Siemens 7SJ602 as high impedance relay
For the simple case of two current transformers, the voltage developed across the relay is
given by:
I k , max, thr
Vset ≥ (R ct + R L ) (2)
Kn
In most practical systems where more than two current transformers exist, the same equation
is used based on the fact that this represents the most onerous condition. R L must be the
highest loop resistance between any CT and the Relay.
In addition, the setting voltage must be lower than half of the knee point voltage of any CT in
the protection scheme.
V
Vset ≤ knee (3)

The criteria outlined above establishes maximum and minimum values for the relay setting
voltage.

Maximum Sensitivity
With I set = I set , min (minimum setting current of the protection device), the maximum
sensitivity (lowest detectable fault current) can be calculated.
( )
I p, set, min = K n ⋅ N ct ⋅ I e, set + I set, min + I var (6)
Very often, it is given as percent value related to the nominal current of the CTs.
I p, set , min
Sens max = 100% ⋅ (7)
I pn
The current I p, set should fall within the recommended fault setting and be significantly
greater than a specified minimum I p, min (where I p, min is an acceptable percentage of the
minimum primary fault current I k , min ). Therefore the relay setting current can be calculated:
I p, set
I set = − ⋅N ct ⋅ I e, set − I var (8)
Kn
With this known setting current, the value of the stabilising resistance is calculated with eqn
(4).

The varistor must be chosen to match the relay circuit setting voltage (i.e. its characteristic
must not change significantly until beyond the relay setting Vset ) and it must be capable of
passing the maximum prospective fault current that can be transformed by the CT.
The type of varistor required is chosen by its thermal rating as defined by the following
formula with the varistor parameters in Table 1:

Pvar = ⋅ α u ⋅ C ⋅ ⎜⎜ 2 ⋅ ⎟
⎟ (11)
Kn ⎝ Kn ⎠
The absorbed thermal energy during short-circuit current flow is
E var = Pvar ⋅ t k (12)
User must determine the required duration of fault t k (0.5 seconds is an accepted value) and
calculate the rating using eqn (12) result and 0.5 s.
There are 2 main types of varistors available from Metrosil which can be chosen appropriate
to these values.

ls
The value of X/R ratio and fault level will vary from one system to another, but selecting the
correct value for the CT requirements is critical. In the case of single end fed (radial) systems
the through fault level and X/R ratio should be calculated assuming the fault occurs at the
ua
location of the remote CT. For systems where the current can feed through the protected
feeder in both directions, such as parallel feeders and ring main circuits, further
consideration is required. In this case the fault level and X/R ratio should be calculated at
both the local and remote CTs. In doing so the X/R ratio and fault level will be evaluated for
both fault directions. The CT requirements, however, should be based upon the fault
an
direction that gives the highest knee-point voltage. Under no circumstances should the X/R
ratio from one fault direction and the fault level from the other be used to calculate the knee-
point. Doing so may result in exaggerated and unrealistic CT requirements.

Section 3: CT Requirements
The specification of CTs must meet the requirements of all protection functions utilised e.g. overall differential,
REF and backup over current protections.
The relay has 1A and 5A rated terminals for each CT input and any combination of these may be used. 1A rated
CTs can be used on one winding and together with 5A rated CTs on the other.
Vk ≥ 4 x I FS x (R CT + R L )
Where:
Vk = CT knee point voltage.
I FS = Max. secondary 3-phase through fault current (as limited by the transformer impedance).
R CT = Secondary winding resistance of each star connected CT.
R L = The CT secondary loop lead resistance.
Where the CTs used have a lower knee point voltage e.g. half that calculated in the expression above the biased
differential elements may have a slightly longer operate time. To ensure stability during through fault conditions
the biased differential settings should be increased by 10%.
Advice on CT Selection.
1A rated CT secondaries are preferred to 5A CTs as the CT VA burden is reduced by a factor of 25.
Line current transformer ratios should be selected to match the main transformer rating and ratio. However the
ICT Multiplier adjustment can be used to compensate for non matched ratios. Choose a CT ratio that produces
at least 0.33 x nominal secondary rating, when based on the transformer is at nameplate rating i.e. within the
range of the ICT Multiplier setting.
Where long secondary lead lengths are required measures can be taken to reduce the burden imposed on the
CTs:
Use high CT ratios to reduce the secondary current. Compensate the low secondary current using the
ICT Multipliers..
Parallel CT secondary cable cores to reduce lead resistance.
