Secondary Circuit Data

A Cable Data
2
Cable Size S : 10 mm
Length of cable L : 1000 m
DC Resistance at 20o Rc : 1.83 ohm/km
Lead Resistance 𝑅𝐿 = 2𝑥 𝑅𝐶 𝑥 𝐿 RL : 3.66 ohm
(*) Note : Cable Data is taken from Kabelindo Cable Data Sheet

B Device Data (Multilin B30)

Calculation
A Kneepoint Requirement
The required Kneepoint Voltage of CT is calculated as following
𝑉𝑘𝑟 = 𝐾𝑡𝑓 𝑥𝐼𝑓 𝑥 (𝑅𝑐𝑡 + 𝑅𝐿 + 𝑅𝑑 )
Where :
Ktf is CT overdimensioning factor for UR B30 ver 7.xx : 3
If is fsecondary fault current 𝐼𝑠𝑐 : 25 A
𝐼𝑓 =
𝐾
Vkr : 739.5

The required kneepoint voltage is less than kneepoint voltage of CT

739.5 < 800

B CT Requirement
The Required Saturation Time (Tsat) is calculated as following

Where :
Tsat can be determined using "CT Saturation Time Estimator", shown in Fig. 1
from http://www.gegridsolutions.com/app/ViewFiles.aspx?prod=b90&type=9
Tsat : 9.97 ms

Conclusion
CT Ratio : 1600/1
CT Class : PX
Kneepoint Voltage : 800
