5.4  CT Supervision (60CTS & 60CTS-I)
The relay has two methods of detecting a CT failure, depending on the relay variant.
5.4.1 (60CTS-I) – 7SR21 & 7SR22
The current from each of the Phase Current Transformers is monitored. If one or two of the three input currents
falls  below  the  CT  supervision  current  setting CTS-I  for  more  than 60CTS-I  Delay then  a  CT  failure  output
(60CTS-I Operated) is given. If all three input currents fall below the setting, CT failure is not raised.
Operation of the CT supervision elements can be inhibited from: -
Inhibit 60CTS-I A binary input, virtual input or remote data Comms.

5.4.2 (60CTS) – 7SR22
Normally  the  presence  of  negative  phase  sequence  (NPS)  current in  a  power  system  is  accompanied  by  NPS
voltage. The presence of NPS current without NPS voltage is used to indicate a current transformer failure.
The element has a setting for NPS current level 60CTS Inps and a setting for NPS voltage level 60CTS Vnps. If
the  negative  sequence  current  exceeds  its  setting  while  the  negative  sequence  voltage  is  below its  setting  for
more than 60CTS Delay then a CT failure output (60CTS Operated) is given.
Operation of the CT supervision elements can be inhibited from: -
Inhibit 60CTS A binary input, virtual input or remote data Comms.
