This paper describes a compact Iron-cored Electronic Current Transformer(ECT) based on IEC 61850. The ECT developed in this study has the feature of designing the current transformer with a compact iron-core, compensating error due to the nonlinear characteristic of Iron-core, and applying IEC 61850 9-2 for sampled value(SMV). We verify the performance of the innovative product developed in the study in KERI and test the performance of digital communication in the lab.

In general the starting current of single phase induction motor is 3 to 6times of the rated current It make flickering an electric lamp, dispersion a TV screen, insulation destructing an electric motor and momentary blazing of house wiring. Thus it happens losing an electric power loss and reducing an efficiency and a life of home electrical apparatus. In this paper, we proposed the method of reducing staring current with 3.7(%) using TRIAC and ACCT(alternated current transformer) in order to improve the above problem And also we verified semipermanent system with using semiconductor element.

This paper proposes a compensating algorithm of a measurement torrent transformer (CT) using DSP. The core flux is calculated and then magnetizing current is estimated in accordance with the flux-magnetizing current curve. The core loss current is obtained with the core loss resistance and the secondary voltage. The correct secondary current is estimated by adding the exciting current to the measured secondary current. The performance of the proposed algorithm was tested using EMTP generated data. The experiment on the real CT was conducted using the prototype compensated system based on a digital signal processor. The results indicate that the algorithm can increase the accuracy of the measurement CT significantly.

This paper presents leakage magnetic field and leakage inductance calculations in current transformer by means of 3-D Integral methods. From the distribution diagram of leakage magnetic flux to be analyzed using program called TRACAL3, it confirms a parallel to the winding axis direction of the leakage flux lines in the air gap between the windings. The leakage inductances L$\sub$r1/ and L$\sub$R2/ of the primary and secondary windings were calculated, their values are 4.23 mH and 0.49 mH, respectively. They are also similar to the measured values of the leakage inductances for the experimental verification, 4.06 mH and 0.47 mH.

A conventional variable percentage current differential relaying algorithm for bus protection may misoperate for external faults with severe CT saturation and internal faults with high impedance. This paper proposes a percentage differential current relaying algorithm for bus protection combined with a compensating algorithm of secondary currents of CTs. Even though CTs are saturated and their secondary currents are severely distorted, the proposed relaying algorithm does not only misoperate for external faults with CT saturation but also detects the internal faults with high fault impedance. Thus, the method improves the sensitivity of the relays and does not require any counterplan for CT saturation.

Current transformers(CTs) whose rating is selected per a full load current of a feeder in high voltage system can be easily saturated due to high fault current that may be several hundred times of the full load current of the feeder. However, the protective relay shall operate properly at the fault without mis-operation under the CT saturation. So, in selecting the CT rating, it is necessary to consider the behaviour of CT and a performance of protection scheme in condition where CT can be saturated. In this paper, a performance of CT and a degree of saturation are studied and verified whether its ratings are proper for the operation of the protective relay.

This paper presents an algorithm for detecting current transformer (CT) saturation. At the instants of beginning (or end) of saturation, as a magnetizing inductance of the core is changed significantly, the shapes of the secondary current are also changed significantly though secondary currents are continuous the instants. At the instants, the second-order of third-order difference of the secondary current has big values. Thus, the third difference of the current is used to detect the beginning/end of CT saturation in this paper. If the magnitude of third-order difference of the secondary current is larger than a threshold value, the CT begins of ends saturation at the instants. The proposed detection method is unaffected by the amount of residual flux. The results of various tests with residual flux from -80% to +80% indicate satisfactory performance of the method.

The current flowing though a power line is measured by a current transformer (CT). Since a CT is a kind of transformer, saturation of magnetic flux in the core may occur when a large primary current flows. This saturation makes the secondary current of a CT distorted and causes problems in the protection point of view. Because of the current distortion, a protection relay cannot collect the correct information showing how the primary power system changed. Consequently, the current distortion may cause the mal-operation or operation time delay of protective relay. In this paper, an algorithm based on AR model and LSQ is proposed to compensate the saturated CT secondary currents. Various test results indicate that the proposed algorithm can accurately compensate a severely distorted secondary current and is not affected by remanence.

This paper proposes a percentage current differential relaying algorithm for bus protection using an advanced compensation algorithm of the secondary current of CTs. A percentage current differential relaying algorithm may maloperate in case of external faults with CT saturation. Thus, it needs an additional method to cope with CT saturation. The advanced compensation algorithm is unaffected by a remanent flux. The proposed relaying algorithm does not need any additional methods for CT saturation and is unaffected by the remanent flux and has the wide operating zone of current differential relays.

This paper proposes an advanced compensating algorithm of the secondary current of CTs. The exiting compensating algorithm for the current transformers calculates magnetic flux using the magnetization curve. In such a case, it is difficult to compensate for distorted secondary current when a remanent flux exists in a core at the beginning of the calculation. To make up for the drawback in the existing compensating algorithm, the algorithm detects the instant of saturation using difference of the secondary current and estimates flux at the instant of the beginning of the first saturation. After that, the algorithm calculates flux and compensates for distorted secondary current.
