ABB REC650 - Voltage Transformer Requirements

The CTs according to class C must have a calculated rated equivalent limiting secondary
e.m.f. E
alANSI
that fulfils the following:
alANSI alreq
E max imum of E>
EQUATION1384 V1 EN (Equation 102)
A CT according to ANSI/IEEE is also specified by the knee point voltage V
kneeANSI
that
is graphically defined from an excitation curve. The knee point voltage V
kneeANSI
normally has a lower value than the knee-point e.m.f. according to IEC and BS. V
kneeANSI
can approximately be estimated to 75 % of the corresponding E
al
according to IEC
61869-2. Therefore, the CTs according to ANSI/IEEE must have a knee point voltage
V
kneeANSI
that fulfills the following:

16.2 Voltage transformer requirements
The performance of a protection function will depend on the quality of the measured input
signal. Transients caused by capacitive Coupled voltage transformers (CCVTs) can affect
some protection functions.
Magnetic or capacitive voltage transformers can be used.
The capacitive voltage transformers (CCVTs) should fulfill the requirements according to
the IEC 61869-5 standard regarding ferro-resonance and transients. The ferro-resonance
requirements of the CCVTs are specified in chapter 6.502 of the standard.
The transient responses for three different standard transient response classes, T1, T2 and
T3 are specified in chapter 6.503 of the standard. CCVTs according to all classes can be
used.
The protection IED has effective filters for these transients, which gives secure and correct
operation with CCVTs.
