3.1.2
Transformer Module
The transformer module (VCT module) insulates between the internal and external circuits
through an auxiliary transformer and transforms the magnitude of AC input signals to suit the
electronic circuits. The AC input signals are as follows:
three-phase currents (I a , I b and I c ) for a winding
neutral current (I N ) for a winding
phase-to-phase voltage
Figure 3.1.4 shows a block diagram of the transformer module. There are 8 to 12 auxiliary CTs
and 1 auxiliary VT mounted in the transformer module depending on the relay model. (For the
correspondence between the relay model and number of AC input signals, see Table 3.2.1.)
The transformer module is also provided with an IRIG-B port. This port collects the serial
IRIG-B format data from the external clock for synchronization of the relay calendar clock. The
IRIG-B port is insulated from the external circuit by a photo-coupler. A BNC connector is used as
the input connector.
