The internal burden is often stated in the test report of the current transformer. If not, it can be derived from a
DC measurement on the secondary winding.
Calculation Example:
CT 800/5; 5P10; 30 VA with R
or
CT 800/1; 5P10; 30 VA with R
Besides the CT data, the resistance of the longest connection lead between the CTs and the 7SJ62/64 device
must be known.
Stability with High-impedance Protection
The stability condition is based on the following simplified assumption: If there is an external fault, one of the
current transformers gets totally saturated. The other ones will continue transmitting their (partial) currents. In
theory, this is the most unfavorable case. Since, in practice, it is also the saturated transformer which supplies
current, an automatic safety margin is guaranteed.
Figure 2-43 shows a simplified equivalent circuit. CT1 and CT2 are assumed as ideal transformers with their
inner resistances R
and resistor R. They are multiplied by 2 as they have a forward and a return line. R
