Basic data:
Current transformer ratio: 100/5 A (Note: Must be the same at all locations)
CT Class: 10 VA 5P20
Secondary resistance: 0.26 ohms
Cable loop resistance:
<50 m 2.5mm
2
(one way) gives 1 ˣ 0.4 ohm at 75° C
Note! Only one way as the tertiary power system earthing is limiting the
earth-fault current. If high earth-fault current exists use two way cable
length.
Max fault current:
The maximum through fault current is limited by the reactor reactance
and the inrush will be the worst for a reactor for example, 800 A.

Check from the table of selected resistances the required series stabilizing resistor
value to use. Since this application requires good sensitivity, select SeriesResistor =
300 ohm, which gives an IED current of 100 mA.
To calculate the sensitivity at operating voltage, refer to equation
20, which gives
an acceptable value. A little lower sensitivity could be selected by using a lower
resistance value.

The magnetizing current is taken from the magnetizing curve of the current
transformer cores, which should be available. The current value at U>Trip is taken.
For the voltage dependent resistor current the peak value of voltage 30 ˣ √2 is used.
Then the RMS current is calculated by dividing obtained current value from the
metrosil curve with √2. Use the maximum value from the metrosil curve given in
Figure 54.
