CSA C61869-6:20

This is the first edition of CSA C61869-6, Instrument transformers — Part 6: Additional general requirements for low-power instrument transformers, which is an adoption, with Canadian deviations, of the identically titled IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 61869-6 (first edition, 2016-04). It replaces relevant parts of CAN/CSA-C60044-7:07 (adopted IEC 60044-7:1999), Instrument transformers — Part 7: Electronic voltage transformers, and of CAN/CSA-C60044-8:07 (adopted IEC 60044-8:2002), Instrument transformers — Part 8: Electronic current transformers. It is part of the CSA C61869 series of Standards on instrument transformers, which consists of adoptions with Canadian deviations of the IEC 61869 series of Standards.

This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CAN/CSA-C61869-1:14, Instrument transformers — Part 1: General requirements (adopted IEC 61869-1:2007, with Canadian deviations).

Requirements common to all instrument transformer types are grouped in CAN/CSA-C61869-1. Requirements specific to conventional instrument transformer types are grouped in CAN/CSA-C61869-2, CAN/CSA-C61869-3, CAN/CSA-C61869-4, and CAN/CSA-C61869-5. Those CSA Group Standards present many inherited Canadian deviations justified by the specific conditions, practices, and regulations in Canada.

Requirements common to low-power instrument transformers (LPIT) used for ac applications having rated frequencies from 15 Hz to 100 Hz covering MV, HV, and EHV or used for dc applications are grouped in CSA C61869-6.

The remaining Standards in the series state requirements for specific types of instrument transformers.

Canada has actively participated in the development of IEC 61869-6, in order to enforce specific Canadian conditions. It should be noted that Parts 6 to 13 of the IEC 61869 series specify the requirements for ac LPIT as well as the interfaces necessary to implement the LPIT into an integrated system for protection and measurement. Such a system uses a universal digital transmission protocol compatible with IEC 61850, and has a digital output. In order to ensure full interoperability, Canadian deviations in CSA C61869-6 are minimal.

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope:

This part of IEC 61869 is a product family standard and covers only additional general requirements for low-power instrument transformers (LPIT) used for a.c. applications having rated frequencies from 15 Hz to 100 Hz covering MV, HV and EHV or used for d.c. applications. This product standard is based on IEC 61869-1:2007, in addition to the relevant product specific standard.

This part of IEC 61869 does not cover the specification for the digital output format of instrument transformers.

This part of IEC 61869 defines the errors in case of analogue or digital output. The other characteristics of the digital interface for instrument transformers are standardised in IEC 61869-9 as an application of the standards, the IEC 61850 series, which details layered substation communication architecture.

This part of IEC 61869 considers additional requirements concerning bandwidth. The accuracy requirements on harmonics and requirements for the anti-aliasing filter are given in the normative Annex 6A.4.

The general block diagram of single-phase LPITs is given in Figure 601.

According to the technology, it is not absolutely necessary that all parts described in Figure 601 are included in the instrument transformer.

As an example, for low-power passive transformers (LPITs without active electronic components) the blocks are composed only with passive components and there is no power supply.
