What is CBCT ? Why & Where it is used?

Answer Posted / abhishek singh

Core balance CT (CBCT): The CBCT, also known as a zero
sequence CT, is used for earth leakage and earth fault
protection. The concept is similar to the RVT. In the CBCT,
the three core cable or three single cores of a three phase
system pass through the inner diameter of the CT. When the
system is fault free, no current flows in the secondary of
the CBCT. When there is an earth fault, the residual current
(zero phase sequence current) of the system flows through
the secondary of the CBCT and this operates the relay. In
order to design the CBCT, the inner diameter of the CT, the
relay type, the relay setting and the primary operating
current need to be furnished.

I have one ct of ratio 3000-2000/1 Amp its knee point voltage mentioned on name plate is 500-333/30mA-50mA at Vk/2. in secondary box there is three terminal named 1S1, 1S2, 1S3 then on which terminal obtained the knee point voltage ie 1S1-1S2 OR 1S1-1S3 & also specify the knee point voltage for the ratio 3000 from name plate.

I have a current transformer with 1 main reading meter with transformer outside the building and a control panel having 5 CT reading meters with black round coils inside the building. I want to know, A) when current pass through the Transformers, will the current be reduced or be the same and after that B) when current pass through the CT meters with black round coils, will the current be reduced or be the same. C) in the above process will the reading of the main meter be same or different, from the total reading of all the 5 CT meters.
