🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between current transformers (CTs) and overcurrent/negative phase sequence relays • Difference between current transformers (CTs) and potential (voltage) transformers (PTs) in protection schemes • Which signals (current vs temperature vs voltage) are needed for OCIT, OC (inst.), and NPS relays to operate

💭 Think About

• Look at the diagram and trace the line feeding into the OCIT / OC (inst.) / NPS box. What symbol is shown on the line just upstream of those relays? • Ask yourself: do overcurrent and negative phase sequence relays need to sense current, voltage, or temperature in order to detect faults? • Which device in the options is normally drawn in series with the line to measure current, and which is drawn across the line to measure voltage?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which device in the diagram is labeled CT and where its secondary leads go • Confirm that overcurrent and negative phase sequence protection depend on measuring line current, not temperature or infrared radiation • Check that PT (potential transformer) in the figure is shown supplying the voltage-based relays (like over/under voltage), not the overcurrent relays
