Sensors based on alternative principles have been introduced as successors to conventional inductive instrument transformers in order to obtain size reduction, performance improvement and better standardization. These principles are known since already a long time, but not until the introduction of versatile electronic relays it has been possible to make use of the advantageous properties of sensors designed on these principles. INDOOR Current sensor The measurement of currents by KEVCD sensors is based on the Rogowski coil principle. The Rogowski coil is a toroidal coil without iron core, placed around the primary conductor in the same way as as the secondary winding of a current transformer. The difference from the latter, however, is that output signal from a Rogowski coil is not a current, but a voltage: In all cases, a signal reproducing the actual primary current waveform is obtained by integrating the transmitted voltage signal.

Voltage sensor The measurement of voltages in the KEVCD sensors is based on the principle of a resistive voltage divider. The output voltage is directly proportional to the input voltage: Voltage sensor R 1 In all cases, the transmitted signal reproduces the actual waveform of the primary voltage. U p R 2 U out Programmable protective and control IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) The protective and control IED includes the functionality of both the conventional relays but also a lot of auxiliary functions. Even during a failure state the information transmitted from the sensors into the IEDs corresponds truly to the measured signal, hence guaranteeing the accuracy and giving the possibility for a versatile relay function. The IED, however, has to be able to operate at sensor s low input signal level with sufficient accuracy, and the signal from the Rogowski coil must to pass through a process of integration. Contemporary IEDs (e.g. the ABB feeder terminals of the RE series) are already designed for the use of sensors, and they are also equipped with built-in integrators at the inputs of Rogowski coil sensor. Noticeable differences between sensors and instrument transformers From the practical point of view there exist two noticeable differences between sensors and the conventional induction-based instrument transformers: INDOOR Linearity Due to the absence of ferromagnetic core the magnetic circuit cannot become saturated and, consequently, the sensors are linear up to the highest currents and voltages. On a practical level two significant advantages have been achieved: ε Accuracy limits Rated current Current sensor I p (log) Current transformer 2 1. The measurement and protective function can be realized with one single secondary winding with double ratings (for measurement and protection) 2. Only one single standard sensor can be used for a range of switchgear rated currents and voltages. Compactness As sensing elements are noticeably smaller and the same elements can be used for both the measurement and protective purposes, the current and voltage sensors can easily be combined in one device, the Combi Sensor, still smaller than a conventional current transformer. In principle the KEVCD sensor is a combined sensor with the possibility to be delivered without the voltage-sensing element.
Advantages of this sensor technology New IED technology Rated range Example: Rated current range: 80 to 1250 A, accuracy class 1. The accuracy class limits correspond to those in the figure. ε +3 % +1 % -1 % -3 % 0.05x80 A = 4 A Accuracy limits Typical accuracy Rated current range 80 A 1250 A I p (log) 1.2x1250 A = 1500 A Since the voltage and current sensors are highly linear within a very broad range of voltages and currents, respectively, one and the same sensor can be used for various rated voltages and currents of a switchgear. Instead of one value of rated current, a current range is defined for the sensor. For every switchgear rated current within the rated current range of sensor the engineering parameters of the sensor, specified by a standard, are met for the particular rated current. To achieve correct functioning of the protection and control IEDs the chosen rated current as well as the rated transformation ratio must be programmed to the IED. The same applies also for the rated voltage range for voltage sensors. Correction factor The amplitude error of a current sensor remains to be virtually constant and does not depend on the primary current. Hence, it can be corrected in the IED by using a correction factor measured separately for every sensor during the routine testing. A sensor fulfilling the requirements of e.g. class 3 without the correction factor can be rectified by software in a way to meet the requirements of class 1 with the use of the correction factor. For voltage sensors correction factors are not used. Adapter If the transmitted signal from the current sensor is too high to be processed properly by the IED, an adapter is to be inserted between the sensor cable and the IED adapter unit. Simply said, the adapter operates as a highly accurate voltage divider giving a higher transformation ratio of the current sensor. The adapters have to be matched to the actually used IED and must be ordered in combination with the sensor. Cable The kind and length of cable has a considerable impact on the total accuracy of the sensor. Therefore, the accuracy of every sensor is to be tested jointly with the cable specified in the purchase order. Even if the cable may be disconnected from the sensor for the purpose of transport and mounting, the accuracy class specified is valid only when the sensor is equipped with its original cable having the same production number as the sensor itself. The cable is available in three standard lengths, with the length to be specified in the purchase order. 3
