STABILISING VOLTAGE CALCULATION:
If=full load current/trafo impedence - Refer page no-10 in manual
=787.3/0.135
=5831.85/800
=7.29 A
Vs>7.29(3.2+0.461) (R ct-3.2 ohm, 2RL-0.461)
>26.68V
KNEE POINT VOLTAGE SELECTION:
Vk>2Vs - Refer page no-10 in manual
>2*26.68=53.36V
CT MAGANATISING CURRENT CALCULATION:
Ie=Vs*Im at Vk/2 / Vk/2 (V K-300V,IM-40mA at VK/2)
=26.68*0.04/(300/2)=0.0071A
Ie-magnatising current of CT
PRIMARY OPREATING CURRENT CALCULATION:
Ip=N (Ir+n*Ie) - Refer page no-10 in manual
=800(0.1+4*0.0071)=102.72A (I r-set current-10%)
Ip-opreating primary current
STABILISING RESISTOR CALCULATION:
Rst=Vs-(VA/Ir)/Ir - Refer page no-10 in manual
=26.68-(1/0.1)/0.1
=166.8 ohm
RELAY IMPEDANCE CALCULATION:
Rr=VA/I2
=1/0.12
=100 ohm
FAULT VOLTAGE CALCULATION:
Vf=7.29*(3.2+0.461+166.8+100)
=1971.6V
PEAK VOLTAGE CALCULATION:
Vp=2*(2Vk(Vf-Vk))0.5 - Refer page no-10 in manual
=2*(2*300(1971.6-300))0.5
=2002.9V
Metrosil is not recommended here.
MANUFACTURER REFERENCE:
When the maximum voltage which appears across the relay circuit on
internal faults exceeds 3000 volts peak a metrosil non-linear resistor must be
fitted across the relay and the stabilizing resistor.
The metrosil should be chosen so that the current at the voltage setting of
the relay is less than 30mA for a 1 amp and 100mA for 5 amp current
transformers.
At the maximum secondary internal fault current the metrosil cut-off point
should not be greater than 1500 volts rms or 2120 volts peak.
