ABSTRACT:
A protection system for protecting the secondary windings of current transformers against overvoltages. The protection system consists of a device shunting the secondary winding and having a triggering device operative when the winding is subjected to a voltage higher than the voltage appearing across the terminals of the secondary winding, under normal operating conditions and during a fault on the HV power network. The shunting device comprises a latching relay incorporating a coil which is energized by the triggering device to short-circuit the current secondary transformer through the relay contact, and, also, a voltage regulator connected in parallel with the relay coil. This protection system is simple, compact, lightweight and consumes no energy when the current transformer operates under normal conditions.
