METROSILS FOR HIGH IMPEDANCE RELAYS
In some applications of high
impedance relays a non-linear
Metrosil resistor is required to
limit the current transformer
secondary voltage to a safe
level during maximum internal
fault condition. The Metrosil
chosen depends on the relay
setting voltage and the
maximum secondary internal
fault current.
Relays attached to Current
Transformers with 1A rated
Secondary Output.
Single disc Metrosils are suitable
for secondary internal fault currents
up to 50A rms. For larger fault
currents refer to Metrosils for relays
on 5A CTs.
Table 1 Identification of Metrosils for Relays on 1A CTs.
Single element or three element Metrosils are provided for use with single and triple pole relays respectively.

The Metrosil chosen depends on
the relay setting voltage and the
maximum secondary internal fault
current. Single disc Metrosils are
suitable for secondary internal fault
currents up to 50A rms. Metrosils
with multiple discs connected in
parallel are used for larger fault
currents.
