    Abstract

    Regular calibration of the Instrument Transformers (ITs) is very essential for the accurate measurementof power and energy at high voltages. ITs are also used in the measurement of high currents & highvoltages at power frequencies. The nominal transformation of an IT depends only on the number ofturns of its windings but due to various losses there are always errors in the Instrument Transformers'ratios. The correct knowledge of their errors requires calibrations of the ITs. In this paper the methodsused in calibrating the Current Transformers (CTs) & Potential Transformers (PTs) and the requiredaccuracy have been discussed.

    1. Introduction

    AC ratio measurements play a vital role in the

    power/ energy metering as well as in the developmentof good quality electrical products. For this, oneessentially requires a laboratory in every electricalgoods manufacturing company which is equippedwith the precision type AC ratio measuringinstruments along with other instruments [1]. Metersinstalled for billing purposes determine the quantumof revenues received by electrical authorities. Themeasurement of power and energy does not form thesubject of the present paper, yet it is relevant and usefulto mention that in the metering of electrical energy theinstrument transformers i.e. the current and voltagetransformers are widely used. The determination ofthe corresponding ratio errors and phasedisplacement in CTs & PTs is carried out NationalPhysical Laboratory, India. It is the statutaryresponsibility of NPLI to maintain the NationalStandards of all parameters [2-7].

    3. Demagnetization

    To ensure reliable calibration, currenttransformers / voltage transformers should not haveany residual magnetization in the core. Generally thedemagnetization is a simple and quick process which

    makes certain that no residual magnetic flux exists inthe core.

    Adopting the already laid down proceduresensures the demagnetization of the CT/VT.

    4. Polarity Check

    The calibration of the instrument transformers is

    conducted by comparison method [10], which isbasically a relative method. In this method the ratioerror and phase angle error of the CT / VT under testare determined by comparing it against the ReferenceStandard CT / VT having the same nominal ratio. If

    the balance in the CTTS / VTTS comes within theexpected values of the ratio error and the phase angleerror, then the polarity checking is automatically done.If the CTTS/VTTS goes "into the maximum of thereadings" condition or out of the balance, then it isconsidered that the polarity mismatch is there betweenthe CT / VT and the CT / VT Under Test. To bring thecorrect balanced condition the secondary terminalsof the test CT / VT or of the Std. CT / VT areinterchanged. By this method the polarity check ofthe CT / VT is accomplished.

    5. Burden Selection

    The process of selecting and setting the burdenfor CT / VT under calibration must be completed priorto calibration. The customer specifies the burden orthe burden requirement is seen from the 'Name Plate'.The selection of the burden as per the requirement ismade in the required burden box. The burden isconnected in series in case of CT calibration and inparallel in case of VT calibration. The Digital PowerMeter does the accurate determination of the burdenincluding the contribution from the leads.

    Care should be taken in selecting the burden for

    calibration of the current / voltage transformers. Ifthe secondary output of the CT is 1A or 5A then theburden box should be of 1A or 5A rating. If thesecondary output of the VT is 110V then the burdenbox shall be of 110V rating and if it is of 110/3Vsecondary output then the burden box shall be of110/3V rating. The proper burden is seldomachieved in the first setting from the measurementsindicated by Digital Power Meter. The amount ofburden is adjusted with the help of the burden boxand the lengths of the connecting leads and theburden measurement process is again repeated.Usually after a few iterations the proper value isobtained. The final value of the measured burden isrecorded.

    6. Precautions

    1. Current Comparator secondary terminals shallbe short circuited in off condition.

    2. All the power equipment shall be earthed

    31

    properly.

    3. The humidity and temperature shall bemaintained as per the calibration requirements.

    4. All the connections shall be tight.

    7. Traceability

    In order to ensure that the measurementtraceability of the equipments being used as ReferenceStandards and other auxiliary instruments are withinthe specified limits of uncertainty, therefore, they mustbe linked up with higher accuracy standards at theNational and International Level. Our measurementtraceability lies with PTB, Germany.

    8. Calibration of Current Transformers (CTs)

    8.1 Principle

    The accurate and precise calibration of CurrentTransformers (CT) is accomplished by comparisonmethod i.e. by comparing the customer's currenttransformer to a Reference Standard CurrentTransformer (RSCT) [11, 12] known as CurrentComparator (CC) whose accuracy is so high that thecorrections to be applied are negligibly small. TheComparison Method basically relies on a calibratedCurrent Comparator nominally of the same ratio asthat of the current transformer under calibration. Asuitable Current Transformer Test Set (CTTS) [12] isused for this purpose to compare the output of the

    current transformer under calibration to that of theCurrent Comparator.

