The current limit of the adapter CTs is specied as 100 In for 1 second. (See the Technical
Data.) The maximum short-circuit current and the protection settings (including time
delays) must be below this limit:
I
psc,max
≤ 100 I
pr
= 100 In
If this is not feasible and the maximum short-circuit current is too high – I
psc,max
> 100 I
pr
–
the size of the standard CTs can be limited so that the current ow through the adapter CTs
is limited to I ≤ 100 I
sr
. Only in this case must the maximum requirement – as described
below – be considered as well.
Maximum Requirement: The Adapter CT Must Not be Thermally Overloaded
