CT requirement for MFAC14

Requirement No.-1
CHK'D

To prevent maloperation of the relay during saturation of the CT on external fault, the relay setting Vs
must be greater than the voltage produced by the maximum secondary flowing through the cable resistance.

Vs > Ithrough * ( 1∕ T ) * ( RLEAD + Ri )

Requirement No.-2
For appropriate application of the relay, the min. primary fault current required to operate
through fault current the relay should be greaer than 10% of the nominal primary full load current.

Iop ≥ 0.1 * IFL

Requirement No.-3
The Knee point voltage must be greater than twice the voltage setting of the relay.
DESCRIPTION

Vkp ≥ 2 * VS
Where,
Iop = Minimum relay primary operating current
Vkp = Knee point voltage of the CT
IFL = Nominal primary full load current
Vs = Relay voltage setting
Ithrough = Maximum through fault current
T = Turns ratio of CT
RLEAD = Connecting cable resistance
Ri = Internal resistance of the CT
IMAG. = CT mag. Current at Vs.

Now , actual operating current of the relay shall be:

IOP1 = T * ( IR + n * IMAG1 )
Where IR = The relay operating current = 0.02 A
CHK'D

(At setting voltage as relay catalouge)

n = No. of current transformer in parallel with relay = 10

Since the magnetizing curve shall be linear in the region upto knee-point voltage , therefore the magnetizing current
at setting voltage can be calculated as under:

IMAG at Vkp is = 0.05 A

IMAG at setting volts is = ( Vs * IMAG ) ∕ Vkp

IMAG1 at setting volts is = 0.00111711712 A

IOP1 = 93.52 A < 263.482 A

DESCRIPTION

SHUNT RESISTOR CALCULATIONS:

As the relay will operate at a current much less than the actual fault current , therefore ,
it may be increased by the addition of a resistor RST to give a current IST to achieve the necessary primary current.

IST1 = (IOP/Tp)-(IR+n*IMAG1)

IST1 = 0.05665616216 A

The value of resistor is:

RST1 = Vs/IST1
RST1 = 2188.641
