    Electrical Thumb Rule

    Uploaded by

    Radha
    This document discusses three important electrical thumb rules regarding current transformers (CTs): 1. The accuracy class of metering CTs can range from 0.1 to 5, with lower classes indicating higher precision. 2. The accuracy class letter of a CT (B, C, T, H, L) provides information about its intended application and performance characteristics. 3. The accuracy class of protection CTs typically ranges from 10P5 to 10P10/5, with lower classes required for more sensitive protective devices.

    Metering Class CT
    Class Applications
    0.1 To 0.2 Precision measurements
    0.5 High grade kilowatt hour meters for commercial
    grade kilowatt hour meters

    Accuracy Class Letter of CT


    Metering Class CT
    Accuracy Applications
    Class
    B Metering Purpose
    Protection Class CT
    C CT has low leakage flux.
    T CT can have significant leakage flux.
    H CT accuracy is applicable within the entire range of
    secondary currents from 5 to 20 times the nominal
    CT rating. (Typically wound CTs.)
    L CT accuracy applies at the maximum rated
    secondary burden at 20 time rated only. The ratio
    accuracy can be up to four times greater than the
    listed value, depending on connected burden and
    fault current. (Typically window, busing, or bar-type
    CTs.)
