What is Current Transformer Direct use of high current (in the tune of 100A or more)is not possible as protective relays and metering
devices are not designed to handle such huge amount
of current
Current Transformer is an instrument transformerwhich transforms current from one level to anotherwhich transforms current from one level to another
level, such as, 1000A/1A (CT ratio) i.e. transforms
t f th l l f 1000A i t t f 1A l lcurrent from the level of 1000A into current of 1A level

Current Transformer Theory Primary current has two components, first is secondarycurrent which is transformed in inverse of the turnsratio and an exciting current which supplies the eddy &g pp yhysteresis losses and magnetize the core
Exciting current is not transformed and causes errors The exciting current determines the maximum The exciting current determines the maximumaccuracy that can be achieved with a currenttransformer

What is inaccuracy?What is inaccuracy? The secondary current which we get is not truereflection of its primary current. for example, for a CTp y pwith CT ratio of 1000/1 amps, if we get 0.99 amps insecondary leading primary current by 15 minutes (0.25degree) for primary current of 1000 amps so the CTdegree) for primary current of 1000 amps, so the CThas ratio error of (0.991)/1 x 100= 1% and phaseerror of 15 minutes

Total burden is the sum of1 D i ( d l ) B d F i h d b1. Device (transducer, meter, relay etc) Burden Furnished bythe manufacturer2.

Effect of Secondary Open Circuiting E.M.F. induced in secondary winding is that required to drive
secondary current through total impedance of secondarycircuit, and core flux inducing this e.m.f. is provided by a smallcircuit, and core flux inducing this e.m.f. is provided by a smalldifference between primary and secondary m.m.f. (ampereturns)
With secondary open circuited, there are no secondary ampereturns to oppose those due to primary current and whole ofprimary m.m.f. act on the core as an excessive exciting force,p y g ,which drive core into saturation on each half wave of thecurrent
Thi hi h t f h f fl i th i f i t This high rate of change of flux in the region of primary currentzero induces an e.m.f., Es of high peak value in the secondarywinding

Protection of EVT from accidental overloads and short circuit
Protection of Voltage Transformer Protection of EVT from accidental overloads and short circuit
across its secondary terminal is achieved by incorporating fusesor MCB in secondary circuit located near to transformer aspossible
Normal secondary current is not more than 5A and short circuitcurrent in the range of 100A simple fuses can be employedcurrent in the range of 100A, simple fuses can be employed
Short circuit on secondary winding gives only a few amperes inprimary winding and is not sufficient to rupture a high voltagefuse at primary side (HRC fuses on primary side up to 66kV)
Hence high voltage fuse on primary side do not protecttransformer they protect only network in case of any shorttransformer, they protect only network in case of any shortcircuit on the primary side
CVT invariably solidly connected to the system so that there isno primary protection

A practical CVT consists of capacitance, tuning inductance andFerro-resonance
A practical CVT consists of capacitance, tuning inductance andwound PT which is having exciting impedance of nonlinearcharacteristicsWh it d li i d t t d i Whenever a capacitor and nonlinear inductor are connected inseries, there is a danger of nonlinear energy interchanges atsubharmonic frequencies and causes sustained oscillation andconsequently large overvoltage in the circuit
Such oscillations are less likely to occur when the losses in thecircuit are high, hence resistive load is increased in CVT (it alsocircuit are high, hence resistive load is increased in CVT (it alsoimpair the transient response)
To avoid Ferroresonance the operating flux of iron parts is keptat 1/2 to 1/3rd of the sat ration fl densit hich pre entsat 1/2 to 1/3rd of the saturation flux density, which preventshigh exciting currents during circuit transients
Alternately a special provision for damping the oscillations isprovided

Coupling Capacitor
In Power Line Carrier Communication (PLCC), CouplingCapacitor (CC) is used as coupling device between
li d i i t ll hi hpower line and carrier accessories to allow highfrequency (40500KHz.) carrier signals into/out ofcarrier accessories (Line Matching Unit (LMU) etc )carrier accessories (Line Matching Unit (LMU) etc.)
Some times, the capacitor part in CVT is used as CC inPLCC
When CVT is used as CC the terminal HF will beconnected to carrier accessories (carrier coupling unit)
