secondary distribution (switches, RMU) and in high voltage
up to 800 kV.
Schneider Electric 26- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
�Vacuum is limited to the breaking function and only in medium voltage (mainly up to 36 kV):

DIELECTRIC WITHSTAND
depends on 3 parameters:
� The Dielectric strength of the medium
� The Shape of the parts
� The distance :
� ambient air between the live parts
Schneider Electric 40- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
� ambient air between the live parts
� insulating air interface between the live parts
Dielectric Strength of air depends on ambient conditions:
� Pollution � reducing the insulating performance by a
factor <10. Pollution may occur from external dust, lack of cleanliness,
breaking down of an internal surface, pollution & humidity causes
electrochemical conduction which will worsen discharge phenomena.
� Condensation � reducing the insulating performance by a
. factor 3
� Pressure � related to the altitude, derating performance.
� Humidity � % of humidity can cause a change in insulating
Schneider Electric 41- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
� Humidity � % of humidity can cause a change in insulating
performances. (liquid always leads to a droop in performance)
� Temperature � temp. increases can cause decreases insulation performance. Thermal shock can be the cause of the micro
fissuration which can lead very quickly to insulator breakdown. Insulator
expands by 5 and 15 times more than a conductor.
� The Shape of the parts
� It is essential to eliminate any “peak” effect to avoid disastrous effect on the impulse wave withstand in particular and on the surface ageing of insulator.
� Air Ionization � Generate Ozone � Breakdown of insulator surface or skin
� Distance between parts
(there is ambient air between live parts)
� For installations sometime we can not test under impulse conditions, the table below gives the minimum distance to comply with in air either phase to earth or phase to phase .
�The table based on IEC 71-2 according to the rated lightning impulse withstand voltage and these distances guarantee correct withstand for unfavorable configurations: altitude < 1 000 m.

