Max Marks=50

Second Series Test, Sept/Oct 2014

PART-A
(5*4 =20 Marks)
Highlight the advantages and disadvantages of instrument transformer in power
measurement.
Define the following terms with reference to instrument transformers
(i) Nominal ratio (ii) transformation ratio (iii) turns ratio (iv) burden
The secondary of a CT should never be opened while it is in operation. Explain.
Explain the effect of power factor of secondary winding burden on the errors of a CT
Discuss the effect of change in secondary burden on the performance of a CT.
PART-B
(10*3=30 Marks)
(a) Describe the principle of operation of a current transformer. Draw the vector diagram
of a CT. Derive the expression for transformation ratio and phase angle error in a current
transformer.

(b) A Current Transformer rated as 1000/5 A, 25 VA has a turns ratio of 1:199. The core
loss and magnetizing component of primary current are 4 A and 7A under rated
conditions. Find the ratio error and phase angle error for rated burden and rated
secondary current at 0.8 pf lag and 0.8 pf lead. Neglect the resistance and leakage
reactance of the secondary winding.
