7. CURRENT TRANSFORMER

The following are the tests to be conducted for a current transformer.

• Insulation Resistance Test.

• Winding Resistance Test.
• Polarity Test.
• Knee point Test
• Ratio Test
• Primary Injection Test
• Insulation Resistance Test :

To know the insulation value of CT windings. We will be applying primary to Earth 5kv for 60
seconds, primary to secondary 2.5 kv for 60 seconds & secondary to Earth 1000v for 60
seconds.

Winding Resistance Test, Polarity Test, Knee Point Voltage Test and Ratio Tests are carried
out with equipment named CT Analyzer.

The following are the basic wiring for a CT Analyzer to perform the above
mentioned Tests,

1. Connect the CT Analyzer’s equipotential terminal to protective earth (PE).

2. Make sure that the primary side of the CT is connected to PE on one side and
open on the other side.
3. Disconnect all the secondary windings of the CT in order to remove any load from
the CT. Every kind of load remaining on the secondary side of the CT during
measurement leads to incorrect measurement results or error messages.
4. Connect the black socket of CT Analyzer input "Prim" to the grounded side of the
CT’s primary circuit and the red socket of this input to the open (ungrounded) side.
5. Connect the black "Output" socket and the black socket of input "Sec" of the CT
Analyzer to that terminal on the secondary side of the CT that is connected to PE.
6. Connect the red "Output" socket and the red socket of input "Sec" of the CT
Analyzer to the other (ungrounded) terminal on the secondary side of the

attached with assessements.

• Primary Injection Test :

To verify the ratio error of the CT this test is performed with help of primary injection kit. Inject
the current through P1- P2 (primary of CT Terminals) and measure the corresponding
secondary side output current and calculate the ratio error from actual and measured values.
Also Measure the relay side and meter side check the status.

8. OVER CURRENT AND EARTH FAULT RELAY TEST (Secondary Injection Test)

Pick up test :

Set TMS to 0.1 and plug setting to the desired value. Inject the current above than the
plug setting value and note down the disc starting & closing currents. Starting current
should be in the range of 102 % -105 % and closing current should be in the range of
105% to 120%.

If any error this should be adjusted with the spring provided at bottom of the relay disc
the relay.

The same procedure is followed for earth fault pick up test also.

PHASE OVER CURRENT TIMING TEST:

With desired current plug setting TMS 0.1 the tripping time should be Measured
for 2 Is value and 5 Is value. For normal inverse curve 2 times of fault current the
tripping time should be 10 seconds at TMS 1.0 For 5 times of fault current the tripping
time should be 4.4 seconds at TMS 1.0.
