1.Intro
Once the secondary winding of the current transformer and its loop are open during operation, an overvoltage of several thousand volts or even tens of thousands of volts will be generated. This not only causes harm to the insulation of the secondary system, but also causes the transformer to be burnt out due to overexertion, and even endangers the safety of operators.
The current transformer secondary overvoltage circuit protector developed by Kaich is specially used to limit the overvoltage generated when the secondary open circuit occurs, and has action contact output, automatic light-emitting display, automatic blocking differential protection, There are manual or automatic reset functions, as well as multiple combinations of protectors with different functions.
2. Function
- After the protector acts, it can limit the secondary overvoltage of the current transformer to a safe level;
- After the protector acts, the fault circuit is displayed, which is convenient for troubleshooting;
- There is a contact signal output after the protection action, which can be referenced by the external circuit;
- There is an alarm sound prompt after the protection action, reminding the user to troubleshoot in time.

4.Principle
The current transformer secondary open-circuit protector is mainly composed of nonlinear resistors with close to ideal protection characteristics. The protector is connected across both ends of the CT secondary winding. During normal operation, the leakage current is extremely small, and it is in a high resistance state of more than 100MΩ; when the CT secondary circuit is open, the voltage generated is much higher than the normal operating voltage, and the protector quickly Action, a low-resistance state similar to a short circuit, effectively limiting overvoltage.
The protector can provide protection for 18 CT secondary circuits at most. The fault circuit is displayed on the rear panel of the action, and there is a passive contact signal output. After troubleshooting, press the manual reset button, and the circuit will resume normal operation after returning to its original state.
5. Wiring
The standard protector is suitable for the current transformer with the secondary winding star connection. The terminals A, B, C and common terminal N of the protector are directly connected to the A, B, C phases and the secondary of the secondary winding of the current transformer. on the neutral point N. If only A, B (or A) phase windings are used, then C (or B, C) phases can be left unconnected, which will not affect the normal operation of the protector.
For the three-phase current transformer group whose secondary winding needs to be connected in a delta connection, our company can make it specially for the user, but it needs to be specified when ordering. See the attached figure for the word connection of the external lead terminal of the protector.
