Part 14: Additional requirements for current
transformers for DC applications
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61869-14 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 38:
Instrument transformers.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
38/560/FDIS 38/565/RVD

INTRODUCTION
General
This document applies to current transformers intended to be used in DC applications with at
least one of the following functions:
• measure DC current (with significant harmonics);
• withstand DC voltage.
Depending on the position of the current transformer on the DC system, different kinds of
application exist, which are briefly described below, together with the approximate voltage or
current wave shape.
Line-commutated converters (LCC)
Line-commutated converters (LCC) are based on thyristor converters (see Figure 1401). They
are characterized by a single direction of current flow, and a voltage polarity reversal
possibility. Significant voltage and current harmonics exist up to frequencies of about 3 kHz to
4 kHz.
Figure 1401 – Example of LCC scheme
We distinguish three different current-measurement functions:
• CT1: measurement of the current at the AC side of the converter;
• CT2: measurement of the current at the DC side of the converter;
• CT3: measurement of the current in the DC filter.
Table 1401 gives an overview of the current and voltage waveshapes as well as the main
characteristics of the different applications of the CT.

Voltage-source converters (VSC)
Voltage-source converters (VSC) are based on transistor converters. They are characterized
by a bi-directional current flow and a single voltage polarity. Voltage and current harmonics
exist up to frequencies of about 20 kHz.
Two variants of VSC schemes exist: symmetrical monopoles (using one single converter) and
asymmetrical monopole or bipole (with one converter for each polarity).
Both schemes are shown in Figure 1402 and Figure 1403.

We distinguish three different current-measurement functions:
• CT4: measurement of the current in the transistor branches of the converter.
The CT can be placed before (CT4a) or after the transistor branch (CT4b);
• CT2: measurement of the current at the DC side of the converter;
• CT3: measurement of the current in the DC filter (not always present in this scheme).
Table 1402 gives an overview of the current and voltage waveshapes as well as the main
characteristics of the different applications of the CT.

INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMERS –
Part 14: Additional requirements for current
transformers for DC applications
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61869-14 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 38:
Instrument transformers.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
38/560/FDIS 38/565/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in

INTRODUCTION
General
This document applies to current transformers intended to be used in DC applications with at
least one of the following functions:
• measure DC current (with significant harmonics);
• withstand DC voltage.
Depending on the position of the current transformer on the DC system, different kinds of
application exist, which are briefly described below, together with the approximate voltage or
current wave shape.
Line-commutated converters (LCC)
Line-commutated converters (LCC) are based on thyristor converters (see Figure 1401). They
are characterized by a single direction of current flow, and a voltage polarity reversal
possibility. Significant voltage and current harmonics exist up to frequencies of about 3 kHz to
4 kHz.
Figure 1401 – Example of LCC scheme
We distinguish three different current-measurement functions:
• CT1: measurement of the current at the AC side of the converter;
• CT2: measurement of the current at the DC side of the converter;
• CT3: measurement of the current in the DC filter.
Table 1401 gives an overview of the current and voltage waveshapes as well as the main
characteristics of the different applications of the CT.

Voltage-source converters (VSC)
Voltage-source converters (VSC) are based on transistor converters. They are characterized
by a bi-directional current flow and a single voltage polarity. Voltage and current harmonics
exist up to frequencies of about 20 kHz.
Two variants of VSC schemes exist: symmetrical monopoles (using one single converter) and
asymmetrical monopole or bipole (with one converter for each polarity).
Both schemes are shown in Figure 1402 and Figure 1403.

Figure 1403 – Typical scheme for VSC – asymmetrical monopole or bipole
We distinguish three different current-measurement functions:
• CT4: measurement of the current in the transistor branches of the converter.
The CT can be placed before (CT4a) or after the transistor branch (CT4b);
• CT2: measurement of the current at the DC side of the converter;
• CT3: measurement of the current in the DC filter (not always present in this scheme).
Table 1402 gives an overview of the current and voltage waveshapes as well as the main
characteristics of the different applications of the CT.

INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMERS –
Part 14: Additional requirements for current
transformers for DC applications
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61869 provides all requirements specific to current transformers to be used in
DC applications (DCCTs), whatever the technology used. The output signal can be analogue
or digital.
It is applicable to newly manufactured current transformers used for measuring, protection
and/or control applications in DC power systems with a rated voltage above 1,5 kV.
The general configuration of a single-pole low-power instrument transformer is described in
Figure 601 of IEC 61869-6:2016.
The DCCTs intended for current measurement in the transistor branch of the VSC valve
(referred to as CT4a and CT4b in Figure 1403 and Table 1402) are not covered by this
document, and will be considered in a future revision.
