Redefining the Test Limits

Traditionally, CT accuracy is tested at:

  • 10% of rated current (light load)
  • 100% of rated current (full load)
  • With a rating factor between 1.0 and 4.0.

With GE Vernova Encompass CT’s, the 0.3 accuracy class is extended by changing the test points to:

  • 4% of rated current (light load)
  • 40% of rated current (full load)
  • With a typical rating factor of 4.0       
Standard CT Test Limits

Standard CT Test Limits

Wide Range Designed for CL20 Meter

A rating factor of 4.0 means the Current Transformer meets rated accuracy at up to 4 times the rated primary current. Thus, the output on a 5 Amp CT secondary can be used up to 20 Amps if a rating factor of 4.0 is assigned to the CT (4.0*5A = 20A). This pairs the CT output range and the Meter input range when used with a CL20 transformer rated meter, maximizing the performance potential of the system.

Results and Benefits

The 4% and 40% test points in combination with a high rating factor of 4.0 means 1 Encompass CT can equal or better the performance of both higher AND lower ratios.

The 500:5 Encompass unit when compared to a 200:5 standard CT has equal to or better test results at all points included even low currents and is available at an equivalent price. This comparison holds true across several other standard CT ratios, meaning one Encompass CT can functionally replace up to eight other standard ratios, allowing for an inventory reduction of up to nearly 90%.

To demonstrate the advantages of upgrading to an Encompass CT, 
let’s compare a JAK-0W 500:5 Encompass CT to a JAK-0C 200:5 standard CT

Physically, the JAK-0W 500:5 Encompass CT:

  • Is lighter
  • Has the exact same mounting plate
  • Has the exact same terminal locations
  • Has the exact same window size

 

Electrically, the accuracy of a JAK-0W 500:5 is equivalent or better than the accuracy of a JAK-0C 200:5 across all test points. This can be looked at two ways:

A 500:5 Encompass CT has ±0.3% accuracy from 200A to 2000A, compared to a standard 200:5 CT which has a ±0.3% accuracy from 200A to only 800A. Both CT’s have ±0.6% accuracy from 20A to 200A.

encompass_compare_02

The 500:5 Encompass CT has equal to or better accuracy rating across the entire 20A to 2000A range. It is important to note that accuracy class only defines the “tolerance of error” allowed in a CT. Actual test results are also an important factor when evaluating CT’s. At a typical burden of B-0.1, the Encompass CT test results slightly outperform a standard CT, even at the lowest test amps. All Encompass test results are well within the IEEE limits.

The voltage on modern distribution circuits is becoming increasing difficult to manage. New distributed energy resources, such as solar, combined with the growth of sophisticated loads creates voltage challenges on distribution network systems. Existing voltage control devices cannot maintain a consistent voltage profile, especially when trying to manage the intermittency of these resources and loads.
