A.4.4
Core Balance Current Transformer
General
The requirements for core balance current transformers are determined by the function „sensitive ground fault
detection“.
The recommendations are given according to the standard IEC 60044-1.

Select the primary rated current of the core balance current transformer so that
ground current flowing in the ground fault of the subnetwork is transmitted by the
core balance current transformer.
Transmission ratio, typical
Depending on the specific power system and the magnitude of the maximum
ground fault current, a different ratio may have to be selected.
