    A summation current transformer is used to convert three-phase quantities into a single-phase quantity. It is mainly used under unbalanced or fault conditions so relays operate properly. The transformer connects line current transformers (CTs) to its primary side. CTs energize different turns to produce a single-phase output. Summation transformers compare relay quantities from three phases and convert the system to positive, negative, and zero sequence components for fault analysis. The output depends on symmetrical components and the phase affected by the fault. Summation is simpler than sequence networks but has less discrimination.

    Summation Current Transformer

    Definition: The transformer which is used for converting the three­phase quantities into the
    single phase quantity is known as the summation transformer. This transformer is mainly
    employed for the unbalanced condition in the system and due to fault condition so that the relay
    operates properly.

    The connection of the summation current transformer is shown in the figure below. The line CTs
    are connected to the primary of the auxiliary CT. Each line CTs energise the different number of
    turns on the primary side of the auxiliary CTs. The resulting single­phase output appears across
    the secondary.

    The summation transformers are used for comparing the relaying quantities derived from the
    current in the three phases of the primary circuit. It converts the three phase system into
    positive, negative and zero sequence components.

    The simple arrangement of the phase sequence current segregating network is shown in the figure
    below. The summated output will be according to the fault condition. The summated transformer
    have their limitations because of loss of discrimination due to condensation of information.

    The output amperes­turns from summation transformer may be expressed regarding symmetrical
    components in the form of MI0 + NI1 + PI2 where M, N and P depend on the choice of summated
    quantities. The ratio of the compared quantities, for example, at the end of a protected feeder say
    A and B is

    The values of M, N and P depends on the summation transformer and the phase affected by the
    fault. The ideal condition assumes that the current transducers are linear in response and so also
    the summation devices. The summation device has less burden and also very simple as compared
    to sequence network filters.
