Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to the excess of the permissible errors of current transformers in transient short-circuit modes associated with saturation of the cores of current transformers. The latter leads to improper operation of relay protection devices, which can negatively affect the stability of electric power systems and the efficiency of industrial enterprises with a continuous technological cycle, the power failure of which leads to significant economic damage. The aim of this work is to study the parameters of electric power systems that affect the saturation of the cores of current transformers with a closed magnetic circuit in transient short-circuit modes. The object of research is electromagnetic current transformers of accuracy class 10P in electric power systems. The study was carried out using numerical methods for solving algebraic and differential equations, methods of computer modeling of electromagnetic transient processes and functional programming. As a result, the main parameters influencing the nature and intensity of electromagnetic transients in current transformers during a short circuit are noted; it is shown that in transient short-circuit modes, significant errors in the operation of current transformers associated with core saturation are possible; recommended for assessing the compliance of current transformers of accuracy classes 5P, 10P with the conditions for the correct functioning of relay protection devices in transient short-circuit modes, to calculate the time to saturation of current transformers, taking into account the real parameters of the electric power system at the place where current transformers are installed, in addition to the traditional design checking of current transformers by permissible er-rors for the steady state short circuit.
