Two CT Differential Configuration - JA Model

 

Description

This component models two current transformers , operating in parallel in a differential protection scheme.  The model is based on the Jiles-Atherton theory of ferromagnetic hysteresis.  The effects of saturation, hysteresis remanence and minor loop formation are modeled based on the physics of the magnetic material.  

 

The input to the model is the measured primary line currents (in kA).  The model calculates the secondary currents from the CT winding (in Amps). The current through the relay is available as an internal output.
