18.1.7 Current transformer requirements for CTs according to other
standards
All kinds of conventional magnetic core CTs are possible to use with the IEDs if they
fulfill the requirements corresponding to the above specified expressed as the rated
equivalent limiting secondary e.m.f. E
al
according to the IEC 61869-2 standard. From
different standards and available data for relaying applications it is possible to
approximately calculate a secondary e.m.f. of the CT comparable with E
al
. By comparing
this with the required rated equivalent limiting secondary e.m.f. E
alreq
it is possible to
judge if the CT fulfills the requirements. The requirements according to some other
standards are specified below.
