1) Calculation of CT parameters for Generator Transformer Feeder Differential Protection (87GT FDR)
CT Ratio Selection :
Formula for calculating Knee point voltage requirement for differential protection
Vk = 40 x I (Rct + 2 Rl+Rrelay)
= 234.8 Volts
We choose Vk >= 300V to account for variation in cable length, variation in CT, relay types etc.
Hence, Vk >=300V
R relay = 1 VA (Assumed)
= 35.5425 Volts
Vk = 2 Vr = 71.085 Volts
3) Calculation of parameters for 132kV Generator Transformer Neutral side CT used for 51GTT protection.
= 531.6 Volts

UAT CT Sizing
However CT ratio selected on 13.8kV side is = 1000 /1 Amp ( To ensure non-saturation of CT for
faults )

Formula for calculating Knee point voltage requirement for differential protection
Vk = 40 x I (Rct x 2 Rl+Rrelay)
= 314.8 Volts
We choose Vk >= 400V to account for variations in cable length, variation in CT, relay types etc.
Hence, Vk >=400V
Selection of Class of CT
For the operation of Instantaneous protection, the CT will see the higher value of subtransient current.Due
to this high fault current the CT may get saturated if lower ratio is used. To avoid CT saturation and to keep knee point
voltage low, a separate CT of higher ratio is selected for Instantaneous(50) protection.
CT Ratio Selection :
However CT ratio selected on 13.8kV side is = 1000 /1 Amp ( To ensure non-saturation of CT for
faults )
Relay Burden : 0.5 ( Assumed)
Since the secondary Current is 1A, the above burden can be taken as the total burden in ohms.
i.e., Rrelaytotal in ohms = Rrelaytotal in VA/(Is2) , where Is = Secondary Current of CT.
Therefore Rrelaytotal in ohms = 0.5
= 0.5 ohms
Contribution from system through GT = 26.1 kA (From ARAR Short circuit study
Selection of Class of CT
CT Ratio Selection :
For a fault on HV side of UAT, the fault is cleared by 50UAT, 87OA. Therefore 51UAT
acts as a back up for UAT LV side faults and as such CT for 51UAT will be designed for the LV fault.
Fault on LV side of UAT as seen from HV side of UAT = 30.8 x 0.48 / 13.8
= 1.0713 kA
