CT Saturation
 CT Saturation (depending on Fault inception)

Example: Same fault case , different fault inceptions

Umax Fault inception at U = 0.0·Umax

Fault inception at U = 0.8·Umax

Fault inception at U = 1.0·Umax

CT Saturation (depending on the height of Fault current I/INCT )

Example: CT 10P10 , 2000/1A , 10VA , Rct = 2Ω , R‘b = 2 Ω

Fault inception at U = 0V

6·I/INCT ; TP = 100ms

4·I/INCT ; TP = 100ms

2·I/INCT ; TP = 100ms

 CT Saturation (depending on “Primary (Net-) time constant” TP )

Example: CT 10P10 , 2000/1A , 10VA , Rct = 2Ω , R‘b = 2 Ω

Fault inception at U = 0V

10·I/INCT ; TP = 200ms

10·I/INCT ; TP = 100ms

10·I/INCT ; TP = 20ms

CT Saturation (depending on the CT burden R’b)

Example: CT 10P10 , 2000/1A , 10VA , Rct = 2Ω

Fault inception at U = 0V

10·I/INCT ; TP = 100ms
R’b = 10 Ω

10·I/INCT ; TP = 100ms
R’b = 5 Ω

10·I/INCT ; TP = 100ms
R’b = 1 Ω
