QUESTION 1: Mark: 6
For a current transformer with a turn ratio of 500:5, a secondary leakage impedance of (0.02+j0.20) Ω and a
magnetizing impedance is (5.0+j15) Ω, calculate the magnitude of correction factor (𝜀) for a resistive burden
of 1.2 Ω and compare it with an inductive burden of j1.2 Ω.
Detailed Solution:
𝐸 𝐼1 ×1.19∠13.13°
𝐼𝑚 = 𝑍𝑚 = = 𝐼1 × 0.075∠ − 58.43°
𝑚 5.0+𝑗15
𝐼𝑚
Per unit CT error = = 0.075∠ − 58.43°
𝐼1
1 1
Correction factor 𝜀 = 1−𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑟 = 1−0.075∠−58.43° = 1.04∠ − 3.80°

For Zb = j1.2 Ω
𝑍 ×(𝑍𝑥2 +𝑍𝑏 ) (5.0+j15)(0.02+j0.20+𝑗1.2)
𝐸𝑚 = 𝐼1 (𝑍𝑚 = 𝐼1 (5.0+j15+0.02+j0.20+𝑗1.2) = 𝐼1 (1.29∠87.770 )
𝑚 +𝑍𝑥2 +𝑍𝑏 )
𝐸 𝐼1 ×1.29∠87.770
and 𝐼𝑚 = 𝑍𝑚 = = 𝐼1 (0.08∠16.20° )
𝑚 5.0+𝑗15
𝐼𝑚
Per unit CT error = = 0.08∠16.20°
𝐼1
1 1
𝜀 = 1−𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑟 = 1−0.08∠16.20° = 1.08∠1.380
QUESTION 2: Mark: 6
For a 500:5 A, 10C800 class CT used for protecting a line, the maximum burden resistance allowed for a
system fault current of 5000A is
Detailed Solution:
CT secondary winding is rated at 5 A secondary, this corresponds to a maximum secondary current of (20x5=)
100 A.
The 10C800 CT will have an error of ≤10% at a secondary current of 100 A for burden impedances which
produce 800 V or less at its secondary terminals.
The magnitude of the magnetizing impedance for maximum error
800
= 80 𝛺 .
𝐼𝑚(=10% 𝑜𝑓 100𝐴)
For a primary current of 5000 A, the nominal secondary current will be 5000 x (5/500) = 50 A.
With a maximum error of 10 %, this will allow a magnetizing current of 5 A.
At this magnetizing current, it will have a maximum secondary voltage = 80x5=400 V.
The primary current is 50 A, the maximum burden impedance which will produce 400 V at the secondary is
400
= = 8.88 Ω.
