Definitions :
Current transformerAn instrument transformer in which the secondary current, in normal conditions of use, is substantiallyproportional to the primary current and differs in phase from it by an angle which is approximately zerofor an appropriate direction of the connections
Current error (ratio error)The error which a transformer introduces into the measurement of a current and whicharises from the fact that the actual transformation ratio is not equal to the rated transformation ratio.Current Error : is the ratio of the exciting current, which supplies the eddy current and hysteresis lossesand magnetizes the core to the Primary Current. This current flows in the primary winding only andtherefore, is the cause of the transformer errors.Generally expressed as a percentage of the r.m.s value of the primary current and is given by theformula:
p

I100IIK
or%CurrentErr
whereKn is the rated transformation ratio;Ip is the actual primary current;Is is the actual secondary current when Ip is flowing, under the conditions of measurement.
Phase displacementThe difference in phase between the primary and secondary current vectors, the direction of the vectorsbeing so chosen that the angle is zero for a perfect transformer.The phase displacement is said to be positive when the secondary current vector leads the primarycurrent vector. It is usually expressed in minutes or centiradians.NOTE This definition is strictly correct for sinusoidal currents only.
Accuracy Limit Factor (ALF ) Kssc :The Ratio of the rated Accuracy Limit Primary Current ( Max. Fault Current ) to the rated PrimaryCurrent .A current transformer is designed to maintain its ratio within specified limits up to a certainvalue of primary current, expressed as a multiple of its rated primary current. This multiple is known asthe current transformer’s rated accuracy limit factor (ALF).
Dimensioning factor (Kx) :A factor assigned by the purchaser to indicate the multiple of rated secondary current (Isn) occurringunder power system fault conditions, inclusive of safety factors, up to which the transformer is requiredto meet performance requirements"
Composite errorUnder steady-state conditions, the r.m.s. value of the difference between:a) the instantaneous values of the primary current; andb) the instantaneous values of the actual secondary current multiplied by the rated transformation ratio,the positive signs of the primary and secondary currents corresponding to the convention for terminalmarkingsThe composite error Ec is generally expressed as a percentage of the r.m.s. values of the primarycurrent according to the formula:

Rated knee point e.m.f. (Ek) :That minimum sinusoidal e.m.f. (r.m.s.) at rated power frequency when applied to thesecondary terminals of the transformer, all other terminals being open-circuited, which when increasedby 10 % causes the r.m.s. exciting current to increase by no more than 50 %.Some clients require the calculations to be based on the corrected VA and not the rated VA of the C.Twhere a margin of 25 % shall be taken into account for rated VA calculations for 5P class cores for theRated Knee Point Voltage and Operating ALF conversions as per the following formulas which will giveaccurate dimensioning :

Current transformers according to IEC 60044-1, class P, PR :A CT according to IEC 60044-1 is specified by the secondary limiting e.m.f. E2max. The value of theE2max is approximately equal to the corresponding Eal according to IEC 60044-6. Therefore, the CTsaccording to class P and PR must have a secondary limiting e.m.f. E2max that fulfills the following:

Current transformers according to IEC 60044-1 class PX,IEC 60044-6 class TPS (and old British Standard, class X) :CTs according to these classes are specified approximately in the same way by a rated knee-pointe.m.f. Eknee (Ek or Vk) for class PX, EkneeBS for class X and the limiting secondary voltage Ual for TPS).The value of the Eknee is lower than the corresponding Eal according to IEC 60044-6. It is not possible togive a general relation between the Eknee and the Eal but normally the Eknee is approximately 80% of theEal. Therefore, the CTs according to class PX, X and TPS must have a rated knee-point e.m.f. Eknee thatfulfills the following:
Eknee Ek EkneeBS U al > 0.8 . ( maximum of E alreq) .
Class X or PX CTs are mostly used for high impedance circulating current protection which requireshigh Equivalent Secondary e.m.f (E) .This can be economically achieved with Class X or PX which is ofLow Leakage Reactance and can have a High magnetizing Current at Vk . Three factors will influencethe emf “E”. It’s the number of secondary turns “N”, the core area “A” and the induction in Wb/m2 “B”.

