Understanding CTs and PTs in SLD

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the counting and specifications of current transformers (CTs) and potential transformers (PTs) in a system. It clarifies that measurement CTs differ from protection CTs, with the latter needing to handle higher currents without saturation, resulting in larger cores. The notation for CTs indicates the number and configuration, such as Delta or Wye. The user inquires about the difference between two specific CTs, noting one has four cores while the other has one core. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for proper application in protection and measurement contexts.

Hi friends,

i have quires that i can't count the CTs and PTs in the SLD. how many CTs for Protection and how many for Measuring or Metering and what is P2 means ?

No idea on the P1 and P2 -- Point 1/Point 2 - for Polarity of the CTs is my only guess - since the polarity is "into" the HV side of the transfomer.

The CT notation is #/ CTs and # / wires - you can wire three CTs in a Delta ( 3 wires out ) or a Wye (4 wires out).

The measurement CTs (3) have a different spec than the protection CTs - because for measurement the accuracy in the nominal current range is most important - for the protection CTs they may need to provide accurate output at higher then nominal current ( 3 or more x) so the Protection CTs are typically heavier - larger core to prevent saturation at higher currents. I would consider the differential CTs part of the protection - but you do want them dedicated to the differential circuit to prevent errors.

Thanks alot,

if i have 02 CTs

one is 1600:800:400/1
0.2FS5/5P20/5P20/5P20
15(10)(5)VA/30VA/30VA/30VA2nd is

0.2FS5
15(10)VA 800:400:200/1A

then what is the difference , one is 04 cores and 2nd is 01 core ? right ?
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
