5.2.4 DUAL CB APPLICATION WITH DIFFERENT PHASE CT RATIOS
The following diagram shows the situation where low impedance REF is being used in a dual breaker (breaker-and-
a-half
) application where the phase CT ratios (CT
x
and CT
y
) are different. In this example, one phase of a
conventional transformer is shown, but the explanation is also applicable to autotransformers.
Figure 84: Low-Z REF for dual CB application with different phase CT ratios
The low impedance REF f
unction be used in dual breaker (breaker-and-a-half) applications. The line CT ratios can
be different. In this case the low impedance REF differential and bias current formulae are calculated as follows:
