2.4 Single-Phase Overcurrent Protection

Calculation Example:
For the 5 A CT as above
desired pickup value I
pu
= 0.1 A (equivalent to 16 A primary)
For the 1 A CT as above
desired pickup value I
pu
= 0.05 A (equivalent to 40 A primary)
The required short-term power of the resistor is derived from the knee-point voltage and the resistance:
As this power only appears during ground faults for a short period of time, the rated power can be smaller by
approx. factor 5.
Please bear in mind that when choosing a higher pickup value I
pu
, the resistance must be decreased and, in
doing so, power loss will increase significantly.
The varistor B (see following figure) must be dimensioned such that it remains high-resistive until reaching
knee-point voltage, e.g.
approx. 100 V for 5 A CT,
approx. 500 V for 1 A CT.

principle
Even with an unfavorable external circuit, the maximum voltage peaks should not exceed 2 kV for safety rea-
sons.
