How can you calculate in detail the VA burden of current
transformer used for Restricted earth fault protection?
Please understand that the CT required here is Class PX or
X. Also please show the calculations for knee point vtg,
stabilizing resistor, magnetising current.

Knee Point voltage is nothing but a point at which the CT
saturates. Thats why its always better to design the CTs
which can operate without saturation even at a voltage
appears in the CT during fault condition. Pls find below
the following formula for calculating the Knee point
voltage.
Vk=2If(Rct+2Rl).
where, If is the current refected to the CT secondary
during fault condition,
Rct is the resistance of the CT which can be adopted by
means of a thumb rule considering the CT ratio,
Rl is the lead resistance i.e. sum of the resistance of the
wire connected between the relay & CT and Impedance offered
by the internal circuitary of the relay
For PS class CT's designed considering the above,burden is
not applicable.

Restricted earth fault protection is a differential scheme,
with CTs on the transformer neutral and phase leads. The
phase CTs are connected together in parallel & then
paralleled with the neutral CT. The resticted earth fault
(REF) relay is connected across the paralled CT circuits.
The relay is either a voltage operated device (eg Alstom
MFAC14)or a current relay with an external setting resistor
(eg Alstom MCAG14). In either case, the scheme is set at a
voltage based on the maximum voltage that is developed at
the relay for an external fault. A practical setting is
50% of the CT knee point voltage, if full info is not
available.

For PX class CTs , the burden is not normally mentioned .
There the CT is defiened based on the CT kneepoint
voltage , magnetising current etc . The burden is mentioned
in class P CTs
In PX class CTs the kneepoint voltage is normally based on
the max fault current and a diamensioning factor based on
system X/R ratio

FOR 16/20 MVA 132/33 KV ONAN/ONAF TYPE TRANSFORMER IT IS DESIGNED FOR 16 MVA WITH ONAN CONDITION.IT BECOMES 20 MVA UNDER ONAF CONDITION.LOAD LOSS IS GUARANTEED FOR 65KW AT 20 MVA AND % IMPEDANCE 13.75. PLEASE TELL US AT WHAT LOAD LOSS AND % IMPEDANCE IT SHOULD BE DESIGNED FOR 16 MVA AND WHAT WILL BE ITS EFFICIENCY AT 20 MVA?

how will i find Transformer rating if supply voltage is 11k.v and how will i find incomer if transformer rating is 12MVA
I have 800 Amps MG Fix type breaker It is in on line & it has been given only UV (under voltage)coil connection for tripping purpose.now it is not working properly means its getting tripp so how can i replace it or how can i rectify the problem without destrubing my load??????????
