Maximum rms current of the
downstream loads (including starting
current of DC drives):
X1 = ….. Arms
Multiply X1 by
1.6:
X2 = …. Arms
CT cables > 30 meters ?
Select 3 identical CT’s such that:
- rating at primary ≥ X2
- rating at secondary: 5A
- Burden ≥ 15 VA
- Class 1 accuracy or better
NO
Section of CT cables:

Determine the length of
CT cables (meters)
L = … m
X3 = (L x 0.007 x 25) + 10
X3 = … VA
Select 3 identical CT’s such that:
