systems where fault currents may be quite large, the 469 1A or 5A secondary ground CT
input should be used for either zero-sequence or residual ground sensing. If the connection
is residual, the Ground CT secondary and primary values should be the same as the phase
CT. If however, the connection is zero-sequence, the Ground CT secondary and primary
values must be entered. The Ground CT primary should be selected such that potential
fault current does not exceed 20 times the primary rating. When relaying class CTs are
purchased, this precaution will ensure that the Ground CT does not saturate under fault
conditions.
The
PHASE DIFFERENTIAL CT PRIMARY
used. If two CTs are used per phase in a vectorial summation configuration, the CTs should
be chosen to ensure there is no saturation during motor starting. If however, a core
balance CT is used for the differential protection in each phase, a low CT rating of 50 or 100
A allows for very sensitive differential protection.
When the two-speed motor feature is used, a value for a second set of Phase CTs and
motor FLA must be entered here for Speed 2. If the Phase CTs are the same as the speed 1
phase CTs, simply enter the same value here as well.
Example 1:
Consider a 469 with a 5 A Phase CT secondary and Ground Fault Detection set to Residual
and a motor with the following specifications:
Motor Nameplate FLA: 87 A; Low Resistance Grounded; Maximum Fault: 400 A
The following settings are required:
"100"

Example 2:
Consider a 469 with a 5 A Phase CT secondary and Ground Fault Detection set to Residual
and a motor with the following specifications:
Motor Nameplate FLA: 255 A; Solidly Grounded; Maximum Fault: 10000 A;
Zero Sequence Ground CT: (10000/20) 500:1

Example 3:
Again, consider a 469 with a 5 A Phase CT secondary and Ground Fault Detection set to
Residual and a motor with the following specifications:
Motor Nameplate FLA: 330 A; High Resistance Grounded; Maximum Fault: 5 A
