8.0 Accuracy

8.1 Assignment of Accuracy Class - A measuring mA current transformer shall be given an accuracy class as specified in Table 5 for each standard burden, (Tables 3 and 4), up to the maximum for which it is designed.

8.2 Basis for Measurement Accuracy Classes - Accuracy classes for mA measuring CT are based on the requirement that the transformer correction factor (TCF) shall be within specified limits for the following conditions:

  1. 100% of rated primary current or the corresponding continuous current factor
  2. 10% or 5% of rated primary current
  3. Power factor (lagging) of metered power load from 0.6 to 1.0
  4. Burden of a specific standard value
  5. Normal service conditions

Note: At 5% or 10% of rated primary current, the permissible error is twice the error at 100% rated primary current.

The relationships between the limits of the ratio correction factors (RCFs) and the phase angle for the limiting values of the TCFs specified in Table 5 are shown in the parallelograms in Figure 1.

Table 5 - Accuracy Classes and Corresponding Limits of Transformer Correction Factors for Measuring Current Transformers
Accuracy Class 100% rated current* 10% rated Current 5% rated current Limits of power factor (lag) of metered power load
0.15 0.9985–1.0015 - 0.997–1.003 0.6–1
0.3 0.997–1.003 0.994–1.006 - 0.6–1
0.6 0.994–1.006 0.988–1.012 - 0.6–1

Note:

  1. These limits also shall be applicable at the maximum continuous current rating factor (RF)
  2. 5A:80mA 5A:100mA rating CT shall not be approved for accuracy class other than 0.15%

Limits of 0.15 accuracy class

Description of limits of 0.15 accuracy class figure

The relationships between the limits of the ratio correction factors and the phase angle for the limiting values of the transformer correction factors (TCFs) specified in Table 5 are provided by parallelograms that are plotted on graphs in which a phase angle correction factor in minutes appears on the x-axis and a ratio correction factor appears on the y-axis. The parallelograms defining the limiting values of the TCFs for current transformers are bound by vertices. For a 0.15 accuracy class at a 5% rated current, the limiting values are (0, 1.003), (15.6, 1.003), (0, 0.997) and (-15.6, .997). At a 100% rated current, the limiting values are (0, 1.0015), (7.8, 1.0015), (0, 0.9985) and (-7.8, 0.9985).

The parallelograms defining the limiting values of the TCFs for current transformers are bound by vertices. For a 0.3 accuracy class at a 10% rated current, the limiting values are (0, 1.006), (31.2, 1.006), (0, 0.994) and (-31.2, 0.994). At a 100% rated current, the limiting values are (0, 1.003), (15.6, 1.003), (0, 0.997) and (-15.6, 0.997).

At a 100% rated current, the limiting values are (0, 1.006), (31.2, 1.006), (0, 0.994) and (−31.2, 0.994)
