Standard current transformer(CT) with the nominal ratio errors in the range of - 10 % to + 10 % has been developed. Linearity of the CT ratio error measuring system (CT comparator) has been tested by using wide ratio error standard current transformer(WRE CT). The developed WRE CT can be used to evaluate the linearity of the CT comparator by comparing both the theoretical values and experimental values of the WRE CT. The developed method has been successfully applied for calibration and correction in the CT comparator belonging to industry.

We have developed an evaluation technique for ratio errors of current transformer (CT) comparator by using the precise standard capacitors. By applying this technique for equivalent circuit of CT comparator evaluation system, we can obtain the calculated and measured ratio errors in the CT comparator. Thus we can evaluate ratio errors of CT comparator by comparing the calculated and measured ratio errors. Because this method requires only the standard capacitors, it is simple and easy method to reliability and accuracy maintenance of CT comparator. The method was applied to CT comparator under test with the ratio error ranges of $0{\sim}{\pm}10%$. The ratio error of the CT comparator under test theoretically obtained in this method are consistent with that measured for same CT comparator under test by using wide ratio error CT within an estimated expanded uncertainty (k = 2) in the overall ratio error ranges.

We have developed an absolute evaluation method to obtain the ratio error and phase displacement of a current transformer (CT) without any precise standard CT by measuring four parameters in a CT equivalent circuit. The excitation admittance in the CT equivalent circuit can be obtained by employing standard resistors with negligible reactive component. The secondary leakage impedance in the CT equivalent circuit can be measured using a universal impedance bridge. The method was applied to CTs under test with the wide current ratios in the range of 5 A / 5 A - 5,000 A / 5 A and 5 A / 1 A - 5,000 A / 1 A. The ratio error and phase displacement of the CT under test obtained in this study are consistent with those measured at the national institute in Canada using the same CT under test within an expanded uncertainty (k = 2) in the overall current ratios.

A protection current transformer (CT) has been widely used for protection devices. When a fault occurs, a CT should provide the faithful reproduction of the primary fault current. However, a CT may saturates due to the magnitude of fault current, dc component primary time constant and the remanent flux of the iron core, and the secondary current of a CT is distorted. The distorted current can cause mal-operation or the operating time delay of a protection relay. This paper provides a modeling of CT saturation using EMTP-RV. The performance of the proposed CT saturation modeling was investigated under various fault conditions varying the fault distance, fault inception angle, and remanent flux of the iron core. The results indicate that the proposed EMTP-RV modeling can operate correctly, and the reasons for CT saturation are verified by EMTP-RV simulations.

A percentage current differential relaying algorithm is widely used for bus protection. However, it may maloperate external faults with CT saturation. This paper proposes a percentage current differential relaying algorithm for bus protection using CT saturation detecting algorithm. The CT saturation detecting algorithm uses difference of secondary current of CT and detects CT saturation. The proposed method distinguishes percentage differential relay operation caused by faults from percentage differential relay operation caused by CT saturations.

The Current transformer is classified measuring CT and protective CT for their purpose. The measuring CT is required to retain a specified accuracy over the normal range of load currents, but the protective CT must be capable of providing an adequate output over wide range of fault condition. Therefore, the protective CT must determine the transient performance during fault condition. This paper measured peak instantaneous error of the TPY class CT to determine the transient performance directly and indirectly and studied the test results.

We have developed two absolute evaluation technology of inductor using current transformer (CT) comparator. One is the method that the reactance of inductor is obtained by analysing the equivalent circuit of CT with inductor connected to series at secondary terminal of CT. The other is the method that the reactance of inductor is obtained by comparing phase displacement of current flowing on inductor by using CT comparator. These technologies have the advantage to apply up to rated current and voltage of inductor. The method was applied to inductors under test in the range of $100 {\mu}H{\sim}1\;H$. The inductance of the inductor under test obtained in this study are consistent with those measured by LCR meter using the same inductor within an expanded uncertainty (k = 2) in the overall range of inductance.

This paper describes the design, evaluation and implementation of a compensating algorithm for an iron-cored measurement current transformer (CT) that removes the effects of the hysteresis characteristics of the iron-core. The exciting current resulting from the hysteresis characteristics of the core causes an error of the CT. The proposed algorithm decomposes the exciting current into the core loss current and the magnetizing current and each of them is estimated. The core loss current is calculated from the secondary voltage and the voltage-core loss current curve. The core flux linkage is calculated and then inserted into the flux-magnetizing current curve to estimate the magnetizing current. The exciting current at every sampling interval is obtained by summing the core loss and magnetizing currents and then added to the measured current to obtain the correct secondary current. The voltage-core loss current curve and flux-magnetizing current curves, which are different from the conventional curves, are derived in this paper. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated under various conditions using EMTP generated data. The experimental test results of an iron-core type electronic CT, which consists of the iron-core and the compensation board, are also included. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm can improve the accuracy of the measurement CT significantly, and thus reduce the size and the cost of the CT.

This paper proposes a compensation method for an air gapped current transformer (CT) in the steady state. An air gapped CT is used in order to reduce a remanent flux in the case of auto-reclosure. It causes larger ratio and angle errors than the closed core CT because the magnetizing inductance of an air-gapped CT is even smaller than the closed-core CT. The core flux is calculated and used to estimate the exciting current in accordance with the hysteresis curve of the air-gapped CT The correct current is obtained by adding the estimated exciting current to the measured secondary current. The performance of the method was investigated for the air gapped CTs with a gap of 0.083mm and 0.249mm for the 120%, 100% and 20% of the rated current. Various test results indicate that the proposed compensation algorithm can improves the accuracy significantly.

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is routinely used for anatomical assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, invasive measurement of fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the current gold standard for the diagnosis of hemodynamically significant CAD. CT-derived FFRCT and CT perfusion are two emerging techniques that can provide a functional assessment of CAD for risk stratification and clinical decision making. Several clinical studies have shown that the diagnostic performance of concomitant CCTA and functional CT assessment for detecting hemodynamically significant CAD is at least non-inferior to that of other routinely used imaging modalities. This article aims to review the current clinical evidence and recent developments in functional CT techniques.
