Appendix E Measuring Methods for Protection-Level Excitation

Curve about Current Transformer

E.O.l Measurement and inspection on excitation curve at level P shall meet following
requirements:
Verification is made on whether the accurate limit-value coefficient of current transformer'
protective level (P) satisfies requirements, with two indirect methods: excitation curve
measurement and simulated secondary load method.
1 Excitation curve measurement:
For V-1 (excitation) curve of winding at P level, applied voltage shall be determined
according to nameplate parameters of current transformer. Secondary resistance 1.2 can b e
-
replaced by secondary DC resistance r2 . Leakage reactance x2 can be estimated. Voltage and
current are measured with root- mean square-value meter.
Estimated value x2 is seen in Table E.0.1
Table E.0.1 Estimated value x2
Rated voltage of current Independent structures G I s and bushing
-
transformer G35 kV 66-1 10 kV 220-500 kV structure
Estimated value x, (a) 0.1 0.15 0.2 0.1
For instance:
Parameter: if rated voltage of current transformer is 220 kV, changes o f tested winding as

1000/5A, secondary rated load as 50V.A, cos$ = 0.8,10P20, then:

5 OVU4
Rated secondary load impedance Z,= (- + 5A)x (0.8+ j0.6) = 1.6+ j1.20
5A
-
Secondary impedance Z,= r2+ jx2 = 0.1+ j0.2
-

r2 is the actually measured value of DC resistance.

Then based on the known nameplate parameter "10P20", induced electro~notiveforce of
coils at rated current is:

If at the applied excitation voltage 220V on the end of secondary winding the measured

excitation current I, > 0.1x 20 x 5A = 10A , then it is judged that this accurate limit-value

coefficient of winding is not qualified.

2 Simulated secondaty load method:
Under test of iundainental devlatron, 11 simulated secondaij load is cquipmcnt, incli~cct
verification can be given on whether accurate limit-value coefficient satisfies requirelnents or n o t ,
for instance:
 Nameplate parameter of current transformer is the same as the one mentioned above. On
lines of fundamental deviation about current transformer tested by normal differential techniques,

then it is available if the value of secondary load 2; will be changed as ( 2 0 - 1)Z2 + 20ZL:

When 2; is switched on, if composite error .\lf' +6'% about measurement on rated

current (here 1000A) is larger than lo%, it is judged as unqualified. Unit of 6 is crad.
Note: 1 As magnetic interference influence rising form currents of both primary and returning conductors
is not taken into measurement by indirect methods, usually the results may not be qualified if qualified
instrument transformer measured by indirect methods is verified again by direct methods; as to measurement by
direct methods on unqualified instrument transformer measured by indirect methods, the result is not qualified
basically, but the measurement by indirect methods is simple and easy;
2 In case of suspicion, composite error may be measured by direct methods. Whether the result is
qualified or not is judged based on measuring results.
E.0.2 Verification on transient characteristics about current transformer shall meet following
requirements: for the independent, GIs and bushing current transformers with rated voltage not
below 330 kV, the bushing current transformers with line capacity not below 30x lo4 kW, and
current transformers at all voltage levels of substations with capacity above 1 2 0 x 1 0 ~kW and
transient characteristics, relevant parameters of their windings with transient requirements shall
be measured by low-frequency or DC method based on parameters of nameplates to verify
whether relevant requirements are satisfied.
1 AC method.
The actual sine-wave AC voltage is applied on secondary terminals with corresponding
excitation current measured. Test can be worked out at decreased frequency to avoid winding and
secondary terminals withstanding unallowable voltage.
Excitation current shall be measured by readout instrument on peak value so that it can be
corresponding to the magnetic-flow value of peak value.
Excitation voltage shall be measured by average-value meters but with scale as root mean
square value.
Secondary linkage magnetic channel 0 can be obtained through the actually measured root

mean square value of applied voltage at frequency f ' according to following formula:

Equivalent voltage root mean square value U is:

The obtained curve of excitation characteristics is the relation curve between peak-value
excitation current i,,, and equivalent voltage root mean square value o f rated frequency

representing channel of peal< value @.

Excitation inductance is determined by average slope of curve mentioned above wlien the

saturation flux Qs lies within 20%-90%:

When the secondary side leakage reactance is neglected. secondary time constant T,

corresponding to resistance total load ( R e ,+ R,))

can be calculated according to following

formula:

When coefficient of remnant ~nagnetis~nKT is determined by AC method, excitation

voltage needs to be integrated. which is seen in Figure E.0.2-2. The integral voltage and
corresponding current indicates the circle of magnetic retardation on X-Y oscillograph. If

excitation current has been the value wl~ichsaturated flux reaches Qs,it is considered that value

of magnetic flow is remnant magnetism Dr when current crosses zero. According to definition

0,1 O s= y,./ cys : the coefficient of remnant magnetism K , can be obtained.

