Welcome to our in-depth video on selecting the appropriate Current Transformers (CTs) for active power quality solutions! 🌟
Video Outline
In this video, we guide you through the critical steps involved in selecting the right CTs for measuring currents in power quality projects. Understanding these steps is essential for ensuring accurate detection of harmonic and reactive power components in real-time.
Key Topics Covered:
Introduction to Current Transformers (CTs) in Power Quality Solutions:
Explanation of the role of CTs in measuring currents and detecting harmonic and reactive power components.
Step-by-Step Guide to Selecting CTs:
Step 1: Understand System Voltage Level and Maximum Load Current
Ensure the insulation level of the CT matches or exceeds the system voltage (e.g., 400V, 690V, 10kV).
Example: For a system with a maximum load current of 500A, the CT must be rated to cover this range.
Step 2: Determine the CT's Turns Ratio
Explanation of the CT turns ratio (primary-side current to secondary-side current).
Common turns ratios: 100:5, 200:5, 400:5, etc.
How to set the turns ratio on the AHF (or SVG) HMI.
Step 3: Consider the Accuracy of the CT
Importance of CT accuracy in measuring current.
Common accuracy levels: 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 (corresponding to errors of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1.0%).
Recommendation: Select 0.5 class or higher accuracy for power quality projects.
Step 4: Check the Rated Load of the CT
Ensure the rated load meets the requirements of the total impedance of the secondary (impedance when the secondary current is 5A ≥ 5VA).
Practical Example:
Example selection for a power quality project with system voltage 400V and maximum load current 400A.
Typical selection: 400V, 500:5 turns ratio, 0.5 accuracy class, 5VA CT.
Importance of Accurate CT Selection:
How accurate CT selection impacts the performance and reliability of power quality solutions.
Ensuring effective harmonic and reactive power detection for optimal system performance.
