8.2.3 Protection
A series of internal and external faults were performed to determine the CT requirements for
the differential function. These tests were performed under different X/R ratios, CT burdens,
fault currents, fault types and point on wave. The CT requirements are determined either by
the operating time for internal faults (35msec in the P64x) or by through fault stability,
whichever requires the highest K dimensioning factor. The K factors were calculated for
internal and external faults.
The following equation shows that the knee point voltage (VK) is directly proportional to the
CT burden (RCT) and to the loop burden (2RL). K is the CT dimensioning factor calculated
using the equation below and the CT requirements test results.
Vk kI n (Rct + 2 Rl + Rr )
To achieve through fault stability and operating times 35msec, the K dimensioning factor
must comply with the following expressions:
