The “C” Class rating of a protection CT is usually shown next to the CT ratio on drawings and performance charts, and is a value in volts. For example, a CT labeled “600:5 C100” has a ratio N = 30 (600/5) and a “C” rating of 100 volts. Keywords: CT MODEL, CT SATURATION, DIFFERENTIAL SLOPE, BLACK START, CT RATIO. Modern relays often have algorithms that enhance the security of elements that are otherwise susceptible to current transformer (CT) saturation. Current transformers for protection relays, as opposed to those use strictly for metering purposes, have an IEEE standard classification. There are two.
