CT Knee Point Calculation For SGS

1) Five current transformers are required for a bus sectionalizer breaker with the following purposes and specifications: metering, differential protection for 3 phases, and overall protection. 2) The minimum voltage for correct operation (Vk) is calculated to be 1816 volts based on a short circuit current of 50kA, CT dimensioning factor of 2, and lead resistance of 6mm2 copper cable. 3) The CTs must have a maximum resistance of 12 ohms at 75°C and a maximum leakage current of 20mA to limit errors in protection and metering.

Calculation for selecting Vk


If = Short circuit thermal current and its duration- 50KA for 3 secs
Rl = Lead resistance= selecting 6 Sqmm copper cable= Maximum DC resistance per Km= 3.08 Ohms/Km
Vk= K*If [Rct+(2*Rl)]
Where K is CT dimensioning factor i.e., selected as 2
Vk = 2 X 50 [12+(2 X 3.08)]
Vk = 1816 volts
Leakage current shall be limted to 20mA

* CT's shall be at both side limbs of bushings and same for all R,Y,B phases.
