Knee point calculation for 765kV CT's
CT Ratio :3000-2000-1000-500/lACT Class :PS
Secondary Winding Resistance:· 15 ohm at 3000 tap· 10 ohm at 2000 tap. 5 ohm at 1000 tap. 2.5 ohm at 500 tap
Length of line assumed =25 kms.
Where IF= Max. secondary fault current at zone-l reachpoint.X/R = Primary system reactance/resistance ratio

Therefore
('Xs = Zs sin 87.5°
= 11.042 X 0.999 = 11.031 ohmsRs = Zs cos 87.5°= 11.042 X 0.0436 = 0.481 ohms
Zs = 0.481 + j11.031
Line Impedance:

On a 100MVA ,765 kV Base
Therefore
Base Impedance =765 X 765/100 = 5852.25 ohms
Rr.= 1.9513 X 10-6X 5852.25 = 0.01142 ohmslkMXL= 4.475 X 10-5X 5852.25 = 0.2619 ohmslkM
For a Line length of25 kMs (zone-1 reach=20 kMs)
Rr.' = 0.01142 X 20 = 0.2284 ohmsXL'= 0.2619 X 20 = 5.238 ohms
Therefore
Total Fault Impedance upto zone-1 reach point
R= Rr.'+ Rs = 0.2284+0.481 = 0.7902 ohmsX=Xs+ XL'
= 11.031+ 5.238 = 16.269 ohms
Z = 0.7094 + j 16.269Z = 16.284 ohms
Therefore Fault current at zone-1 reach= IF'

Lead Burden:
Cable Length= 800 mLead resistance = 8.71 ohms/kM( x 2.5 mm2 copper cable is used)
Therefore

Relay burden is negligible .Therefore Rrelay=0.27120

Selected knee point voltage for 3000/1 A tap =6000 V(plese see note below)

"For 2000 A tap,
27120VK(2000)=0.6x-x(I+23)(10+7.0)2000
= 3319.5 V
Selected knee point voltage for 2000/1 A tap =4000V(same as that for 400 kV CTs)
Note:
1. Since the requirement at 2000/1 A tap is 2V per turn,the selected knee point voltagefor 3000/1 A tap is 6000V.This is in line with the knee point voltage requirementbeing specified for 400 kV CT's .
2. It is intended to use only 3000/1 A or 000/1 A taps for 765 kV line protection.
