Factors influencing CT saturation and its implications on Distance Protection Scheme-Analysis and Testing. 2021 74th Conference for Protective Relay Engineers (CPRE). :1–11.

2021. The behavior of the Current Transformer (CTs) is of utmost importance for protection engineers to ensure reliable operation of power system. CT magnetic saturation is a well-known phenomenon when analyzing its performance characteristics. Nevertheless, transient conditions in the system might be different every time. A good understanding of the magnetic saturation of different CT designs and the effect of saturation on the protection schemes is imperative for developing a robust and dependable protection system. In this paper, various factors that affect CT saturation like X/R ratio, large current magnitudes, DC offset, burden and magnetization remanence are discussed. Analysis of CT saturation based on changes to burden and remanence is performed. In addition to that, the effect of saturation due to these factors on distance protection are presented with test results and analysis. Saturation conditions are analyzed on mho distance elements during phase to ground and three phase faults. Finally, a practical approach to efficiently test the performance of protection schemes under CT saturation conditions is proposed using COMTRADE play back. COMTRADE play back files for various scenarios of CT saturation conditions are generated and used for testing the performance of the protection scheme.
Improvement of a Current Transformer Model based on the Jiles-Atherton Theory. 2019 IEEE PES GTD Grand International Conference and Exposition Asia (GTD Asia). :495–499.

2019. An improved current transformer model (CT) developed in DIgSILENT™ is presented in this paper. The hysteresis characteristics of magnetic material described by Jiles-Atheron theory are included. The results show that model can represent the saturation and remanence characteristics of CT core accurately. The model accuracy is verified by comparing the simulation results with PSCAD/EMTDC™.
