Example 1: A 1200/5, C400 CT with excitation curves shown on above figure, is connected to a 2.0Ω burden. Based on the accuracy classification, what is the maximum symmetrical fault current that may be applied to this CT without exceeding a 10% ratio error? Answer: Based on the criteria that the CT can deliver 20 times rated secondary current without exceeding a 10% ratio error, the maximum fault current will be 24000A. However, with a 2.0Ω burden, this will result in a voltage below the knee point of the CT and, as a practical matter, it will be within 10% accuracy at higher currents. This can only be accurately determined from excitation or ratio correction curves and not from the accuracy classification. For example, a CT with characteristics shown in above figure will produce between 180-240A without exceeding the 10% ratio error, depending on the power factor of the 2.0Ω burden. Example 2: A 1200/5, C400 CT is connected on the 1000/5 tap. What is the maximum secondary burden that can be used and still maintain rated accuracy at 20 times rated symmetrical secondary current? Answer: Since the secondary voltage capability is directly proportional to the connected tap, the CT will support a voltage of 1000/1200400V or 333V. Twenty times the rated secondary current is 100A. Therefore, the maximum burden is 333V/100A or 3.33 Ω Example 3: Assume that secondary burden in a relay circuit is 5Ω. The relay setting is 2A and the CT ratio is 300/5. Using above figure, calculate the primary current required to operate the relay? Answer: VB=5 Ω times 2A=10V The secondary exciting current from above figure is approximately 0.04A. = 300/5(0.04+2) A=122A Example 4: A relay is expected to operate for a 7000A primary current. The CT ratio is 600/5. Secondary burden is 3.5 Ω. What is the error for the CT shown in above figure? Answer: The total secondary fault current is (7000/600)5=58A. Assume that exciting
