Example 2:
CT, Burden Resistor and Gain Calculation
Minimum CT Primary based on IOC trip point of 2.5 x Power Module rating
Maximum CT ratio based on Gain Range of Scaling Op-Amp in the Current
Feedback circuit
Input Values
Units
Description
IdN_pm_rtg: = 226
Amp
Power module rating
Rb:= 2.5
Ohms
Jumpers J4 and J5 in the “On”
position. See
for jumper locations.
CT_pri: = 2000
Amp
CT_sec: = 1
Amp
Value/Calculation
Units
Description
IOC_mult: = 2.5
CT_pri_min: =
IOC_mult x IdN_pm_rtg x 0.85
0.85 is the ratio of AC to DC
current
CT_pri_min = 480
Amp
Based on IOC trip point
CT_ratio_min_based_on_ioc: = CT_pri_min / CT_sec
CT_ratio_min_based_on_ioc = 480
Based on IOC trip point
Value/Calculation
Units
Description
CT_ratio_max: = 1.2 x (IdN_rtg x Rb) / 0.612
CT_ratio_max = 1.108 x 10

Based on Gain <= 1.2
Value/Calculation
Units
Description
Vf_at_IdN_pm_rtg = 0.612
Volts
Fixed Value
CT_ratio: = CT_pri / CT_sec
CT_ratio = 2 x 10

Ib_at_IdN_pm_rtg: = IdN_pm_rtg / CT_ratio
Ib_at_IdN_pm_rtg = 0.113
Amps
Vb_at_IdN_pm_rtg: = (IdN_pm_rtg / CT_ratio) x Rb
Vb_at_IdN_pm_rtg = 0.283
Volts
Gain_Required: = Vf_at_IdN_pm_rtg /
Vb_at_IdN_pm_rtg
Gain_Required = 2.166
Note: Required Gain = 2.166,
which is greater than the
Recommended Gain <= 1.2 (for
best accuracy)
