13.1.2 Functionality
Open or short circuited current transformer cores can cause unwanted operation of
many protection functions such as differential, earth-fault current and negative-
sequence current functions.
It must be remembered that a blocking of protection functions at an occurrence of open
CT circuit will mean that the situation will remain and extremely high voltages will
stress the secondary circuit.
Current circuit supervision (CCSSPVC) compares the residual current from a three
phase set of current transformer cores with the neutral point current on a separate input
taken from another set of cores on the current transformer.
A detection of a difference indicates a fault in the circuit and is used as alarm or to
block protection functions expected to give inadvertent tripping.
