17. The main tasks of instrument transformer are:
• Insulate secondary circuits from the primary.
• To transform current, or voltages, from a high value to a value easy
to handle for relays and instruments.
• permit the use of standard current ratings for secondary
equipment.

18. APPLICATION
Current transformers (CT,s) are instrument
transformers that are used to supply a reduced
value of current to protective relays , meters and
other instruments.
CT,s provide isolation from the high voltage
primary , permit grounding of the secondary
windings for safety , and step down the magnitude
of the measured current to a value that can be
safely handled by the instruments
19. RATIO
The most common CT secondary full load current
is 1A or 5A.
CT ratio are expressed as a ratio of rated primary
current to the rated secondary current .
Example
a 1000/1 A CT will produce 1A of secondary
current when 1000 A flows through the primary .
As the primary current changes the secondary
current will vary accordingly.
20. POLARITY
All CT,s are subtractive polarity .
Polarity refers to the instantaneous direction of the
primary current with respect to the secondary
current and is determined by the way the
transformer leads are brought out of the case .
On subtractive polarity transformers the H1
primary lead and the X1 secondary lead will be on
the same side of the transformer.
22. Notes:
CT secondary windings are closed possible
download the CT 125% of rated load for any time
CT secondary windings are opened for Installation
counter not should increase 10% of rated load for
.5 hour time
25. Functions of measurement and protection device:
For protection:
1- following the grid continuous
2- send alarm in case fault
3- send signal to open the C.B
For measurement :
- Use for the counters and indication for Readings
27. Burden
Burden = The impedance of the secondary circuit in
ohms and power factor. The burden is usually
expressed as the apparent power (S) in volt-amperes
absorbed at a specified power-factor at the rated
secondary current.
55. Terminal markings
GENERAL RULES
The terminal markings shall identify: the primary and
secondary windings; the winding sections, if any; the
relative polarities of windings and winding sections;
the intermediate tapings, if any
62. Current transformers are divided into two main types:
1. Indoor type
2. Outdoor type
Indoor Current Transformer:
Indoor transformers are used in the high, medium,
and low voltage
general purpose applications for protection and
measurements
63.
64.
65. OUTDOOR CURRENT TRANSFORMERS:
core and coil are immersed in oil inside insolated
bushing. These bushings may be long or short
depending on the rated voltage.
The insulation material of such current transformers is
usually oil impregnated paper. Another method for
insulation employs a gas such as Sulfur Hexafluoride (
SF6).
69. CT use signals source in some protective devices :
Non Directional Over Current Protection O/C
Non Directional Earth Fault Protection E/F
Differential Protection
in some protective devices use CT and VT

Directional Earth Fault
Distance Protection
70. Specification for CT:
1. Rated Burden (2.5 , 5.0, 7.5 , 10, 15, 30 VA)
2. Continuous Rated Current
3. Short circuit current and duration time
4. Rated secondry current
5- Turns ratio
6- Classes(5P, 10P, X): 5P use with Instantaneous oc Relay
- 10P use with IDMT oc Relay
- X no need high accuracy
71. The main characteristics of protection CT cores are:
• Lower accuracy than for measuring transformer .
• High saturation voltage.
5P and 10P The error is then 5 and 10 at the specified ALF and at rated
burden.

74. CT 2000/5 , Rs =0.31, Imax =40 KA , MaX Flux density =1.6 Tesla
Find maximum secondary burden permissible if no saturation is to occur.
Solution
N=2000/5 = 400Turns
Is max = 40000/400 = 100Amps
From Equ.1
Vk = 4.44*1.6*20*60*(400/10000) = 340 Volt
Max burden = 340/100 = 3.4 ohms
Max connected burden = 3.4 - 0.31 = 3.09
75. CT ratio are selected to match the maximum load current requirements.
i.e. the maximum design load current should not exceed the CT rated
current.
The CT ratio should be large enough so that the CT secondary current does
not exceed 20 times rated current under the maximum symmetrical primary
fault current.
76. It is customary to place CT,s on both sides of the breaker. So that the
protection zones will overlap.
The protection Engineer can determine which side of the breaker is best for
CT location .
All possibilities of fault position should be considered .
77. The overlap should occur across a C.B, so the C.B lies in both zones for this
arrangement it is necessary to install C.Ts on both sides of the C.B.
C.T,s mounted on both sides of breaker no
unprotected region
No region un protected
79. Current transformers mounted on bus bar

83. General
As a matter of safety, the secondary circuits of a
current transformer should never be opened under
load, because these would then be no secondary mmf
to oppose the primary mmf, and all the primary
current would become exciting current and thus might
induce a very high voltage in the secondary.

111. SATURATION
Abnormal high primary current
High secondary burden
Combination of the above two factors will result in the
creation of high flux density in the current
transformer iron core.
When this density reaches or exceeds the design limit
of the core , saturation results.
112. SATURATION
The accuracy of the CT becomes very poor.
The output wave form distorted.
The result secondary current lower in magnitude.
The greatest dangerous is loss of protective device
coordination
114. list of CT problems usually found at site:
• Shorted CT secondaries
• Open-circuited CT secondaries
• Miswired CTs
• CTs that had not been wired
• CTs installed backwards
• Incorrect CTs
• Defective CTs
• CTs with incorrect ratios or on the wrong taps

118. Voltage Transformer Construction:
For the lower voltages not exceeding 3.3kV, dry type
transformers with varnish impregnated and taped
windings are quite satisfactory in reasonably dry
locations.
For high voltage, the immersed core and windings in
oil give good primary winding insulation. Another
type of insulation used is cast resin for a range of 12kV-
36kV. A combination of resin and oil is used for up to
100kV
