Current Transformer Supervision [60L]
Available elements:
CTS
Wire breaks and failures within measuring circuits cause current transformer failures.
The module
»CTS« can detect a failure of the CT if the calculated earth current does not match the measured one.
If an adjustable threshold value (Difference of measured and calculated earth current) is exceeded, a CT failure can
be assumed. This is signaled through a message/alarm.
The precondition is that the conductor currents are measured by the device and the earth current, for instance, by a
ring core type current transformer.
The measuring principles of the circuit supervision are based on comparing the measured and the calculated
residual currents:

KI represents a correction factor which takes the different transformation ratio of the phase- and earth current
transformers into account. The device automatically calculates this factor from the rated field parameters, i.e. the
relation between the rated primary and secondary current values of the phase- and earth current transformers.
For compensating the current proportional ratio error of the measuring circuits, the dynamic correction factor Kd can
be used. As a function of the measured max. current this factor is considering the linear rising measuring error.
The limiting value of the CT supervision is calculated as follows:
∆
I = deviation I (rated value)
Kd = correction factor
Imax = current maximum
Limiting value =
∆
I + Kd x Imax
