Current Transformers for Protection Relays
Current transformers for protection relays, as opposed to those use strictly for metering purposes, have an IEEE standard classification. There are two classifications, Class T CTs and Class C CTs.
C37.110-2023
This guide describes the characteristics and classification of current transformers (CTs) used for protective relaying. It also describes the conditions that cause the CT output to be distorted and the
Protection current transformers
Description: Protection current transformers with circular primary conductor conduit for primary nominal currents from 100 A to 300 A, secondary nominal current 5 A, 2 A or 1 A, in protection classes 5P5
Transformer Protection Application Guide
This guide focuses primarily on application of protective relays for the protection of power transformers, with an emphasis on the most prevalent protection schemes and transformers.
Power transformer protection relaying (overcurrent, restricted earth
Fuses may adequately protect small transformers, but larger ones require overcurrent protection using a relay and CB, as fuses do not have the required fault breaking capacity.