    8.2 Standards Used for Calibration

    Current Comparator: The standard used for thecalibration of current transformer [13], is a CurrentComparator having 155 standard ratios right fromthe lowest 5A/1A, 5A to the highest 5000A/1A, 5A.In order to avoid corrections it is again desirable tohave a Current Comparator whose errors arenegligibly small. The uncertainty of this referencestandard is 30ppm and phase displacementuncertainty is 0.1 min. The Current Comparator istraceable to PTB, Germany.

    8.3 Current Transformer Test Set (CTTS)

    For the determination of the errors of the currenttransformer under calibration, an AutomaticInstrument Transformer Test Set (AITTS) is commonlyrequired and is being used as a CTTS. The CTTS shall

    be capable to operate in the operating range from 1%to 200% of the rated secondary currents of 1A and 5Aat 50Hz. The CTTS must indicate the current ratioerror in % and the phase displacement error in minutesor centi-radians. The uncertainty of the CTTS is

    20ppm in ratio and 0.1 minutes in phasedisplacement. The AITTS is traceable to PTB,Germany.

    8.4 Support Equipment Required for Calibration

    A.C. Current Source: The A.C. High Current Sourceshould be able to supply the required current for theaccuracy test up to 120% (as per IS 2705, 1992) of thehighest rated current. Since the rated primary currentincludes a range of 5A to 1000A and some times evenup to 5000A, therefore, the current source should beprovided with tappings to allow the current to be

    adjusted to the required value. Our lab is equippedwith one current source of 5000AX3V

    To connect the current source to the CT and theCurrent Comparator a bifilar bus bar arrangement hasbeen chosen.

    8.5 Clamp Meter

    A clamp meter is an instrument up to 1000 Awhich is required in the lab for making measurementsof the flowing current in the conductors withoutbreaking the circuit. This instrument as such playsno role in the calibration process.

    8.6 Current Transformer Burden

    Standard burdens are required for the calibrationof current transformers as per IS 2705, 1992 and IEC60044-1:1996 The rated burdens which are normallyrequired are 2.5VA, 5VA, 7.5VA, 10VA, 15VA, 20VA,30VA, 40VA for the rated secondary currents of 1Aand 5A at a power factor of 0.8P.F. Lag.

    8.7 Cables

    Cables of different sizes and lengths are

    essentially required in the calibration of CTs.9. Methodology

    9.1 Inspection

    Up on the receipt of the Current Transformer froma customer the transformer is visually inspected. It isensured that no apparent damage has occurred in

    32

    the process of transportation. In case the damage isobserved then the customer is immediately notifiedthrough CFCT (Centre For Calibration & Testing) andthe necessary steps are taken for applying thecorrective action. Terminals' condition is also

    inspected carefully. If the terminals are not clean thenthe cleaning is done with the help of emery paper andsome cleaning agents like alcohol. If excessive oxideis present or corrosion is severe then the customer isintimated and the CT is returned un-calibrated. Repairsor major cleaning is normally not done by NPLI.

    Since differential comparison method is used theeffect of temperature variation on both the primaryand secondary windings of the under test get nullifiedand hence is not taken into account.

    10. Calibration Set-up & Procedure

    The schematic block diagram of the calibrationset-up in its simplest forms is shown in Fig. 1 forcurrent transformers.

    Before measurement first we select the currentaccording to the requirement of the customer in theCurrent Injection Set. After that we select theconductors of proper current rating. The secondaryterminals of the Current Comparator and Under TestCT should be selected according to the secondary

    current. Judicious selection is done of the currentrange on the Current Comparator and on the CT UnderTest. Before making connections we should see theburden of the CT Under Test on the nameplate or asper customer's requirement.

    The Current Comparator and the Under Test CTprimaries are connected in series. The secondaryterminals of the Current Comparator are connected tothe Standard port of the CTTS and the secondaryterminals of the Under Test CT are connected in serieswith the burden to the Test port of CTTS. Afterensuring that connections are proper, the calibrationis started.

    11. Voltage Transformers Calibration

    11.1 Principle

    The accurate and precise calibration of VoltageTransformers (VT) is accomplished by comparisonmethod i.e. by comparing the customer's Voltagetransformer to a Reference Standard VoltageTransformers (RSVT) whose accuracy is so high thatthe corrections to be applied are negligibly small. TheComparison Method basically relies on a calibratedVoltage Transformer nominally of the same ratio asthat of the Voltage Transformer under calibration. A

    suitable Voltage Transformer Test Set (VTTS) is usedfor this purpose to compare the output of the VoltageTransformers under calibration to that of the VoltageTransformer under calibration.

