Core Balance Current Transformer
General
The requirements for core balance current transformers are determined by the function “sensitive ground fault
detection”.
The recommendations are given according to the standard IEC 60044-1.
Requirements
Maximum difference of the primary rated currents of the core balance current
transformer:
0.33 ≥ Ι
pn-lokal
/ Ι
pn-fern
≤ 3
Select the primary rated current of the core balance current transformer so that
ground current flowing in the ground fault of the subnetwork is transmitted by
the core balance current transformer.
Transmission ratio, typical
Depending on the specific power system and the magnitude of the maximum
ground fault current, a different ratio may have to be selected.
60 / 1
Overcurrent limiting factor FS = 10
Minimum power 1.2 VA
Maximum connected burden
– for secondary current thresholds ≥ 20 mA
– for secondary current thresholds < 20 mA
≤ 1.2 VA (≤ 1.2 Ω)
≤ 0.4 VA (≤ 0.4 Ω)
Class Accuracy
Table D-2
Minimum required class accuracy depending on the neutral point grounding and the operation
of the function
Neutral point Isolated Resonant-grounded system
Function directional Class 1 Class 1
An angle correction may have to be parameterized at the device for particularly small ground fault currents
(see Description of the “Sensitive Ground Fault Detection”).
