TYPE: SIL-A

CT REQUIREMENT FOR SIL-A AS PER MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDATION :

VALF < VSAT the CT is correct Condition-1

VALF = RALF * IALF Result-1

VSAT = (1.4/1.6) * Rmax * ALF Result-2

CT REQUIREMENT AS PER IEC-60044-6 RECOMMENDATION :

Ual = If*(Rct+Rwire+Rrelay) Condition-2

Ual(Required) = If*(Rct+Rwire+Rrelay) Result-3

Ual(Available) = IALF *Isn*(Rct+Rwire+Rrelay) Result-4

Where
RALF = Rct + Rwire + Rrelay

Rmax = Burden / (In^2)

If = CT secondary current corresponding to Switchgear interrupting current

IALF = The protection class of The CT 10
Rct = secondary direct current winding resistance of the CT at 75°C

Rrelay =Relay burden

Rwire =Lead burden

Isn = CT rated secondary current

CONNECTED RESISTIVE BURDEN

SIL-A Relay burden (Rrelay) = 1.5 VA

Lead burden (Rwire) calculation

The effective wire burden will be calculated for a two wire connection of CT and relay according to length, cross-section, copper resistivity and secondary nominal current:

Wire burden:
Length lwire = 5m (Approximate )
2
Cross-section awire = 2.5 mm
2
Resistivity(Cu) pcu = 0.00741 Ohms mm /m

Nominal CT sec. Current I sn = 1A

Eff. Wire length p.u. k = 2

 13.8KV PUMPING STATION PS A1

Pwire = ((k*lwire*pcu)/awire)*(Isn^2)

= 0.030 VA
Rwire = Pwire/I sn^2

Rwire = 0.030 ohms

Rrelay = 1.5/1^2 ohms

= 1.500 ohms

RALF = Rct + Rwire + Rrelay

= 6.5+0.03+1.5
RALF = 8.030 ohms

CT REQUIREMENT FOR SIL-A AS PER MANUFACTURE RECOMMENDATION :

VALF = RALF * IALF

= 8.03 x 10
VALF = 80.3 volt Result-1

VSAT = (1.4/1.6) * Rmax * ALF

= (1.4/1.6)x(20/1^2)x(10)
VSAT = 175.000 volt Result-2

CT REQUIREMENT AS PER IEC-60044-6 RECOMMENDATION :

Ual(Required) = If*(Rct+Rwire+Rrelay)

= 102.784 volt Result-3

Ual(Available) = IALF*Isn*(Rct + Rwire + Rrelay)

= 80.3 volt Result-4

INFERENCE:

Condition-1 is fulfilled i.e. Result-1 (VALF) < Result-2 (VSAT). However Condition-2 is not fullfilled i.e Result-4 (Ual(Available)) < Result-3 (Ual(Required))

Hence, CT is not suitably sized
