How to calculate the specification of Neutral Current Transformer..
hi!
Max. un balaned current flowing in neutral ct = 1.732 * Ir
this is being a protection ct, 5p10 class, 15 va , CT ratio - 2(1.732*Ir) / 5 or 1 Amp
depends upon the relay range.
e.g. for 5 mva 33kv/433v transformer, - Ir = 6667 Amp. on secondary star winding.
Max. un balanced current - 11547 Amp
So, CT ratio > 12000/5 Amp,
We select (2 * 11547 = 23094 A) 24000 / 5Amp
Bar primary CT. of class 5P10 , 15 VAburden.
With the above thumb rule, you will find the relay setting on the linear portion of the inverse curve of the relay characteristic.
