This FAQ has been written for NEAL (North East Africa and Levant) region. If you are looking for information for another region, please select the correct country from the top-left dropdown in the page and 'Navigate to Browse FAQs' in the Support menu.
Issue:
Having two different values for RL ( Lead resistance from the CT to the relay); RL from the phase CT to the relay and RL from the neutral point CT to the relay
Environment:
Protection Function ANSI 64ref
High impedance differential
Sepam 80 Current Transformer requirement
Resolution:
In any application where the high impedance differential is used, all the CTs must have the following:
- the same ratio,
- the same magnetizing curve (same minimum Vk),
- the same maximum Rct (current Transformer secondary winding resistance),
- if the relevant CTs are not at the same distance from the relay, take the maximum RL.
