how current transformer can be used to measure largr RF current?
Answers
Answer:
Rating factor (RF) is a term, which applies to a current transformer.
In its application to a current transformer, it is the number
representing the amount by which the primary load current may
be increased over its nameplate rating without exceeding the
allowable temperature rise. In other words, it is a designation of
the transformer’s overload capability. In order to be completely
meaningful, the ambient temperature at which the rating factor
applies should be stated. The standard ambient reference levels
are at 30°C or 55°C. In the manufacturer’s literature, a typical
statement would be: RF 2.0 at 30°C ambient with RF 1.5 at 55°C
ambient. These statements mean that in a 30°C ambient, the CT
will safely carry on a continuous basis 2 times the nameplate rating
and at 55°C ambient, it will carry 1.5 times the nameplate rating.
It is very important that the ambient temperature be considered
when applying CT’s above the rating. Typical rating factors of CT’s
are 1.0, 1.25, 1.33, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0.
Many times the manufacturer will only list the CT rating factor at
30°C ambient (room temperature). If you wish to know what the
rating factor is at some other ambient temperature, you will have
to convert the value by use of a rather simple proportional equation.
Following is a typical example:
