INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEM
PROTECTION
Protection systems have
three basic components:
• Instrument
transformers
•Current transformers
•Potential or voltage
transformers
• Relays
• Circuit Breakers (oil,
air vacuum and SF6)

A 110 kV CT SF6 circuit
breakers
INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEM
PROTECTION
The figure shows a simple overcurrent protection
schematic with:
• One type of instrument transformer—the current
transformer (CT)
• An overcurrent relay (OC)
• A circuit breaker (CB) for a single-phase line.
The function of the relay is to discriminate between
normal operation and fault conditions. The OC relay
has an operating coil, which is connected to the CT
secondary winding, and a set of contacts.
When I’ exceeds a specified ‘‘pickup’’ value, the
operating coil causes the normally open contacts to
close. When the relay contacts close, the trip coil of
the circuit breaker is energized, which then causes
the circuit breaker to open.
Note that the circuit breaker does not open until its
operating coil is energized, either manually or by
relay operation. Based on information from
instrument transformers, a decision is made and
‘‘relayed’’ to the trip coil of the breaker, which
CURRENT TRANSFORMERS
 The primary winding of a current
transformer usually consists of a
single turn, obtained by running the
power system’s primary conductor
through the CT core.
 The normal current rating of CT
secondaries is standardized at 5 A in
the United States, whereas 1 A is
standard in Europe and some other
regions.
 Currents of 10 to 20 times (or
greater) normal rating often occur in
CT windings for a few cycles during
CURRENT TRANSFORMERS
Standard CT ratios are given in Table
CURRENT TRANSFORMERS
EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT
An approximate equivalent circuit of a CT is shown in Figure
Where:
Z’ = CT secondary leakage impedance
Xe = (Saturable) CT excitation reactance
ZB =Impedance of terminating device (relay including leads)
CURRENT TRANSFORMERS
EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT
Associated with the CT
equivalent circuit is an
excitation curve that
determines the relationship
between the CT secondary
voltage E’ and excitation
current Ie.