    11.2 Standards Used For Calibration

    Standard Voltage Transformer: The standardused for the calibration of voltage transformer isStandard Voltage Divider. It comprises of a CapacitiveVoltage Divider and an Electronic Device. In order toavoid corrections it is desirable to have a StandardVoltage Divider whose errors are negligibly small. Theuncertainty of this reference standard is 50ppm andphase displacement uncertainty is 0.2 minutes. TheStandard Voltage Divider is traceable to PTB, Germany.

    Voltage Transformer Test Set (VTTS): Regarding

    the calibration of Voltage Transformers (VT) it is alsoaccomplished by comparison method i.e. bycomparing the customer's Voltage Transformer to aHigh Voltage Ratio Measuring System (StandardVoltage Divider) which basically comprises theCapacitive Voltage Divider (CVD) C1/C2 and HighPrecision Electronic Voltage Divider (EVD) whoseaccuracy is so high that corrections need not to beapplied. The Comparison Method basically relies onthe calibrated voltage transformer i.e. in our case is aCVD and the Programmable EVD nominally of thesame ratio as that of the voltage transformer under

    calibration. A suitable Voltage Transformer Test Set(VTTS) is used for this purpose to compare the outputof the voltage transformer under calibration to that ofthe Standard Voltage Divider.

    11.3 Support Equipment Required for Calibration

    A.C. Voltage Source: The A.C. High Voltage Sourceshould be able to supply the required voltages for theaccuracy test up to 120% of the highest rated voltages.Two high voltage sources are available in our lab. Onesource is up to 50kV, 5000VA with digital indicationand the other source is 150kV, 10,000VA with

    analogue indication.

    Voltage Transformer Burden: Standard burdens arerequired for the calibration of voltage transformers asper IS 3156 and IEC 60044-2:1997. The rated burdens,which are normally required, are 2.5VA, 5VA, 7.5VA,10VA, 15VA, 20VA, 40VA for the rated secondary voltageof 110V and 110/ 3V at a power factor of 0.8P.F Lag.

    Cables : Proper taut wires are used for makingconnections to the primary side of Standard VoltageDivider and VT Under Test from the AC High VoltageSource. Proper flexible cables are used for thesecondary side connections to the voltage transformer

    Test Set.

    Environmental Conditions : The temperature of the labis maintained at (25 2) C and humidity (50 10) %.

    12. Methodology

    12.1 Inspection

    Up on the receipt of the Voltage Transformer froma customer the transformer is visually inspected. It isensured that no apparent damage has occurred inthe process of transportation. In case the damage is

    observed then the customer is immediately notifiedthrough CFCT (Centre For Calibration & Testing) andthe necessary steps are taken for applying thecorrective action. Terminals' condition is alsoinspected carefully. If the terminals are not clean thenthe cleaning is done with the help of emery paperand some cleaning agents like alcohol. If excessiveoxide is present or corrosion is severe then thecustomer is intimated and the VT is returned un-calibrated. Repairs or major cleaning is normally notdone by NPL.

    13. Calibration Set-up

    The schematic block diagram of the calibrationset-up in its simplest form is shown in Fig. 2 for voltagetransformers.

    In case of VT calibrations first we select the voltageaccording to the requirement of the customer in the

    Voltage Injection Set. The secondary terminals of the

    Standard Voltage Divider and Under Test VT should

    be selected according to the secondary voltage.

    Judicious selection is done of the voltage range on the

    Standard Voltage Divider and on the VT Under Test.

    Before making connections we should see the burdenof the VT Under Test on the nameplate or as per

    customer's requirement.

    The Standard Voltage Divider and Under Test

    VT primaries are connected in parallel. The

    secondary terminals of the Standard Voltage Divider

    are connected to the Standard port of the VTTS and

    14. Results with Uncertainty Budget for CT and VTCalibrations

    After the data has been collected and reviewed forconsistency, the averages of the current and voltageratio errors and the averages of phase displacementsare determined. Values of estimated measurementuncertainty at 50Hz are calculated as per theguidelines given in NABL 141 [14]. A sample

    calculations are given in the Annexures I - IV.

    15. Conclusion

    Instrument Transformers are widely used devicesin the electric power industries. They are relativelyinexpensive, but accurate and stable. However likeall the other measuring devices, they need to becalibrated particularly when they are used for bulkpower/ energy metering where revenues are involved.Due to the development of the calibration facilities inthe area of ITs NPLI is now in a position to renderinternationally traceable calibrations.
