Enhanced Ouality with a Touch of Style

Rudolf launched our new encapsulated current transforrner. Portraying a revolutionary unique design encase using ABS/PC material, we provide
enhance quality with a touch of style

The various d ifferentleiting factors govern the

manufacturing of Rudolf current transformer lie in both

the choice of world-class raw material and a 100% testing to complete the supply. We are committed to provide our customer with undiscounted quality and complete assurance of compliance to lnternational
standard.

Basic Features
Correct selection of current transformer is important
as the fundamental usage of CT is:

1) to obtain proportional current in accordance 'to

specify accuracy and objectives; power circuit.

2) to insulate control & measuring / protection'from

Application
Measuiring current transformer is intended to supply

Company lntroduction
Bridex Singapore Pte Ltd is founded in 19/B as a
manufacturer of instruments transformer for the Asian

to indicative devices, integrated meter and similar

apparatus.

They are characterized by their accu racy and for

saturating at moderate overcurrent, This effect protects

market. We are the first local electrical switchgear

components manufacturer that launches our own Asian

the measuring instruments from possible overcurrent.

Protective current transformer is intended to supply to protective relays whereby accuracy of CT need to be kept especially during overload conditions.

- RuooLF Today we aim to become a knowledge-based,

ioentity

technology driven engineering organization, with

emphasis on providing solution for electrical distribution

Construction
The high-grade silicon steel core is annealed, varnished

and control, in area of instruments, distribution &

protection and power quality solution in area of power

then insulated with polycarbonate core caps, The

secondary winding is toroidally wound by high precision semi-automatic machinery. For the tape wound ring

quality audit & power quality system and motor

controller. With our present headquarter in Singapore and subsidiaries that are located in Aust ralia, Malaysia,

type current transformer, the PEW coated windings

are then covered with elephantite papq varnished and double-tapped with PVC tapes. For the encapsulated type current transformer, the windings are enclosed in a compact and heat resistant split cap.

Philippines and Vietnam, we are well equipped to service both local market and countries in the Asia
Pacific,

lmportant of accuracy & phase angle

Curreni error is an error that arises when the current value of the actual transformation ratio is not equal to rated transformation ratio. Current error (%) = {(Kn x ls

lp) x 1CO}/lp

Kn = rated transfornraiion ratio lp = actual primary current ls = actual secondary curreni

Evzmnla

ln ease of a 2000/5,4 class 1 SVA current transforrner Kn = 2000/5 = 400 turn lp = 20C0A ls = 4.9A

Current eytot =

{(aOO

x 4.9

2000)x100}/2000 = -2Vo

For protection class current transformer, the accuracy class is designed by the highest permissible percentage

composiie error at the accuracy limit primary current prescribed for the accuracy class concerned.
Accuracy class includes: 5P, 10P Standard accuracy limit factor are: 5,

i0,

15, 20, 30

By phase angle
Phase error is the difference in phase between primary & secondary current vectors, the direction of the vectors to be zero for a perfect transformer, You will experience a positive phase displacement when secondary current vector lead primary current vecior. Unit of scale expressed in minutes / centiradians. Circular measure = (unit in radian) is the ratio of the distance measured along the arc to the radrus.

Angular measure = (unit in degree) is obtained by dividing the angle subtended at the center of a circle
into 360 deg equal division known as "degrees". Table - limits of cuffent error and phase displacement {Classes O.l To I )

Class X Current Transformer

Class X current transformer is use in conjunction with high impedance circulating current differential protection relay, eg restricted earlh fault relay. As illustrated in 1EC60044-'1, the class X current transformer is needed. The following illustrates the method to size a class X current transformer.

Step l: calculating knee point voltage Vkp Vkp = {2 x lft (Rct+Rw)}/ k

Vkp = rgqlr;5ed CT knee point voltage lfl = max transformer through fault in ampere Rct = OT secondary winding resistance in ohms Rw = loop irnpedance of pilot wire between CT and the K = CT transformation ratio

Step 2: calculate Transformer through fault lft = (KVAx 1000)i(1 .732xVx lmpedance)
KVA = transformer rating in kVA

lft

V = transformer secondary voltage lmpedance = transformer impedance

Step 3: How to obtain Rct

To measure when CT is produce

Step 4: How to obtain Rw

This is ihe resistance of the pilot wire used to connect the Sth class X CT at the transformer star point to the relay in the LV switchboard. Please obtain this data from the Flectrical contractor or consultant. We provide a table to serve as a general guide on cable resistance.
