IEC EN 61869-14 Instrument Transformers - Additional Requirements for Current Transformers for DC Applications

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of IEC EN 61869-14 testing. IEC EN 61869-14 provides all requirements specific to current transformers to be used in DC applications (DCCTs), regardless of the technology used. The output signal can be analog or digital.

IEC EN 61869-14 Instrument Transformers - Additional Requirements for Current Transformers for DC Applications

It is applied to newly manufactured current transformers used for measurement, protection or control applications in DC power systems with rated voltage above 1,5 kV. The general configuration of a single-pole low-power instrument transformer is described in IEC EN 61869-6.

This standard applies to current transformers intended for use in DC applications having at least one of the following functions:

  • Measure DC current (with significant harmonics);
  • Can withstand DC voltage.

This standard was established to specify additional requirements regarding the design, performance, test methods and use of DC current transformers. DC current transformers are often used in energy monitoring systems, industrial process control and other measurement applications.

It can determine the frequency range in which transformers to be used in DC applications can operate. It may include relevant requirements to ensure that DC current transformers have adequate insulation properties and electromagnetic compatibility.
