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 />
