Converting an IEC 6004-1 protection classification to a limiting secondary voltage The suitability of a standard protection current transformer can be checked against the limiting secondary voltage requirements, specified in this document. ‘An estimated limiting secondary voltage can be obtained as follows: \ eA + (ALF xl, xR) If Re is not available, then the second term in the above equation can be ignored as it typically only adds a small amount to the estimated secondary limiting voltage. To ensure that the current transformer has a high enough rating for the relay's burden it is necessary to work out the current transformer’s continuous VA rating using the following formula: VAg oh? x(R, +R.) Example 1: ‘An estimate of the secondary limiting voltage of a 400/5A current transformer of class 5P 10 with a rated output burden of 15VA and a secondary winding resistance of 0.20 will be \ #10%5 «0.2 15x10 5 =40V Example 2: For a particular application of a 1A MiCOM overcurrent relay it is required to determine the most appropriate class P current transformer to be used. The secondary limiting voltage required has been calculated at 87.3V using a current transformer secondary winding resistance of 20 The current transformer rated output burden must be: VAg 2h? x(R) +R,) =P x(1+0.025) 2 1.025VA The nearest rating above this will be 2.5VA. The accuracy limit factor required can be determined by: VAX ALF “ 873 = 25xAF FALF xtx2 =45xALF _873 45 =19.4 Me + ALF xh, xRet ALF The nearest accuracy limit factor above 19.4 is 20. Therefore the current transformer required to supply the MiCOM overcurrent relay will be a 2.5VA 10P 20. (i. 25VAis the rated burden, 10 (%) is the nominal accuracy class, 20 is the ALF).Application Notes B&CTIEN AP/B11 Burdens & CT Reg, of MiCOM Relays Page 43/46 8. APPENDIX B 8.1 Converting IEC 60044-1 standard protection classification to IEEE standard voltage rating The MICOM series protection relays are compatible with ANSIIEEE 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 the rating is specified differently. The IEEE C class standard voltage rating required will be lower than an IEC knee-point voltage. This is because the IEEE voltage rating is defined in terms of useful output voltage at the terminals of the CT, whereas the IEC knee-point voltage includes the voltage drop across the internal resistance of the CT secondary winding added to the useful output. The IEC knee-point is also typically 5% higher than the IEEE knee-point Where IEEE standards are used to specify CTs, the C class voltage rating can be checked to determine the equivalent knee-point voltage (Vi) according to IEC. The equivalence formula is: Mj = (Cx1.05)+(Kege hy »Ree) =(Cx1.05)+(100xRe) Note: IEEE CTs are always 5A secondary rated, i.e. |, =54, and are defined with an accuracy limit factor of 20, 2.
