Check from the table of selected resistances the required series stabilizing resistor
value to use. As this application requires to be so sensitive select R Series= 500 ohm,
which gives an IED operating current of 200 mA.
Calculate the primary sensitivity at operating voltage using the following equation.

where
100 mA is the current drawn by the IED circuit and
10 mA is the current drawn by each CT just at pickup
20 mA is current drawn by metrosil at pickup
The magnetizing current is taken from the magnetizing curve for the current
transformer cores which should be available. The current value at T
