Laboratory Test of Current Transformer Operates under Harmonic Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

This research focused on the effect of harmonic to the performance of current transformer (CT) operates under harmonic conditions. Due to the increasing of harmonic in power system, the CT did not perform well. The CT may saturates due to the presence of voltage and current harmonics. In this project, a laboratory test was conducted to investigate and analyze the influence of harmonics to the CT performance. This CT has been test with different Total Harmonic Distortion Current (THDi) at primary side and constant primary current. The experiment result shows the secondary current CT errors will increases when THDi increases.
