Lecture 39 : Transformer Protection

 

Selection of CT Turns Ratio (contd..)

  i.e, or    (1)
  If the transformer (to be protected ) is working on tap T as shown in fig 39.2, then the above equality has to be modified as follows:      
   
  (2)
  Example
 

Let the primary of the transformer winding has 1000 turns while secondary has 500 turns. If the primary CT ratio is 100:5, find the CT ratio required in the secondary side to establish circulatory current scheme.

Ans:

=1000, and =20

  From equation (1), we get

Thus, a suitable secondary CT ratio would be 200:5.
