what are the reasons of CT circuit faulty in busbar protection scheme?..

Answer / Vishal Prayani

Faults in current transformer (CT) circuits in a busbar protection system can occur due to several reasons:

1. Winding faults: This includes open turns, short-circuits, and turn-to-turn faults within the CT winding. These faults usually result from manufacturing or installation errors, overvoltage, or thermal stress.

2. Core saturation: If a current transformer is subjected to excessive current, its magnetic core may become saturated, leading to incorrect transformation ratio and malfunctioning of the protection system.

3. Misalignment: Improper alignment between the CT primary and secondary circuits can cause measurement errors and ultimately lead to faulty operation of the protection scheme.

4. Ageing: As with any electrical equipment, current transformers degrade over time due to environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and mechanical stress. This degradation can result in inaccurate readings and system malfunction.

5. Connection issues: Faulty connections between the CT and other components of the protection scheme can cause errors and misinterpretations, leading to incorrect operation.

1 Answers   TCS,


We have a 33/11kv switchyard having 12.5 MVA power transformer. We export & import power through this transformer. When we export power, the PF will be depend on GRID PF & when we import power the PF will be depend on our load PF. but the problem is that,when neither we export nor import but our 33KV vCB is in close position,our meter read the power factor 0.14 to 0.25 at that moment. So how can be we improve the power factor at that moment.
