WHAT HAPPENS IN DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION IF CT REACHES ITS KNEE VOLTAGE POINT?..

Answer / rukmagoud

Differential protection requires two cts for its connection.
If one of the CT reaches its Knee point voltage , then the
CT Enters into Saturation. so when Ct is in Saturation
state, its characteristic changes, i.e the current will
not be proportional to primary current thereby
differential current comes into picture in differential
relay , there by there is a chance of maloperation of relay.
This usually comes when there is any through fault.

WHAT HAPPENS IN DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION IF CT REACHES ITS KNEE VOLTAGE POINT?..

Answer / tony

Normally the knee point voltage must be

Vk > 2*Vs

Where Vs is the calculated max. voltage appears across the relay.

Beyond knee point the chara of CT is no longer proportional to the primary current and this cause faulty measuring by relay.Thus if we have higher Vk we can easily with stand higher Vs(fault equivalent seen by relay)
