CODE OF PRACTICE : PROTECTION
The leads should be identified by ferrules near terminals.
The wiring should be by copper leads for C.T secondary’s for all cores (i.e.) metering as well as protection.
(for P.T Sec also)
Wherever two batteries are available, the primary protection and back-up protection should be from
different batteries.
Where there is only one battery at a Power Substation, the primary and back-up protections should be
given D.C supply through two individual circuits with independent fuses run from D.C bus.
D.C and A.C supplies should not be taken through different cores of the same cable.
The lead numbers are also standardized as follows
J Series D.C Incoming J1, J2, etc.

K Series Control - Closing, Tripping, etc. K1, K2, K3 etc.
L Series Alarms, indications and annunciations L1, L2, L3, etc.
E Series Potential transformer secondary’s E1, E2, E3, etc.
H Series LT A.C Supply H1, H2, H3, etc.
A Series C.T secondary for special protection A1, A2, A3, etc.
B Series Bus bar protection B1, B2, B3, etc.
C Series Protection Circuits C1, C2, C3, etc.
D Series Metering Circuits D1, D2, D3, etc.
Wherever CT cores are not used “SHORTING LOOPS” should be provided near CT secondary terminals
and not in marshaling boxes or at panels.
Certain lead numbers are standardized as follows and should be compulsorily adopted with ferrules at
terminations of leads.
J1 - Positive J2 - Negative
TRANSFORMER PROTECTION
