CT supervision - 74CT
Preface
The CT monitoring function is employed to issue an alarm when secondary phase CTs and/or phase
input failures are detected.
Interruptions are detected by means of a symmetry criterion of the I
L1
, I
L2
, I
L3
input currents.
The symmetry factor is calculated comparing the minimum and maximum of the fundamental compo-
nents of the three phase currents (I
LMIN
/ I
LMAX
).
Operation and settings
The starting of the timer occurs if both the following conditions are filled:
A) (I
LMIN
/ I
LMAX
) < S
<
that is the symmetry factor is lower than the S
<
adjustable threshold;
B) I
LMAX
> I*
Where
I*: maximum phase current threshold
S<: element pickup value
If both conditions are filled over the t
S<
adjustable time an alarm is issued
The output may be assigned to the selected S<TR-K output relays inside the Set \ CT supervi-
sion-74CT submenu; the same for addressing the LED indicators S<TR-L.
If the S<-BLK1 parameter is set to ON, and a binary input is designed for logical block (Block1), the
CT supervision function is blocked off whenever the given input is active. The trip timer is held in re-
set condition, so the operate time counting starts when the input block goes down.
[1]
The S<-BLK1
parameter is available inside the Set \ CT supervision-74CT menu.
The element may be enabled or disabled by setting ON the 74CT Enable parameter available
inside the Set \ CT supervision-74CT menu.
All the parameters are common for A and B Profiles.
Note 1 The exhaustive treatment of the logic block (Block 1) function may be found in the “Logic Block” paragraph inside CONTROL AND MONITORING
