Overview
EN 61869-4:2014 (IEC 61869-4:2013) - Instrument transformers - Part 4: Additional requirements for combined transformers - is the European adoption of the IEC product standard that governs combined instrument transformers (a current transformer and an inductive voltage transformer in the same enclosure). It applies to newly manufactured combined transformers for electrical measuring instruments and protective devices at frequencies from 15 Hz to 100 Hz. EN 61869-4:2014 supplements EN/IEC 61869-1, -2 and -3 and replaces the older EN 60044-3.
Key topics and technical requirements
EN 61869-4:2014 focuses on the specific behaviors, tests and limits that arise when current and inductive voltage transformers are combined in a single unit. Core elements include:
- Definitions specific to combined units (for example: combined instrument transformer, voltage error with disconnected CT, phase displacement definitions).
- Design, ratings and construction requirements that adapt Part 1/2/3 provisions to combined assemblies.
- Mutual influence: normative Annex 4A addresses how the current transformer (CT) magnetic field and rated thermal current can induce voltages in the co-located voltage transformer (VT), and how this affects accuracy.
- Accuracy and error metrics: ratio error, phase displacement and the concepts of greatest variation of voltage error and phase displacement due to induced voltages.
- Tests and type/acceptance testing: Part 4 adds tests (see Clause 7 and Table 10) and measurement procedures tailored to combined transformers, including measurements illustrated by error diagrams and measurement figures.
- Safety and environmental considerations: alignment with low-voltage directive (LVD) objectives and rules for transport, storage, erection, operation and maintenance.
Applications and users
EN 61869-4 is essential for anyone specifying, manufacturing, testing or procuring combined instrument transformers used in:
- Power utilities (metering and protective relaying)
- Transformer and switchgear manufacturers
- Testing and calibration laboratories
- Specifiers and procurement teams writing technical tender or compliance documents
- Certification bodies and compliance engineers ensuring conformity with EN/IEC instrument transformer families
Practical benefits include improved measurement accuracy in combined devices, reduced interference risk between CT and VT sections, and consistent test/acceptance criteria for procurement and type approval.

Part 4: Additional requirements for combined transformers
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This International Standard IEC 61869-4 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 38:
Instrument transformers.
This standard replaces IEC 60044-3: Combined transformers.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

transformers first edition (2012) and IEC 61869-3, Additional requirements for inductive
voltage transformers first edition (2011) – however, the reader is encouraged to use the most
recent edition of these documents.
This Part 4 follows the structure of IEC 61869-1, IEC 61869-2 and IEC 61869-3 and
supplements or modifies its corresponding clauses.
When a particular subclause of Part 1, 2 or 3 is not mentioned in this Part 4, that subclause
applies as far as is reasonable. When this standard states “addition”, “modification” or
“replacement”, the relevant text in Part 1, 2 or 3 is to be adapted accordingly.
For additional clauses, subclauses, figures, tables, annexes or notes, the following numbering
system is used:
– clauses, subclauses, tables and figures that are numbered starting from 401 are additional
to those in Part 1, 2 or 3;
