7.3.3.4 Open CT detection
The Generator differential function has a built-in, advanced open CT detection
feature. This feature can block the unexpected operation created by the Generator
differential function in case of open CT secondary circuit under normal load
condition. An alarm signal can also be issued to station operational personnel to make
remedy action once the open CT condition is detected.
The following setting parameters are related to this feature:
• Setting parameter OpenCTEnable enables/disables this feature
• Setting parameter tOCTAlarmDelay defines the time delay after which the alarm
signal will be given
• Setting parameter tOCTReset defines the time delay after which the open CT
condition will reset once the defective CT circuits have been rectified
• Once the open CT condition has been detected, then all the differential protection
functions are blocked except the unrestraint (instantaneous) differential
protection
The outputs of open CT condition related parameters are listed below:
