Figure 33: Example of ABB Rogowski current sensor KECA 80 D85 rating plate
Current (Rogowski) sensor setting example
In this example, an 80 A/0.150 V at 50 Hz (0.180 V at 60 Hz) sensor, such as
the example shown in
Figure 33
, is used in a 50 Hz electrical network. The
application has a 150 A nominal current (In) corresponding to the protected
object’s nominal current. The application nominal current is set to Rogowski
sensor setting
Primary current
. Taken from the sensor’s technical data, this
example sensor can be used with up to 4000 A application nominal current.
As the Rogowski sensor is linear and does not saturate, the 80 A/0.150 V
at 50 Hz sensor also works as a 150 A/0.28125 V at 50 Hz sensor. When
defining another primary value for the sensor, also the nominal voltage has
to be redefined to maintain the same transformation ratio. However, the
setting in the protection relay (
Rated Secondary Value
) is not in V but in
mV/Hz, which makes the same setting
Rated Secondary Value
valid for both
50 and 60 Hz nominal frequency.