2 DC method.
DC saturated method is the application of certain DC voltage, which can enable magnetic
f l o ~to
j reach the same value continuously. Gradual rise of excitation current means the influence
by voltage of winding resistance. Measured value on magnetic flow is obtained through
integration after voltage at the end of excitation winding is minus the additional voltage

corresponding to R,i,,,
. Typical test circuits are seen in Figure E.0.2-3.

Upon determination about excitation characteristics, switch S shall be closed ilnrnediately

after integrator is repositioned. Records are made on step-up values of excitation current and
]magnetic flow until all reach invariable: and then switch S is cut off.
Records about typical test about functional relation between the magnetic flow @ ( t ) and

excitation current i,,, ( t )and the time ( t ) are seen in Figure E.0.2-4, where magnetic flow can be

indicated by Wb or by U (f) equivalent voltage root mean square value of sated frequency
according to formula (E.0.2-2).

excitation curve divided by corresponding ill, (t), o r according to formula (E.0.2-3) when value
of magnetic flow is indicated by equivalent voltage root mean square value.
Because TPS and TPX current transformers require the determination on average slope of 0

(i,, ) characteristic, X-\d recorder s recommended.

Once switch S is disconnected, the attenuate excitation currents pass through secondary
winding and discharge resistance Rd. Then the magnetic flow value is reduced but it will not be

reduced to z e r o when current is zero. If the selected excitation current i,, makes the magnetic

flow reaclies saturation, the remnant magnetic flow will be considered as remnant magnetism

Or when current is zero.

 Appendix F Test Methods and Requirements on

Cross-interconnecting Systems of Power Cable Lines

F.0.1 DC voltage-withstanding test about insulation against ground related to

cross-interconnecting system: under test, overvoltage protector of sheath must be disconnected
under test. Three sections of cable metal covers on another side of interconnecting box are all
grounded so that insulated rings of insulation joints can also be combined together for test, and
then DC voltage 10 kV is applied at every section of cable metal screen or between metal cover
and ground, with the applying time as 1 min and no puncture.
F.0.2 Overvoltage protector about non-linear resistance sheath
1 Zinc oxide resistance piece: After DC reference current is applied on resistance pieces,
tile voltage decrease are measured, whicli is the DC reference voltage. Its value shall be within
the stipulated range of product standards;
2 Non-linear resistance pieces and the insulation resistance against ground about its lead
wire: after all lead wires of non-linear resistance piece are connected in parallel to be insulated
against grounded shell, insulation resistance between lead wire and shell is measured by lOOOV
megollmmeter with its value no less than 10 MQ.
F.0.3 Cross-interconnecting property testing: the method is the recommended one. If this
method is applied, it shall be listed into special test items.
~ 1 connecting
1 pieces of interconnecting boxes lie at normal working positions. Three-phase
balance test currents of lOOA are accessed in cable conductors at each phase. Under the
circumstance that test current is kept unchanged, measurement is employed on current of metal
cover nearest to the cross-interconnecting box and the voltage against ground. After
measurement, test current is decreased to zero with power source cut off. Then the connecting
piece nearest to the inside of cross-interconnecting box is reconnected to be of the simulated
wrong connection, and thus test current will be increased to lOOA again with re-measurement on
current of metal cove rand voltage against ground of this cross-interconnecting box. After
measurement is completed, test charge is decreased to zero with power source cut off and
connecting pieces in the cross-interconnecting box restored to the correct connecting positions.
Finally, test current is increased to lOOA again, and then measurement is implemented on
metal-cover current and voltage against ground at all other cross-interconnecting boxes on cable
lines.
If test results satisfy following requirements, properties of cross-interconnecting system will
be considered satisfactory:
1) When wrong connection is prepared for connecting pieces, test is able to indicate there
is abnormally large current of metal cover;
2) Under correct connection of connecting pieces, after any one of measured metal-current
is multiplied by a coefficient (it equals the rated current of cable divided by the test current
mentioned above), the obtained cunent value will not nlake the decrease about rated cullzi~tof
cable to exceed 3%;
3) After the measured voltage of metal cover against ground is multiplied by the coeficient
in iterr1 2) mentioned above. the value will not exceed the l n a x i ~ n ~ ~value
l n o f induced voltage
stipulated at l o a d rated current of cables.
F.0.4 Interconnecting Boxes
1 Contact resistance: this test is started after t l ~ etests mentioned above are completed on
overvoltage protector of sheath. After the knife switch (or connecting piece) is returned to the
normal working position, double-ann electrical bridge is used to measure the contact resistance
of (or connecting piece) with its value no larger than 20 pa;
2 Connecting position about knife switch (or connecting piece): this test is worked out
before the interconnecting boxes are sealed after cross-interconnecting systems pass the tests.
Connecting positions shall be correct. If re-connection is made because wrong connection is
found out, contact resistance of knife switch (connecting piece) must be re-measured.