where:A = core area in m2B = ux density in Tesla (T)f = frequencyN2 = number of secondary turns
The induction is dependent of the core material, which influences the size of the magnetizing current.For a certain application the secondary turns and the core area are thus selected to give the requiredemf output.
C.T – AS 60044 – 1 Class PXThe rated knee point e.m.f. is generally determined as follows:
EK ( VK ) = KX . ( Rct + Rb ) . I snWhere ,
Ek = rated knee point emf .Kx = multiple of Isn at which C.T must perform satisfactorilyIsn = rated secondary current .Rb = rated resistive burden .Rct = winding dc resistance at 75º C .
CT types:Generally, there are three different types of CTs from the Construction Point of view :
• High remanence type CT• Low remanence type CT• Non remanence type CT
1) High remanence CTs – This is mostly commonly used .The high remanence type has no given limit for the remanent flux. The CT has a magnetic core withoutany air gaps and the remanent flux might remain for almost infinite time. The remanent flux can be up to70-80% of the saturation flux. Typical examples of high remanent type CTs are class P, PX, TPS,TPX according to IEC 60044 and non-gapped class C according to ANSI/IEEE.
2) Low remanence CTsThe low remanence type has a specified limit for the remanent flux. The magnetic core is provided withsmall air gaps to reduce the remanent flux to a level that does not exceed 10% of the saturation flux.Examples are class TPY according to IEC 60044-6 and class PR according to IEC 60044-1.

3) Non remanence CTsThe non remanence type CT has practically negligible level of remanent flux. The magnetic core hasrelatively large air gaps in order to reduce the secondary time constant of the CT (to lower the neededtransient factor) which also reduces the remanent flux topractically zero level. An example is class TPZ according to IEC 60044-6.Types of C.T’s from the Function point of view are : The output required from a current transformerdepends on the application and the type of load connected to it :
1. Measuring Current Transformers :Metering equipment or instruments, like KW, KVar, A instruments or KWh or KVArh meters, aremeasuring under normal load conditions. These metering cores require high accuracy, a low burden(output) and a low saturation voltage. They operate in the range of 5-120% of rated current according toaccuracy classes 0.2 or 0.5 (IEC) or 0.3 or 0.6 (IEEE).In each current transformer a number of different cores can be combined. Normally one or two coresare specified for metering purposes and two to four cores for protection purposes.Metering cores :To protect the instruments and meters from being damaged by high currents during faultconditions, a metering core must be saturated typically between 5 and 20 times the rated current.Normally energy meters have the lowest withstand capability, typically 5 to 20 times rated current. Therated Instrument Security Factor (FS) indicates the overcurrent as a multipleof the rated current at which the metering core will saturate. It is thus limiting the secondary current toFS times the rated current. The safety of the metering equipment is greatest when the value of FS issmall. Typical FS factors are 5 or 10. It is a maximum value and only valid at rated burden. A higheroutput from a core will also result in a bigger and more expensive core, especially for cores with highaccuracy (class 0.2).Class 0.2 for Cores with billing values metering or Class 0.5 or 1 for measuring/instrumentation without billing or Class 3 or 5 for no accurate measuring .Example : in 0.2 SFS10 CT,0.2 : Accuracy Class % current ratio error at % of rated currentS : stands for sec. It means that the C.T shall withstand for 0.2 sec a Current equal to 20 times I max.with a relative tolerance of 0% - 10 % .10 : Rated Burden .Accuracy Class 0.2 : has 0.2 % current error at 100 % - 120 % of the Rated Current .Accuracy Class 0.2S : means 0.2 % current error at 20 % - 120 % of the Rated Current .Same for Class 0.5 and 0.5S . This means the Class with S is more accurate .
2. Protection Current Transformers :For protection relays and disturbance recorders information about a primary disturbance must betransferred to the secondary side. Measurement at fault conditions in the overcurrent range requireslower accuracy, but a high capability to transform high fault currents to allow protection relays tomeasure and disconnect the fault. Typical relay classes are 5P, 10P or TP (IEC) or C 100-800 (IEEE).Protection Cores :5P/10P are commonly used for Over Current/ Earth Fault, and Class PX CT Class PX is the definitionin IEC 60044-1 formerly covered by class X of BS 3938 type CTs are used for high impedancecirculating current protection and are also suitable for most other protection schemes.We will elaborate only on the most commonly used Classes P & PX . For further details for the choiceof C.T class for transient performance TPS , TPX , TPY & TPZ , please refer to the IEC 60044 – 6 .Class PX protective current transformer :A transformer of low leakage reactance for which knowledge of the transformer secondary excitationcharacteristic, secondary winding resistance, secondary burden resistance and turns ratio is sufficientto assess its performance in relation to the protective relay system with which it is to be used.

Class P current transformersAre defined so that, at rated frequency and with rated burden connected, the current error, phasedisplacement and composite error shall not exceed the values given in the table below :
Accuracy Class Current Error at Rated Primary Current Composite Error at Rated Accuracy Limit Primary Current
5P ±1% 5%10P ±3% 10%
The primary difference is that the measuring current transformer(FS) is required to retain a specifiedaccuracy over the normal range of load currents, whereas the protective current transformer (5P , PX )must be capable of providing an adequate output over a wide range of fault conditions, from a fractionof full load to many times full load.CT – Measuring vs Protection :

At rated burden (cos = 0.8) At rated burden (cos = 0.8) and rated security factor, the and rated accuracy limit factor composite error should be>10% the composite error should be < 5% or 10%
Current transformers according to ANSI/IEEE
Current transformers according to ANSI/IEEE are partly specified in different ways. A rated secondaryterminal voltage UANSI is specified for a CT of class C. UANSI is the secondary terminal voltage the CTwill deliver to a standard burden at 20 times rated secondary current without exceeding 10 % ratiocorrection. There are a number of standardized UANSI values e.g. UANSI is 400 V for a C400 CT. Acorresponding rated equivalent limiting secondary e.m.f. EalANSI can be estimated as follows:
bANSIsnCTsnANSICTsnalANSI ZIRIURIE 202020where
ZbANSI : The impedance (i.e. complex quantity) of the standard ANSI burden for the specific C class ( ).
UANSI : The rated secondary terminal voltage for the specific C class (V).
The C.Ts according to class C must have a calculated rated equivalent limiting secondary e.m.f. EalANSIthat fulfills the following:
alreqalANSI EofMaximumE
A C.T according to ANSI/IEEE is also specified by the knee-point voltage UkneeANSIthat is graphically defined from an excitation curve. The knee-point voltage UkneeANSI normally has alower value than the knee-point e.m.f. according to IEC and BS. UkneeANSI can approximately beestimated to 75 % of the corresponding Eal according to IEC 60044-6. Therefore, the CTs according toANSI/IEEE must have a knee-point voltage UkneeANSI that fulfills the following:

ANSI/IEEE CTs as specified in the IEEE C57.13 standard. The applicable class for protection is class"C", which specifies a non air-gapped core. The CT design is identical to IEC class P but therating is specified differently. The IEEE C class standard voltage rating required will be lowerthan an IEC knee-point voltage. This is because the IEEE voltage rating is defined in terms of usefuloutput voltage at the terminals of the CT, whereas the IEC knee-point voltage includes thevoltage drop across the internal resistance of the CT secondary winding added to the useful output..Where IEEE standards are used to specify CTs, the C class voltage rating can be checked to determinethe equivalent knee-point voltage (Vk) according to IEC. The equivalence formula is:

C.T Dimensioning (Sizing Calculations) :
Introduction :
In general , there is no single rule/equation to apply for the C.T sizing calculations specially forthe calculation of the Knee Point Voltage ( Vk ) for Feeder Protection , Transformer differential& Restricted E/F protection .Since every protection relays manufacturer has his ownrecommendation and C.T requirements which shall be met and must be submitted by thecontractors and must be followed .
Some clients require the calculations to be based on the corrected VA and not the rated VAof the C.T where a margin of 25 % shall be taken into account for rated VA calculations for5P class cores for the Rated Knee Point Voltage and Operating ALF conversions as per thefollowing formulas which will give accurate dimensioning which we will follow in ourexamples :

Also , some clients specify two Main Protections from different manufacturers for each typeof protection on the 400 KV and 132 KV Substations . In our calculated examples , we willelaborate on the different protection relays which are most commonly used for each circuiton the 132 KV system (cable feeder , OHL , Transformer & Bus coupler / Section ) whichwill cover both ( One Protection or Two Protection schemes ).
The CT saturation is directly affected by the voltage at the CT secondary terminals. Thisvoltage is developed in a loop containing the conductors and the relay burden. For three-phase faults, the neutral current is zero, and only the phase conductor and relay phase

burden have to be considered. For earth faults in solidly earthed systems it is important toconsider the loop containing both the phase and the neutral conductors.
In most cases the CT requirements are based on the maximum fault current for faults indifferent positions. Maximum fault current will occur for three-phase faults or in some casesfor single-phase-to-earth faults. The current for a single phase-to-earth fault will exceed thecurrent for a three-phase fault when the zero sequence impedance in the total fault loop isless than the positive sequence impedance. This can be the case in solidly earthedsystems and therefore both fault types have to be considered.
If the fault current contains a DC-component there is a considerable risk that the CTs willsaturate. In most cases the CTs will have some remanence, which can increase thesaturation rate of the CTs. If a CT has been saturated the secondary current will notrecover until the DC-component in the primary fault current has subsided. This can cause adelay in the relay operation. Depending on the design of the relay and to consider a certainamount of DC-component, a factor has been used in the Rated Knee Point Voltagecalculation Equation . This safety factor gives a satisfactory operation.
The following sample calculations will assist you in quick reviewing and approximateverification of the different contractors submittals as a minimum requirement to be met forthe C.T sizing calculations , the calculations will be based on the most commonly used132/11 KV substations with 2000 A bus bar , 40 KA which is applicable for all Voltagelevels and both the Outdoor AIS Switchgear or Indoor GIS where the different data and C.Tratio if any to be considered , 4 mm² as a lead conductors will be used in the calculations ,types of the protection relays used in the calculations are only examples for different C.Trequirements as per the different Manufacturer recommendations .

The O/C & E/F protection functions are mostly incorporated in the Bay Control Unit ( BCU ) or the PilotWire Differential Protection along with the Breaker Failure function . However , the sameprocedure to be followed for the loose relays if used.

Eal that is larger than or equal to the required secondary e.m.f.Ealreq which must be verified also .
3. Bus Bar Protection :
This is a form of bus bar protection using either unbiased high input impedance relays or biased lowimpedance relays. Differential protection uses the principal of Kirchhoff’s first law to sum the currentfrom the CTs covering the protected zone. The relay detects the summation current and will trip theassociated breakers if it indicates a fault within the zone.It shall be verified with all circuits connected to the Bus Bar Protection .
1. Bus Bar Protection - Low Impedance :
Protection must have a low burden to enable it to be installed in series with other equipment oncommon secondary cores of the current transformers. It has to allow the use of different class and typeof CTs made by different manufacturers. In particular, it will have to be able to accept mixes of plant,satisfying different standards (e.g. British Standard 3938: Class X, IEC 185: Class 5P20, IEC 44-6Class TPX, TPY or TPZ).The protection has to be stable for all types of external faults and in particularunder CT saturation conditions. This saturation has to be able to be detected in less than 2 ms. Thedifferential bus bar protection has to implement also an effective protection against circuit breakerfailures.

