isn't required due to its lighter equipment. Primary nominal current injection uses reference transformers and measuring bridges for greater accuracy, making it suitable for factories and calibration, but requires heavier equipment that is less mobile and has safety concerns due to working with high currents.

    Advantages and disadvantages of different CT testing methods

    Method Primary nominal current injection Primary current injection

    >> Reference transformers and measuring


    Setup bridges
    >> Test set for current supply and measurement

    >> Used in factories, calibration laboratories >> Used during commissioning if high accuracy
    Usage and on-site mounted on a test truck is not required

    IP IS IP IS

    Principle

    >> Performed with very high currents


    Safety (nominal and overcurrent magnitudes)
    >> Currents up to 1000 A

    >> Insufficient for high-accuracy


    metering CTs
    Accuracy >> High accuracy
    >> Sensitive to transient distortion if line
    frequency test signals are being used

    >> ~ Two tons of equipment


    >> ~ 30 kg / 66 lbs (without additional
    Mobility (test truck, high-current source, heavy
    equipment such as a burden box)
    cables, current box, ...)

    >> Rewiring is required between single


    >> The heavy equipment requires several tests (for example, ratio, polarity,
    Handling people to set up and perform the test saturation, winding resistance)
    >> Results must be assessed manually
