6.10.6 CT locations for the case of feeding transformer and backup generator
Many installations are fitted with backup generators to ensure the proper operation of
the installation in case of a mains supply outage.
A typical configuration is given in Figure 46.

The CT connection must be such that the active filter works whatever the type of supply:
generator or transformer-MV network.
For each phase, one CT is installed in the transformer branch and one in the generator
branch. Those two CTs must be identical (X / 5 A) and must be connected to a
summation CT rated 5+5 / 5 A.
The CT ratio to be programmed in the filter is: 2⋅X/5. Figure 47 gives the corresponding
connection diagram per phase.