Therefore , C.T is suitably dimensioned .
2. Bus Bar Protection - High Impedance :
High-impedance protection responds to an equivalent voltage across the relay. During external faults(with severe saturation of some of the CTs) the voltage does not rise above certain level. This isbecause the other CTs will provide a lower-impedance path as compared with the high relay inputimpedance.Traditionally high impedance schemes have provided greater stability during through faults. This type ofprotection requires all CTs must have the same transformation ratio, are class x and dedicated to theprotection scheme.
The current transformers used in high impedance circulating current differential protection systemsmust be equal turns ratio and have reasonably low secondary winding resistance. Current transformers

of similar magnetizing characteristic with low reactance construction such as IEC60044 Class PX, orsimilar, are preferred.
The relay requirements are based upon a calculation of the required knee-point voltage with the IECdefinition of the knee-point voltage .
Example with (VA TECH – Reyrolle Siemens )DAD – N , 7SG12 High Impedance Relay :
Typically applied to provide 3 – phase high impedance differential protection of busbar,connections, auto-transformers, reactors and motors. The stability of the high impedance schemedepends upon the operate voltage setting being greater than the maximum voltage whichcan appear across the relay under a given through fault condition. An external series stabilizingresistor and shunt non-linear resistor per phase complete the scheme. The series resistor valueis determined by the voltage level required for stability and the value of relay current calculatedto provide the required primary fault setting.

Since the fault setting is between 10% and 30% of the minimum fault current
(as per ESI 48-3 and tender documents) and DEWA’s requirement is fulfilled,
the selected magnetizing current 1.5 mA at Vk/2 is suitable for the system protection.
Therefore, the relay current setting will be provided with range (5%-20%) in sevenequal steps, which is confirmed by above calculation as adequate.

Comparison of High and Low-Impedance Bus bar Protection :
Nowadays high impedance protection is still widely used, because it is considered “cheap and
easy”. But most users only look at the relay price itself, without considering the other disadvantages ofa high impedance schemes:
All CTs must have the same ratio
Class X for all CT cores
Bus sectionalizers with circuit-breaker must be equipped with two CTs
Separate CT cores for busbar protection
Advantages of numerical protection technology(e.g. fault recording, communication, etc.) notavailable
Check zone needs separate CT cores
Isolator replica requires switching of CT secondaries , additional check zone obligatory.
3. Pilot Wire Current Differential Protection :
CHARGING CURRENT COMPENSATION
The basic premise for the operation of differential protection schemes in general is that the sum of thecurrents entering the protected zone is zero. In the case of a power system transmission line, that maynot be entirely true because of the capacitive charging current of the line. For short overheadtransmission lines, the charging current can be treated as a small unknown error. In that case, the errordue to the line charging current is covered by the percentage restraint characteristic of the currentdifferential scheme. For long transmission lines and cables, the charging current may be too large totreat as an unknown error. In that case, it is often necessary to desensitize the current differentialprotection to prevent mis-operations due to the line charging current which shall be considered in theRelay setting :
The sensitive differential set point I-DIFF> is calculated according the charge current of the cable orset to a minimum value, which results from the CT´s transient behavior. The charge current caused

by the capacitance of the line/cable is a permanent differential current during normal operation. I-DIFF>should be set 2,5-3 times of this steady state charge current or as per the relay manufacturerrecommendation . The charge current is calculated as follows:
11063.3 6OPNNC CfUI
IC Primary charge current in A
U N Nominal voltage of the line/cable in kV
f N Rated frequency in Hz
COp’ Capacitance of the line or cable in nF/km (typ. line 8 nF/km, cable 250 nF/km)
l Length of the line/cable in km

