In a test by Murray loop for ground fault on 600 m of cable having a resistance of 1.5 Ω/km, the faulty cable is looped with a sound cable of the same length and area of cross section. If the ratio of the other two arms of the testing network at balance is 3 : 1, find the distance of the fault from the testing end of cables.
Where, d is distance in m Q is value of variable resistor in ohm P is variable resistance in ohm Here Q/P = 1/3 is given, d = Q/(P + Q)*Loop length = 1/4*(2*600) = 300 m
The main function of an interposing CT is to balance the currents supplied to the relay where there would be an imbalance due to the ratios of the main CTs. Interposing CTs are equipment with a ratio that can be selected by the user to achieve the balance required. An interposing CT is installed between the secondary winding of the main CT and relay.
