Instrument transformers - Part 10: Additional requirements for low-power passive current transformers (IEC 61869-10:2017)

This part of IEC 61869 is a product standard and covers only additional requirements for lowpower
passive current transformers. The product standard for low-power passive current
transformers comprises IEC 61869-1, together with IEC 61869-6 and this document with
specific requirements.
This document is applicable to newly manufactured low-power passive current transformers
with analogue output for use with electrical measuring instruments or electrical protective
devices having a rated frequency from 15 Hz to 100 Hz.
This document covers low-power passive current transformers used for measurement or
protection and multi-purpose low-power passive current transformers used for both
measurement and protection.
Subclause 5.6.1001 covers the accuracy requirements that are necessary for low-power
passive current transformers for use with electrical measuring instruments.
Subclause 5.6.1002 covers the accuracy requirements that are necessary for low-power
passive current transformers for use with electrical protective relays, and particularly for forms
of protection in which the prime requirement is to maintain the accuracy up to several times
the rated current. If required, the transient accuracy of low-power passive current
transformers during fault is also given in 5.6.1002.
Low-power passive current transformers have analogue voltage output only (for digital output
or for technology using any kind of active electronic components refer to IEC 61869-82). Such
low-power passive current transformers can include the secondary signal cable (transmitting
cable). The principle of operation of derivative low-power passive current transformers using
air-core coils (Rogowski coils) is given in Annex 10B and the principle of operation of
proportional low-power passive current transformers using iron-core coils with integrated
shunt is given in Annex 10C.

Cette première édition de l'IEC 61869-10 conjointement avec l'IEC 61869-1, l'IEC 61869-6, l'IEC 61869-8 et l'IEC 61869-9 annulent et remplacent la première édition de l'IEC 60044-8 publiée en 2002. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.
Les révisions techniques concernent la décision du TC 38 de l'IEC de restructurer l'ensemble des normes indépendantes de la série IEC 60044 et d'en faire un nouvel ensemble de normes composé de documents portant sur les exigences générales et de documents portant sur des exigences spécifiques.

Instrumentni transformatorji - 10. del: Dodatne zahteve za pasivne tokovne transformatorje majhne moči (IEC 61869-10:2017)

Ta del standarda IEC 61869 je standard za izdelek in obsega le dodatne zahteve za pasivni tokovni transformator z nizko močjo. Standard za izdelek za pasivne tokovne transformatorje z nizko močjo sestavlja standard IEC 61869-1 skupaj s standardom IEC 61869-6 in tem dokumentom s specifičnimi zahtevami.
Ta dokument se uporablja za nove pasivne tokovne transformatorje z nizko močjo in analognim izhodom za uporabo z električnimi merilnimi instrumenti ali električnimi zaščitnimi napravami z nazivno frekvenco od 15 Hz do 100 Hz.
Ta dokument obsega pasivne tokovne transformatorje z nizko močjo, ki se uporabljajo za merjenje ali zaščito, in večnamenske pasivne tokovne transformatorje z nizko močjo, ki se uporabljajo tako za merjenje kot tudi za zaščito.
Podtočka 5.6.1001 obsega zahteve glede natančnosti, ki so potrebne za pasivne tokovne transformatorje z nizko močjo za uporabo z električnimi merilnimi inštrumenti.
Podtočka 5.6.1002 obsega zahteve glede natančnosti, ki so potrebne za pasivne tokovne transformatorje z nizko močjo za uporabo z električnimi varnostnimi releji in zlasti za oblike zaščite, pri katerih glavna zahteva določa vzdrževanje natančnosti do večkratnika naznačenega toka. Če je zahtevano, je v točki 5.6.1002 navedena natančnost prehodne napetosti pasivnih tokovnih transformatorjev z nizko močjo med okvaro.
Pasivni tokovni transformatorji z nizko močjo imajo le analogni napetostni izhod (za digitalni izhod ali za tehnologijo, ki uporablja kakršno koli vrsto aktivnih elektronskih komponent, glejte standard IEC 61869-82). Takšni pasivni tokovni transformatorji z nizko močjo lahko vključujejo sekundarni kabel za signal (kabel za prenos). Načelo delovanja pasivnega tokovnega transformatorja z odvedeno nizko močjo, ki uporablja tuljave z zračnim jedrom (tuljave Rogowski), je navedeno v Dodatku 10B, načelo delovanja pasivnih tokovnih transformatorjev s sorazmerno nizko močjo, ki uporablja tuljave z železnim jedrom in integriranim navitjem, je navedeno v Dodatku 10C.

INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMERS –

Part 10: Additional requirements
for low-power passive current transformers

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 61869-10 has been prepared IEC technical committee 38:
Instrument transformers.
This first edition of IEC 61869-10, together with IEC 61869-1, IEC 61869-6, IEC 61869-8 and
1
IEC 61869-9, cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60044-8, published in 2002 . This
edition constitutes a technical revision.
The technical changes concern IEC TC 38's decision to restructure the whole set of stand-
alone standards in the IEC 60044 series and transform it into a new set of standards
composed of general requirements documents and specific requirements documents.
_____________
1
 IEC 60044-8 will eventually be replaced by the IEC 61869 series, but until all the relevant parts of the
IEC 61869 series will be published, this standard is still in force.

Full information on the voting for the approval of this part of IEC 61869 can be found in the
report on voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This standard is Part 10 of IEC 61869, published under the general title Instrument
transformers.
This Part 10 is to be read in conjunction with, and is based on, IEC 61869-1:2007, General
requirements and IEC 61869-6:2016, Additional general requirements for low-power
instrument transformers – however, the reader is encouraged to use the most recent edition of
these documents.
This Part 10 follows the structure of IEC 61869-1:2007 and IEC 61869-6:2016 and
supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses.
When a particular subclause of Part 1or part 6 is not mentioned in this Part 10, that subclause
applies. When this part of IEC 61869 states “addition”, “modification” or “replacement”, the
relevant text in part 1 or part 6 is to be adapted accordingly.

