CT Supervision (60CTS & 60CTS-I)
The relay has two methods of detecting a CT failure, depending on the relay variant.
5.4
(60CTS-I) – 7SR21 & 7SR22
The current from each of the Phase Current Transformers is monitored. If one or two of the three input currents
falls below the CT supervision current setting CTS-I for more than 60CTS-I Delay then a CT failure output
(60CTS-I Operated) is given. If all three input currents fall below the setting, CT failure is not raised.
Operation of the CT supervision elements can be inhibited from:
Inhibit 60CTS-I

5.5
(60CTS) – 7SR22
Normally the presence of negative phase sequence (NPS) current in a power system is accompanied by NPS
voltage. The presence of NPS current without NPS voltage is used to indicate a current transformer failure.
The element has a setting for NPS current level 60CTS Inps and a setting for NPS voltage level 60CTS Vnps. If
the negative sequence current exceeds its setting while the negative sequence voltage is below its setting for
more than 60CTS Delay then a CT failure output (60CTS Operated) is given.
Operation of the CT supervision elements can be inhibited from:
Inhibit 60CTS
