IEC 61869-2:2012
Instrument transformers - Part 2: Additional requirements for current transformers
IEC 61869-2:2012 is applicable to newly manufactured inductive current transformers for use with electrical measuring instruments and/or electrical protective devices having rated frequencies from 15 Hz to 100 Hz. This International Standard cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60044-1, published in 1996, and its Amendment 1 (2000) and Amendment 2 (2002), and the first edition of IEC 60044-6, published in 1992. Additionally it introduces technical innovations in the standardization and adaptation of the requirements for current transformers for transient performance.This publication is to be read in conjunction with IEC 61869-1:2007.The contents of the Interpretation Sheet 1 of January 2022 have been included in this copy.

Applies to newly manufactured current transformers for use with electrical measuring instruments and electrical protective devices at frequencies from 15 Hz to 100 Hz. Applies basically to transformers with separate windings, but also to autotransformers.
Concerns requirements and tests, in addition to those given in chapter 1 of IEC 60185, that are necessary when inductive current transformers are used with electrical protective schemes in which the prime requirement is the maintenance of a defined performance up to several times the rated current when the current contains an exponentially decaying d.c. component of defined time constant.
The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
