 CT sizing calculation is carried out based on the following assumption:
1. The Design safety factors in the calculation are considered as per Schneider Electric CT sizing application
note.

2. Recommened cable size between protection CT's and MV switchgear Relays is 2.5 mm2

3. CT secondary winding, internal resistance as follows:

750/1A - Max.CT secondary winding internal resistance at 75°C
For differential protection CT - 750/1A (5P10, 20VA) = 16 Ω
For O/C protection CT - 750/1A (5P10, 20VA) = 16 Ω

100/1A - Max. CT secondary winding internal resistance at 75°C

For O/C protection CT - 100/1A (5P10, 5VA) = 4Ω

1500/1A - Max. CT secondary winding internal resistance at 75°C

For O/C protection CT - 1500/1A (5P20, 10VA) = 8Ω

50/1A - CBCT secondary winding internal resistance at 75°C = 0.8 Ω

The calculation shall be re-checked if manufactured CT internal resistance is higher than
the above specified values.

4. Cable CT sizing calculation under section 7 is applicable for all cable CTs which are available in
10 kV MV switchgear.

Based on the CT sizing calculation, CT rating for each feeder is given below. CT ratio which are highlighted in
yellow colour are recommended size based on CT sizing calculation:
Feeder Name Cubicle Name CT Rating Type of Protection
Generator BAE0_1 750/1A (5P10, 20VA) O/C and Differential
BAE0_1 50/1A (10P10, 1VA) Earth fault
Outgoing feeder BAO901 1500/1A (5P20, 10VA) O/C
BAO901 50/1A (10P10, 1VA) Earth fault
Auxiliary transformer BAA90_ 100/1A (5P10, 5VA) O/C
BAA90_ 50/1A (10P10, 1VA) Earth fault

 FORMULAS:

A. CT Burden Calculation:

Actual Burden of CT is calculated based on the below formula,

SA = [RW +RL] x I2NCTSEC (VA)

Internal Secondary Burden of CT is calculated based on the below formula,

Si = [RCT] x I2NCTSEC (VA)

Where,
RW - Wiring resistance from CT to relay and back,
RW = 2 x L x ( Γw /1000 ) (Ω)
RL - Resistance of the protection relay
RL = SR/IR2 (Ω)
RCT - CT internal secondary resistance (Ω)
INCTSEC - CT secondary current (A)
L - Wiring distance between CT and Relay (m)
Γw - AC resistance of wiring at 75°C (Ω/km)
SR - Relay burden (VA)
IR - Rated relay current (A)

B. CT Knee Point Voltage Calculation

Actual Knee point voltage of CT is calculated based on the below formula,

Vkact = C x If (IR/INCT) x (RCT+RW +RL) (V)

Rated Knee point voltage as per IEC,

Vk = (SN x KALF /INCTSEC) + (KALF x RCT x INCTSEC) (V)

Where,
C - Safety design factor
KALF - Accuracy limit factor at rated burden
If - Fault current (A)
INCT - Rated CT primary current (A)
SN - Rated Nominal burden of CT (VA)

Requirement: Vk > Vkact

C. CT Adequacy Checking Calculation

The actual accuracy limit factor KA is calculated based on the below formula,
KA = KALF {(Si + SN) / (Si + SA)}

The actual accuracy limit factor KA after accounting safety design factor:
KAS = KA/C

The accuracy limit current referred to secondary of the CT, IA = KAS x INCTSEC (A)

The CT secondary current during maximum fault conditions, IAact = If x (INCTSEC / INCT) (A)

Requirement: IA > IAact.
