CT Analyzer Calibration Instructions Application Note CTA 005

General
OMICRON offers a reference CT (calibration CT
VEHZ0649) for calibrating the CT Analyzer. This
reference CT is delivered together with a calibration
certificate from a national test laboratory. The
calibration CT is a class 0.02% CT and has a ratio of
2000:1 and 2000:5.
To do the calibration follow steps 1 to 4.
Step 1: Connection of reference CT
Step 3: Start the test
Step 4: Assessment
Compare the CT Analyzer test results with the results in
the calibration report delivered with the reference CT.
Compare the results at:
100% nominal current and 100% burden and at 50%
nominal current and 100% burden.

Connect the "OUTPUT" and the measurement input

"SEC" of the CT Analyzer to the secondary side of the
reference CT. Connect the measurement input "PRIM"
to the primary side of the CT.

Step 2: Settings
Turn on the CT Analyzer and enter the settings listed
below on the object page. Keep the listed order when
entering the settings.
1. Standard: 60044-1
2. Type of CT: M (Measurement)
3. Class: 0.1 (CT is of class 0.02)
4. Rated primary current: 2000A
5. Rated secondary current: 1A/5A
6. VA (rated burden): 2.5VA Do the measurement for the 2000/1A and the 2000/5 A
7. Burden (operating burden): 2.5VA winding.
8. CosPhi: 1
If the difference between the results measured from the
CT Analyzer and the data in the test report delivered
with the reference CT are within 0,02%, your CT-
Analyzer is within tolerance.
