A.4 Current Transformer Requirements
The requirements for phase current transformers are usually determined by the overcurrent time protection,
particularly by the high-current element settings. Besides, there is a minimum requirement based on experi-
ence.
The recommendations are given according to the standard IEC 60044-1.
The standards IEC 60044-6, BS 3938 and ANSI/IEEE C 57.13 are referred to for converting the requirement
into the knee-point voltage and other transformer classes.
