MT 40 - TC 38/MT 40

IEC TR 61869-100:2017(E) is applicable to inductive protective current transformers meeting the requirements of the IEC 61869-2 standard.
It may help relay manufacturers, CT manufacturers and project engineers to understand how a CT responds to simplified or standardized short circuit signals. Therefore, it supplies advanced information to comprehend the definition of inductive current transformers as well as their requirements.
The document aims to provide information for the casual user as well as for the specialist. Where necessary, the level of abstraction is mentioned in the document. It also discusses the question about the responsibilities in the design process for current transformers.

IEC 61869-2:2012 is applicable to newly manufactured inductive current transformers for use with electrical measuring instruments and/or electrical protective devices having rated frequencies from 15 Hz to 100 Hz. This International Standard cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60044-1, published in 1996, and its Amendment 1 (2000) and Amendment 2 (2002), and the first edition of IEC 60044-6, published in 1992. Additionally it introduces technical innovations in the standardization and adaptation of the requirements for current transformers for transient performance.
This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61869-1:2007.
