10.16. Configuring current transformer parameters

 
           In order to add current transformer to the scheme, user should select from Electric elements panel. Current transformer parameters tab is opened by double clicking on the inserted current transformer element .
           Current transformer tab is designed to calculate ALF value, which is “Accuracy limiting factor” of the transformer. However, properties that will be specified for the current transformer, is not going to affect trip unit operation in any way. Explanation of the current transformer parameters are provided below:
 
 
           The difference between 4 and 6 wire schemes is depicted below.
           For example, if distance between the current transformer and relay is 5 meters, then in case of 6 wire connection wire loop length should be taken as 2 x 5 = 10 m and only 1,2 x 5 = 6 m for 4 wire connection.
Wire cross section and Wire material – parameters that software need to calculate resistance of the wire. User should specify this data to represent real installation conditions of the transformer.
           Note: Some of the parameters needed for ALF calculation EA-PSM will be taken automatically from the load flows and short circuits calculation results, therefore, user should make sure that these calculations are done, and all network parameters are specified correctly.
