where:
I
kmax
Maximum primary fundamental frequency current for close-in forward and reverse
faults (A)
I
kzone1
Maximum primary fundamental frequency current for faults at the end of zone 1
reach (A)
I
pn
The rated primary CT current (A)
I
sn
The rated secondary CT current (A)
I
n
The nominal current of the protection IED (A)
R
CT
The secondary resistance of the CT (W)
R
L
The resistance of the secondary wire and additional load (W). In solidly grounded
systems the loop resistance containing the phase and neutral wires should be used
for phase-to-ground faults and the resistance of the phase wire should be used for
three-phase faults.
In isolated or high impedance grounded systems the resistance of the single
secondary wire always can be used.
