1 Scope
This Standard applies to newly manufactured current transformers for use with electrical measuring instruments and electrical protective devices at frequencies from 15 Hz to 100 Hz.
Although the requirements relate basically to transformers with separate windings, they are also applicable, where appropriate, to autotransformers.
Chapter 13 covers the requirements and tests, in addition to those in Chapter 4 to Chapter 11, that are necessary for current transformers for use with electrical measuring instruments.
Chapter 14 covers the requirements and tests, in addition to those in Chapter 4 to Chapter 11, that are necessary for current transformers for use with electrical protective relays, and in particular for forms of protection in which the prime requirement is the maintenance of accuracy up to several times the rated current.
For certain protective systems, where the current transformer characteristics are dependant on the overall design of the protective equipment (for example high-speed balanced systems and earth-fault protection in resonant earthed networks), additional requirements are given in Chapter 15 for class PR transformers and in Chapter 16 for class PX transformers.
Chapter 15 covers the requirements and tests in addition to those in Chapter 4 to Chapter 11 that are necessary for current transformers for use with electrical protective relays, and in particular for forms of protection in which the prime requirement is the absence of remanent flux.
Chapter 16 covers the requirements and tests in addition to those in Chapter 4 to Chapter 11 that are necessary for current transformers for use with electrical protective relays, and in particular for forms of protection for which knowledge of the transformer’s secondary excitation characteristic, secondary winding resistance, secondary burden resistance and turns ratio is sufficient to assess its performance in relation to the protective relay system with which it is to be used.
Current transformers intended for both measurement and protection shall comply with all the clauses of this standard.