INTRODUCTION
Low-power passive current transformers (LPCT) are based on passive technologies without
any active electronic components. They can have an output signal proportional to the primary
current, for example iron core coils with integrated shunt as a current to voltage converter
(primary converter) or they can have an output signal proportional to the derivative of the
primary current, for example air-core coils (Rogowski coils). This part of IEC 61869 does not
cover the air-core coils with active integrator.
According to a general block diagram given in Figure 601 of IEC 61869-6:2016, the low-power
passive current transformers do not use an active primary converter (i.e. without any active
electronic component); therefore, there is no need for primary power supply. Additionally,
neither the secondary converter nor the secondary power supply is used.
The general block diagram of a low-power passive current transformer is given in
Figure 1001.
The applied technology decides which part is necessary for the realization of a low-power
passive current transformer, i.e. it is not absolutely necessary that the transmitting cable or
primary converter described in Figure 1001 be included in the low-power passive current
transformer. The derivative LPCT solution considers only the air-core coil as the primary
sensor and the transmission cable as the transmitting system. In this technology, the primary
converter is not considered. In case of a proportional LPCT solution, the ferromagnetic-core
coil is considered as the primary sensor, a burden resistance connected directly to the coil
outputs works as a primary converter and the transmission cable is a transmitting system.

measurement and protection.
Subclause 5.6.1001 covers the accuracy requirements that are necessary for low-power
passive current transformers for use with electrical measuring instruments.
Subclause 5.6.1002 covers the accuracy requirements that are necessary for low-power
passive current transformers for use with electrical protective relays, and particularly for forms
of protection in which the prime requirement is to maintain the accuracy up to several times
the rated current. If required, the transient accuracy of low-power passive current
transformers during fault is also given in 5.6.1002.
Low-power passive current transformers have analogue voltage output only (for digital output

INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMERS –

Part 10: Additional requirements
for low-power passive current transformers

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 61869-10 has been prepared IEC technical committee 38:
Instrument transformers.
This first edition of IEC 61869-10, together with IEC 61869-1, IEC 61869-6, IEC 61869-8 and
1
IEC 61869-9, cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60044-8, published in 2002 . This
edition constitutes a technical revision.
The technical changes concern IEC TC 38's decision to restructure the whole set of stand-
alone standards in the IEC 60044 series and transform it into a new set of standards
composed of general requirements documents and specific requirements documents.
_____________
1
 IEC 60044-8 will eventually be replaced by the IEC 61869 series, but until all the relevant parts of the
IEC 61869 series will be published, this standard is still in force.

INTRODUCTION
Low-power passive current transformers (LPCT) are based on passive technologies without
any active electronic components. They can have an output signal proportional to the primary
current, for example iron core coils with integrated shunt as a current to voltage converter
(primary converter) or they can have an output signal proportional to the derivative of the
primary current, for example air-core coils (Rogowski coils). This part of IEC 61869 does not
cover the air-core coils with active integrator.
According to a general block diagram given in Figure 601 of IEC 61869-6:2016, the low-power
passive current transformers do not use an active primary converter (i.e. without any active
electronic component); therefore, there is no need for primary power supply. Additionally,
neither the secondary converter nor the secondary power supply is used.
The general block diagram of a low-power passive current transformer is given in
Figure 1001.
The applied technology decides which part is necessary for the realization of a low-power
passive current transformer, i.e. it is not absolutely necessary that the transmitting cable or
primary converter described in Figure 1001 be included in the low-power passive current
transformer. The derivative LPCT solution considers only the air-core coil as the primary
sensor and the transmission cable as the transmitting system. In this technology, the primary
converter is not considered. In case of a proportional LPCT solution, the ferromagnetic-core
coil is considered as the primary sensor, a burden resistance connected directly to the coil
outputs works as a primary converter and the transmission cable is a transmitting system.

INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMERS –

Part 10: Additional requirements
for low-power passive current transformers


1 Scope
This part of IEC 61869 is a product standard and covers only additional requirements for low-
power passive current transformers. The product standard for low-power passive current
transformers comprises IEC 61869-1, together with IEC 61869-6 and this document with
specific requirements.
This document is applicable to newly manufactured low-power passive current transformers
with analogue output for use with electrical measuring instruments or electrical protective
devices having a rated frequency from 15 Hz to 100 Hz.
This document covers low-power passive current transformers used for measurement or
protection and multi-purpose low-power passive current transformers used for both
measurement and protection.
Subclause 5.6.1001 covers the accuracy requirements that are necessary for low-power
passive current transformers for use with electrical measuring instruments.
Subclause 5.6.1002 covers the accuracy requirements that are necessary for low-power
passive current transformers for use with electrical protective relays, and particularly for forms
of protection in which the prime requirement is to maintain the accuracy up to several times
the rated current. If required, the transient accuracy of low-power passive current
transformers during fault is also given in 5.6.1002.
Low-power passive current transformers have analogue voltage output only (for digital output
2
or for technology using any kind of active electronic components refer to IEC 61869-8 ). Such
low-power passive current transformers can include the secondary signal cable (transmitting
cable). The principle of operation of derivative low-power passive current transformers using
air-core coils (Rogowski coils) is given in Annex 10B and the principle of operation of
proportional low-power passive current transformers using iron-core coils with integrated
shunt is given in Annex 10C.