CT Ratio: 1500-1000/1A Vk 1950/1300V Ie 50/100mA at Vk

C. 132 KV Feeder with Reactor : For reactor detail , please refer to Annex – C :
A. Line Protection : The same as the above Feeder Protection (OHL or Cable Feeder )
B. Reactor Protection : We will elaborate on the Reactor Differential Protection , Restricted EarthFault (REF) and the Stand – by E/F protection which mostly will cover the Transformer Protection .Since , if separate back up Over – Current and E/F are used , the same previous dimensioning forthe Feeder circuit is applicable :
1. Differential Protection :
A differential relay, of high impedance type should be used as main protection. CT’s should be specifiedat both the phase and the neutral side of each phase and a three phase protection should be used as athree phase protection gives a higher sensitivity for internal faults. The general requirement on thefunction values of the high impedance differential protection is that at maximum through fault current foran external faults the relay wont mal-operate even with one CT fully saturated.
For a reactor the dimensioning criteria will be for the inrush current, since a reactor only will give athrough fault current equal to rated current, at an external earth-fault. The maximum inrush current for areactor is approximately two times the rated current. If no specific requirement concerning at whatcurrent the relay should be stable exists, five times the rated current is used when operating voltage isselected. The function value of the relay should be chosen:

2. Restricted E/F Protection of 132 KV Reactor – HV Side and Neutral CT Cores :
Example :
The relay type MICOM P122 , AREVA
CT Ratio 150/1 A
Class of Accuracy CLX
Introduction :
The MICOM P122 restricted earth fault relay is a high impedance differential scheme which balanceszero sequence current flowing in the transformer neutral against zero sequence current flowing in thetransformer phase windings. Any unbalance for in-zone fault will result in an increasing voltage on theCT secondary and thus will activate the REF protection. This scheme is very sensitive and canthen protect against low levels of fault current in resistance grounded systems where the earthingimpedance and the fault voltage limit the fault current. In addition, this scheme can be used in asolidly grounded system. It provides a more sensitive protection, even though the overalldifferential scheme provides a protection for faults over most of the windings. The high impedancedifferential technique ensures that the impedance of the circuit is of sufficiently high impedancesuch that the differential voltage that may occur under external fault conditions is lower than the voltagerequired to drive setting current through the relay. This ensures stability against external fault conditionsand then the relay will operate only for faults occurring inside the protected zone. High impedanceschemes are used in a differential configuration where one current transformer is completelysaturated and the other CTs are healthy.

g) Calculation of the Magnetizing Current
As per DEWA’s spec. 1.5.1.5.9.01 Rev-11 clause 10.2, the fault setting shall be between 10% and20% of the minimum current available for an earth fault at the reactor terminals.
Rated current at 132kV side ASn 74.431323

Im = Metrosil Current at Vs=10V
T = Turns ratio=150

Hence Vk > 450 V and Vs = 10 V
Im = Metrosil current = 1mA
Il & In = Line & Neutral CT Magnetizing current at Vs = < 2.5mA
IOP = [0.03 + 0.0025 + 3*0.005 + 0.001] x 150 = 6.15A
Approximately 14.1 % of the rated current of the protected winding.
Considering Relay setting current = 0.015 A
IOP = [0.01 + 0.01 + 3*0.01 + 0.001] x 150 = 7.65A.
Approximately 17.5 % of the rated current of the protected winding.
Hence, relay current setting will be from 0.002 A to 1.0 A (Adjustable range)
h) Stabilizing Resistor :
As per ESI Standard 48-3 , the required minimum knee-point voltage for CT ratio 150/1 A is VkMin. 2 Vs = 2 x 10 = 20 V. Hence the required stabilizing resistor to assure the minimum required knee-point voltage is :
The value of series resistance is calculated as follows:

Where:

