3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions in GB 20840.1-2010 apply with the following additions:
3.1 General definitions
3.1.201
current transformer
instrument transformer in which the secondary current, under normal conditions of use, is substantially proportional to the primary current and differs in phase from it by an angle which is approximately zero for an appropriate direction of the connections
[GB/T 2900.15-1997, definition 3.4.5]
3.1.202
measuring current transformer
current transformer intended to transmit an information signal to measuring instruments and meters
[GB/T 2900.15-1997, definition 3.4.8, modified]
3.1.203
protective current transformer
a current transformer intended to transmit an information signal to protective and control devices
[GB/T 2900.15-1997, definition 3.4.7, modified]
3.1.204
class P protective current transformer
protective current transformer without remanent flux limit, for which the saturation behaviour in the case of a symmetrical short circuit is specified
3.1.205
class PR protective current transformer
protective current transformer with remanent flux limit, for which the saturation behaviour in the case of a symmetrical short circuit is specified
3.1.206
class PX protective current transformer
protective current transformer of low-leakage reactance without remanent flux limit for which knowledge of the secondary excitation characteristic and of the secondary winding resistance, secondary burden resistance and turns ratio, is sufficient to assess its performance in relation to the protective relay system with which it is to be used
3.1.207
class PXR protective current transformer
protective current transformer with remanent flux limit for which knowledge of the excitation characteristic and of the secondary winding resistance, secondary burden resistance and turns ratio, is sufficient to assess its performance in relation to the protective relay system with which it is to be used
Note 201: An increasingly number of situations occurs where direct current components are continuously flowing through current transformers. Therefore, in order to stop the current transformer from saturating, current transformers with air gaps, but with the same performance as class PX, are used.
Note 202: The air gaps for remanence reduction do not necessarily lead to a high-leakage reactance current transformer (see Annex 2C).
