Dear All,
In a 400V power system, ratio of three current transformers
installed incoming switchgear is 4000/1. Maximum three
phases short circuit current of this system is 48kA. One CT
is installed on neutral of upstream transformer (6/0.42kV,
solidly earthed) for 51G protection. Would you please inform
me about the correct CT ratio of this current transformer
(on neutral)??
Thanks a million

The maximum earth fault current occurs when the phase comes
in contact with the earthed metal part.That will be about
230/0.5 i.e. about 500 A ,ignoring impedance of tr and
taking ER as 0.5 ohms.It is the usual practice to set EFR at
20% of OCR setting.For REFR the CT ratio should be the same
as that of phases.You can have a 2 core 4000:1 NCT and set
the 51G at 0.1 to 0.2 In ,using one of the two secondaries.