• TPX core 5 - 20 seconds (no air gaps)• TPY core 0.5 - 2 seconds (small air gaps)• TPZ core ~ 60 msec. (phase displacement 180 min.+/- 10%) (large air gaps)Air gaps in thecore give a shorter Ts.
Factors affecting CT saturation
CT ratio : Over Dimensioning of the C.T ratio
Core cross-sectional area
Core design
Connected burden : If the Load Burden is lower than the Rated Burden (<25% ) , the Saturationvalue increases
B-H characteristic of core
Amount of remanent flux : In most cases the CTs will have some remanence, which canincrease the saturation rate of the CTs.
Fault current & DC offset : If a CT has been saturated the secondary current will not recoveruntil the DC-component in the primary fault current has subsided.
System time constant
CT primary may be in earthed position. CT internal winding may be short circuit and Winding resistance is less than designed value.
Annex – A : Composite errorUnder steady-state conditions, the r.m.s. value of the difference between:a) the instantaneous values of the primary current; andb) the instantaneous values of the actual secondary current multiplied by the rated transformation ratio,the positive signs of the primary and secondary currents corresponding to the convention for terminalmarkingsThe composite error Ec is generally expressed as a percentage of the r.m.s. values of the primarycurrent according to the formula:
T
0
2psn
p
.dtiiKT1
I100
Use of composite errorThe numeric value of the composite error will never be less than the vector sum of the current error andthe phase displacement (the latter being expressed in centiradians).Consequently, the composite error always indicates the highest possible value of current error or phasedisplacement.
PART I - Current Transformers Dimensioning
[IEC 60044 – 1]
Prepared by : Mohammad Subhi Abdel -–HalimSenior Substation Design EngineerPBME – AMMAN Office / JORDAN
64
The current error is of particular interest in the operation of overcurrent relays, and the phasedisplacement in the operation of phase sensitive relays (e.g. directional relays).In the case of differential relays, it is the combination of the composite errors of the current transformersinvolved which must be considered.An additional advantage of a limitation of composite error is the resulting limitation of the harmoniccontent of the secondary current which is necessary for the correct operation of certain types of relays.
Annex – B : Metering Cores :At lower burdens than the rated burden, the saturation value increases approximately to n:
2snct
2snctn
s IRSIRSFn
whereSn = rated burden in VAS = actual burden in VAIsn = rated secondary current in ARct = internal resistance at 75ºC in ohm
To ful ll high accuracy classes (e.g. class 0.2, IEC) the magnetizing current in thecore must be kept at a low value. The consequence is a low ux density in thecore. High accuracy and a low number of ampere-turns result in a high saturation factor (FS). To ful llhigh accuracy with low saturation factor the core is usually made of nickel alloyed steel.NOTE! The accuracy class will not be guaranteed for burdens above rated burden or below 25% of therated burden (IEC).With modern meters and instruments with low consumption the total burden canbe lower than 25% of the rated burden (see Figure 2.1). Due to turns correction and core material theerror may increase at lower burdens. To ful ll accuracy requirements the rated burden of the meteringcore shall thus be relatively well matched to the actual burden connected. The minimum error istypically at 75% of the rated burden. The best way to optimize the core regarding accuracy isconsequently to specify a rated burden of 1.5 times the actual burden.It is also possible to connect an additional burden, a “dummy burden”, and in this way adapt theconnected burden to the rated burden. However, this method is rather inconvenient.
Annex – C : Shunt Reactors :Introduction :
During normal operation of an electrical power system, the transmission and distribution voltages mustbe maintained within a small range, typically, from 0.95 to 1.05 pu of rated value. Due to the loadvariations, shunt reactors and capacitors have been applied in power systems to compensate excess

reactive power (inductive for heavy load conditions, and capacitive for light load conditions). Shuntreactors are commonly used to compensate the capacitive reactive power of transmission anddistribution systems and thereby to keep the operating voltages within admissible levels. Shunt reactorsare used in high voltage systems to compensate for the capacitive generation of long overhead lines orextended cable networks. The reasons for using shunt reactors are mainly two:
1. to limit the over-voltages
2. to limit the transfer of reactive power in the network.
If the reactive power transfer is minimized i. e. the reactive power is balanced in the different part of thenetworks, a higher level of active power can be transferred in the network. Reactors to limit over-voltages are most needed in weak power systems, i.e. when network short-circuit power is relativelylow.
Voltage increase in a system due to the capacitive generation is:
shc
c
S100QU(%)
where “Qc” is the capacitive input of reactive power to the network
and “Sshc” is the short circuit power of the network.
With increasing short circuit power of the network the voltage increase will be lower and the need ofcompensation to limit over-voltages will be less accentuated. Reactors to achieve reactive powerbalance in the different part of the network are most needed in heavy loaded networks where new linescannot be built because of environmental reasons. Reactors for this purpose mostly are Thyristorcontrolled in order to adapt fast to the reactive power required. Especially in industrial areas with arcfurnaces the reactive power demand is fluctuating between each half cycle. In such applications thereare usually combinations of Thyristor controlled reactors (TCR) and Thyristor switched capacitor banks(TSC).These together makes it possible to both absorb, and generate reactive power according to themomentary demand. Four leg reactors also can be used for extinction of the secondary arc at single-phase reclosing in long transmission lines. Since there always is a capacitive coupling between phases,this capacitance will give a current keeping the arc burning, a secondary arc. By adding one singlephase reactor in the neutral the secondary arc can be extinguished and the single-phase auto-re-closing successful.
The calculation of optimum ratings and points of connection of shunt reactors is generally done bymeans of extensive load-flow studies, taking into account all possible system configurations.
CONNECTIONS IN THE SUBSTATION
The reactors can be connected to the bus bar, a transformer tertiary winding or directly to the line, withor without a circuit-breaker (see gure 1).

The shunt reactor is normally connected to the transmission line to avoid excess over voltageappearance when the load decreases at night and off days. Since the substations in the urbanareas mostly have the transmission lines of small short-circuit capacities, the line voltages fluctuatelargely when the shunt reactor of a large capacity is connected or disconnected.
Shunt reactors carry out different types of tasks:
They compensate the capacitive reactive power of the transmission cables, in particular innetworks with only light loads or no load.
They reduce system-frequency over-voltages when a sudden load drop occurs or there is noload.
They improve the stability and efficiency of the energy transmission.
Reactors to limit over-voltages are most needed in weak power systems, i.e. when network short-circuitpower is relatively low.
Mostly problems occur on gas-insulated circuit breaker for shunt reactor switching. The frequentswitching of the SF6 CB for shunt reactors degraded gas insulation level. The melted contacts, in turn,could not clear the current prospectively. Meanwhile, the high rise rate of transient recovery voltage ofinductive current switching caused re-striking phenomenon and incomplete tripping. These two maincharacteristics make the SF6 CB used for shunt reactor un-expectantly damaged .
Therefore “ Separate Type Test Report from Accredited Testing Laboratory shall be submittedfor the proposed C.B Type for Shunt Reactor or Shunt Capacitor banks Switching .”
The unavoidable high frequency transient recovery voltage (TRV) existed in circuit breakers dueto inductive switching can be depressed to reasonable and safely level by equipping suitablearrestor. The maintenance policy for the breakers should be planned based on a fixed periodmaintenance schedule or conditional basic maintenance schedule. Finally, the circuit breakershould be re-flashed after every 500 switching operations to maintain the power system normallyTypically, the voltage variation at the high voltage bus bar after switching of a shunt reactor shall not behigher than 2 to 3% of rated voltage.
MAIN CALCULATION OF SHUNT REACTORS: All the shunt reactor data and rating will begiven in the contract specifications, this summary is just for information.For the calculation of the positive sequence reactance and the current requirements of a shuntreactor, it is necessary to know only the rated three-phase reactive power and the rated systemvoltage and frequency, as summarized in the table below.
