Matching Of Ct Secondary Currents - Toshiba GRT100 Series Instruction Manual

2.3.2

Matching of CT Secondary Currents

In order to restrain erroneous differential currents, the currents supplied to the differential
elements must be matched in phase and amplitude under through-load and through-fault
conditions.
In GRT100, the matching is performed through the settings.
2.3.2.1 Matching of Phase Angle
It is necessary to compensate for phase angle difference among line currents on each side of the
transformer when the transformer windings have both star- and delta-connections.
GRT100 can compensate for the phase angle difference by the setting and does not require CT
secondary circuit arrangement such as delta-connection on the star-connected side of the power
transformer which was common for the former transformer protection.
The phase angle matching is performed by inputting the phase angle of each winding according
to the hands of a clock. For details of the setting, refer to 2.3.4.
2.3.2.2 Matching of CT Ratio
When I to I relevant to 1CT to 3CT secondary currents are supplied, the differential current I

where kct1 to kct3 are settings corresponding to 1CT to 3CT.
The setting kct1 is obtained by using the following equation.