Metering transformer applicationsInstrument transformers are necessary to provide values
that can be used by these devices which can be analogue
devices, digital processing units with a microprocessor,
after analogue/digital conversion of the input signal (e.g.:
Sepam or Power Logic System).
Current transformer
Schneider Electric 46- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
Current transformers (CT) meet standard IEC 60044-1.
InsulationCharacterized by the rated voltage:
� of the insulation, which is that of the installation (e.g.: 24 kV)
� of the power frequency withstand 1 min (e.g.: 50 kV)
� of the impulse withstand (e.g.: 125 kV).
� Rated frequency
Characteristics Of Current Transformer:Based on standard IEC 60044-1.
Schneider Electric 47- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
� Rated frequency50 or 60 Hz.
� Rated primary current (Ipn)Rms value of the maximum continuous primary current.
Usual values are 25, 50, 75, 100, 200, 400, 600 A.
Rated secondary current (Isn)This is equal to 1 A or 5 A.
� Rated transformation ratioKn = I rated primary / I rated secondary (e.g.: 100 A / 5 A)
� Short-time thermal current Ith - 1 second
Characteristics Of Current Transformer:Based on standard IEC 60044-1.
Schneider Electric 48- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
� Short-time thermal current Ith - 1 secondThis characterizes the thermal withstand under short circuit conditions
for 1 second.
It is expressed in kA or in a multiple of the rated primary current (e.g.: 80
x Ipn) for 1 second.
The value for a duration that is different to 1 second is given by:
I’th =SQRT ( Ith^2 / t ) � Ith : 16kA/1 sec, I’th for 2 sec : SQRT (16^2/2) = 11.31kA/2sec
Characteristics Of Current Transformer:Based on standard IEC 60044-1.
Short-time thermal current peak valueThis value is standardized from Ith - 1 s at:
� IEC: 2.5 Ith at 50 Hz and 2.6 Ith at 60 Hz
� ANSI: 2.7 Ith 60 Hz.
Accuracy load
Schneider Electric 49- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
Accuracy loadThe value of the load on which is based the metered current accuracy
conditions.
Accuracy power PnApparent power (VA) that the CT can supply on the secondary for the
rated secondary current for which the accuracy is guaranteed
(accuracy load).
Usual values 5 - 7.5 - 10 - 15 VA (IEC).
Accuracy classDefines the limits of error guaranteed on the transformation ratio and
on the phase
shift under the specified conditions of power and current. Classes 0.5 and 1 are used
for metering class P for protection.
Characteristics Of Current Transformer:Based on standard IEC 60044-1.
Schneider Electric 50- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
Current error ε (%)Error that the transformer introduces in the measurement of a current when the transformation ratio is different from the rated value.
Phase shift or phase error ψ (minute)Difference in phase between the primary and secondary currents, in angle minutes
Characteristics Of Current Transformer:Based on standard IEC 60044-1.
Schneider Electric 51- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
magnetization curve (for a given temperature and frequency).
This magnetization curve (voltage Vo, magnetizing current function Im) can be divided into 3 zones:1 - non-saturated zone: Im is low and the voltage Vo (and therefore Is) increases virtually proportionately to the primary current.2 - intermediary zone: there is no real break in the curve and it is difficult to situate a precise point corresponding to the saturation voltage.3 - saturated zone: the curve becomes virtually horizontal; the error in transformation ratio is high, the secondary current is distorted by saturation.
Schneider Electric 52- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
Schneider Electric 53- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
Metering CTThis requires good accuracy (linearity zone) in an area close to the normal service current; it must also protect metering devices from high currents by saturating earlier
Protection CT
Schneider Electric 54- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
Protection CTThis requires good accuracy at high currents and will have a higher precision limit (linearity zone) for protection relays to detect the protection thresholds that they are meant to be monitoring.
Schneider Electric 55- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
SafetyThe CT secondary is used at low impedance (virtually in short circuit).
The secondary circuit should never be left open, since this would
mean connecting across an infinite impedance. Under these conditions,
hazardous voltages for personnel and equipment may exist across the
terminals.
Terminal markingCT connection is made to the terminals identified according to the IEC:
� P1 and P2 on the MV side
� S1 and S2 on the corresponding secondary. In the case of a double
output, the first output is identified by 1S1 and 1S2, the second by 2S1
Schneider Electric 56- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
output, the first output is identified by 1S1 and 1S2, the second by 2S1
and 2S2.
Schneider Electric 57- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
CT for meteringAccuracy class� A metering CT is designed to send as accurate an image as possible of
currents below 120% of the rated primary.
� Accuracy guaranteed from load 25% and 100% of the accuracy power.
� IEC standard 60044-1 determines the maximum error:
Schneider Electric 58- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
CT for metering
Safety factor: FSIn order to protect the metering device connected to the CT from high currents on the MV side, instrument transformers must have early saturation characteristics.The limit primary current (Ipl) is defined for which the current error in the secondary is equal to 10%. The standard then defines the Safety Factor FS.:
Schneider Electric 59- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
This is the multiple of the rated primary current from which the error
becomes greater than 10% for a load equal to the accuracy power.
CT for protection� Accuracy class
A protection CT is designed to send as reliable an image as possible of the fault current (overload or short circuit).
� IEC standard 60044-1 determines the maximum error for each accuracy class in the
phase and in the module according to the indicated operating range.
Schneider Electric 60- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
For example for class 5P the maximum error is y ± 5% at the accuracy limit current
and y ± 1% at the rated current.
Standardized classes are 5P and 10P. The choice depends on the application.
The accuracy class is always followed by the accuracy limit factor.
Accuracy limit factor: FLPA protection CT must saturate at sufficiently high currents to enable sufficient
accuracy in the measurements of fault currents by the protection device whose
operating threshold can be very high.
The limit primary current (Ipl) for which current errors and phase shift
Schneider Electric 61- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
The limit primary current (Ipl) for which current errors and phase shift
errors in the secondary do not exceed values in the table below
The standard then defines the accuracy limit factor FLP.
In practice this corresponds to the linearity limit (saturation curve) of the CT.

� Standardized values :

� CT must be able to withstand 120% the rated current
CURRENT TRANSFORMER
Example:
A thermal protection device for a motor has a setting range of between 0.6 and 1.2 x Ir (CT).
In order to protect this motor, the required setting must correspond to the motor’s rated current.
� If we assume that Ir for the motor = 45 A, the required setting is therefore: 45A
� If we use a 100/5A CT, the relay will never see 45A , because: 100A x 0.6 = 60A > 45A.
� If we use a 75/5A CT, the relay will see , 75 x 0.6 = 45 A
� The range of setting will be: 0.6 < 45/75 < 1.2 . This CT is suitable.
RATED THERMAL SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT (Ith)
Schneider Electric 64- Industrial Division Σ July 2009
RATED THERMAL SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENT (Ith)
� Value of the installation max. short circuit current and the duration 1s or 3 s.
� Each CT must be able to withstand short circuit current both thermally and dynamically until the
fault is effectively cut off.
� Ith = Ssc / (U x V3), Ssc = power short circuit MVA
� When the CT is installed in a fuse protected, the Ith = apprx. 80 Ir.
RATED SECONDARY CURRENT:
