Figure 281:
Equivalent circuit in case of the CT saturation at through-fault
The CT saturation happens most likely in the case of an in-zone fault. This
is not a problem, because although the operation remains stable (non-
operative) during the saturated parts of the CT secondary current
waveform, the non-saturated part of the current waveform causes the
protection to operate.

Figure 282:
Secondary waveform of a saturated CT
The secondary circuit voltage can easily exceed the isolation voltage of the CTs,
connection wires and the protection relay because of the stabilizing resistance and CT
saturation. A voltage dependent resistor (VDR, R
u
) is used to limit the voltage as shown in
.
