Furthermore, it is assumed that the pickup value of the 7UT613/63x corresponds to
half the knee-point voltage of the current transformers. The extreme case is thus

This results in a stability limit I

, i.e. the maximum through-fault current below which
the scheme remains stable:

Sensitivity Consid-
erations for High-
Impedance
Protection
As before-mentioned, high-impedance protection is to pick up with approximately half
the knee-point voltage of the current transformers. Resistance R can be calculated
from it.
Since the device measures the current flowing through the resistor, resistor and mea-
suring input of the device are to be connected in series. Since, furthermore, the resis-
tance shall be high-ohmic (condition: R >> 2R

+ R

, as above mentioned), the inher-
ent resistance of the measuring input can be neglected. The resistance is then
calculated from the pickup current I
an
and half the knee-point voltage:
Calculation Example:
For the 5-A CT as above

= 0.1 A (corresponding to 16 A primary)

= 0.05 A (corresponding to 40 A primary)
