6.18 Burdens and current transformer requirements
Voltage burden less than 0.1VA, 0.4 lagging power factor per phase at 63.5V
phase to neutral.
Current burden per phase with balanced three phase rated current.
0.26VA (1A relay
Mho version
0.68VA (5A relay)
0.34VA (1A relay
Quadrilateral version
0.75VA (5A relay)
The current transformers should have a minimum knee point output voltage V
K
defined as:
V
K
= I
F
(1 + X/R) (R
B
+ R
CT
+ R
L
)
Where
I
F
= The maximum fault current at the relay Zone 1 reach point in
secondary terms.
X/R = Primary system ratio.
R
B
= Relay burden resistance.
R
CT
= CT internal resistance in secondary terms.
R
L
= Lead resistance from CTS to relay.
(lead and return for earth faults, lead only for phase faults).
The following table gives the values of relay burden resistance R
