The operational accuracy limit factor n' is derived from these rated data and the actual secondary burden P':
With
n' = operational accuracy limit factor (effective overcurrent factor)
n = rated accuracy limit factor of the current transformers (distinctive number behind P)
P
N
= rated burden of the current transformers [VA] at rated current
P
i
= internal burden of the current transformers [VA] at rated current
P' = actually connected burden (devices + secondary lines) [VA] at rated current
Usually, the internal burden of the current transformers is stated in the test report. If it is unknown, it can be
roughly calculated from the DC resistance R
i
of the secondary winding.

The ratio between operational accuracy limit factor and rated accuracy limit factor n'/n is set at address 251
K_ALF/K_ALF_N.
The CT error at rated current, plus a safety margin, is set at address 253 E% ALF/ALF_N. It is equal to the
„current measuring deviation for primary nominal current intensity F1“ according to VDE 0414 / Part 1 or IEC
60044. It is
– 3 % for a 5P transformer,
– 5 % for a 10P transformer.
The CT error at rated accuracy limit factor, plus a safety margin, is set at address 254 E% K_ALF_N. It is
derived from the number preceding the P of the transformer data.
Table 2-1 illustrates some usual protective current transformer types with their characteristic data and the rec-
ommended settings.
