Wire burden :
The effective wire burden will be calculated for a two wire connection of ct and relay according to length, cross-section, copper
resistance and sec. norminal current:
Cross section (awire) :
Resistance of wire at 20 C, (Rw20) =
Resistance of wire at 50 C, (Rw50) =
Length (lwire) :

CHECK OF CT REQUIREMENTS :
- Operating accuracy limiting factor Koalf :
The CT behaviour acc. to IEC-P will be described by the operating accuracy limiting factor K oalf. It depends on the
nominal accuracy limiting factor Knalf, the nominal burden Pn, the internal CT burden Pct and the total effective connected
burden Ptotal :
K oalf = K nalf
P n + P ct
P total + P ct

The value of Issc must be considered with the actual parameters of the devices that are connected.
In this case the protection limit of the relay will be 20x the input and hence this must be the limit to set the Iscc/Ipn
The relay settings shall be done according to this principle. This means that the value of Inst S/C that will be set
will approximately lie in the range of 20 times Ipn and not more than this value.
