R 528.5 Ohms: 10.4763 X (RCT + 2 RL)

The document calculates fault current, fault voltage, and stabilizing resistor value for a relay protection system given a fault MVA of 8, transformer impedance of 0.0835, voltage rating of 6.6kV, and CT and cable resistances. It determines that the fault current is 10.4763A secondary, fault voltage is 62.8579V, and the stabilizing resistor value should be 528.5 ohms.

Fault MVA = MVA / Transformer Impedance

= 8 / 0.0835 = 95.8084

Fault Current = Fault MVA x 1000 / ( 1.732 x Voltage rating )


= 95.8084 x 1000 ( 1.732 x 6.6 )
= 8281.06 Amp primary
= 8281.06 / 800 = 10.4763 Amp Secondary

Fault Voltage developed across the relay = fault current x loop resistance
at the time of Maximum fault conditions

Vs = If ( Rct + 2 RL) RL = CT Lead Resistance


= 10.4763 x ( Rct + 2 RL)
= 10.4763 x ( 4 + 2) ( assumed RL = 1 ohms)
= 62.8579 volts
The relay has to be set at Is = 0.1 In for maximum sensitivity
The stabilizing resistor shall be set at value of resistance during fault minus the relay resistance

= 62.85 - 1 VA
0.1 (0.1) Square
= 628.5 - 100
R = 528.5 ohms
A standard Copper cable of X section of 2.5 sq. mm. has a resistance of 9.5 Ohm/km.
So, for 50 m length the resistance shall be 9.5*0.05=0.475 Ohm.
