transformer by name and/or a white dot.<br />
2.6.2.4 Industry Standards<br />
In the U.S., the utility industry relies heavily on IEEE C57.13, Requirements for Instrument <strong>Transformer</strong>s.<br />
This standard establishes the basis for the test and manufacture of all instrument transformers used in<br />
this country. It defines the parameters for insulation class and accuracy class. The burdens listed in Table<br />
2.6.3 are defined in IEEE C57.13. Often, standards for other electrical apparatus that may use instrument<br />
transformers have adopted their own criteria based on IEEE C57.13. These standards, along with utility<br />
practices and the National <strong>Electric</strong> Code, are used in conjunction with each other to ensure maximum<br />
safety and system reliability. The industrial market may also coordinate with Underwriters Laboratories.<br />
As the marketplace becomes global, there is a drive for standard harmonization with the International<br />
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), but we are not quite there yet. It is important to know the international<br />
standards in use, and these are listed in Table 2.6.4. Most major countries originally developed<br />
their own standards. Today, many are beginning to adopt IEC standards to supersede their own.<br />
2.6.2.5 Accuracy Classes<br />
Instrument transformers are rated by performance in conjunction with a secondary burden. As the<br />
burden increases, the accuracy class may, in fact, decrease. For revenue-metering use, the coordinates of<br />
ratio error and phase error must lie within a prescribed parallelogram, as seen in Figure 2.6.7 and<br />
Figure 2.6.8 for VTs and CTs, respectively. This parallelogram is based on a 0.6 system power factor<br />
(PF). The ratio error (RE) is converted into a ratio correction factor (RCF), which is simply<br />
FIGURE 2.6.7 Accuracy coordinates for VTs.<br />
RCF = 1 – (RE/100) (2.6.5)<br />
The total-error component is the transformer correction factor (TCF), which is the combined ratio<br />
and phase-angle error. The limits of phase-angle error are determined from the following relationship:<br />
PA tan<br />
TCF RCF <br />
<br />
3438 <br />
(2.6.6)<br />
where<br />
TCF = transformer correction factor<br />
RCF = ratio correction factor<br />
PA = phase-angle error, min<br />
= supply-system PF angle<br />
+ = for VTs only (see Figure 2.6.7)<br />
– = for CTs only (see Figure 2.6.8)<br />
3438 = minutes of angle in 1 rad<br />
Therefore, using 0.6 system power factor ( = 53) and substituting in Equation 2.6.6, the relationship<br />
for VTs is<br />
TCF = RCF + (PA/2600) (2.6.7)<br />
