CHOOSING THE CORRECT METROSIL
The procedure for selecting the correct relay Metrosil type is Use minimum C value and β of 0.25
broken down into the following 5 step process:-
Equation 2 - For applied sinusoidal currents:-
Step 1 - Identify the relevant tables for the application
Vpeak = 1.09C(Irms) β
For a 1A CT with maximum internal secondary fault currents of
up to 50Arms, tables 1 and 2 apply (see page 2). Use maximum C value and β of 0.25.
For a 5A CT with maximum internal secondary fault currents of Operating conditions for the majority of high impedance relays
up to 150Arms, tables 3 and 4 apply (see page 3). offered by M&I Materials Ltd are given within this data sheet.

Step 2 - Identify the Metrosil type code Materials can recommend other Metrosils.
Using the maximum relay setting voltage and maximum To take advantage of this service, please supply the following
internal secondary fault current, identify the recommended information:-
Metrosil type code from tables 1 or 3. • Nominal rating of the CT (1A, 5A)
• Relay setting voltage (across the relay and stabilising
For a 1A CT, decide if a single pole or a triple pole (3-phase) resistor)
Metrosil type is required. • Maximum permissible leakage current at relay setting
voltage
Step 3 - Check the maximum permissible leakage • Maximum secondary internal fault current
• Maximum permissible clamping voltage under fault
At the relay setting voltage, check that the maximum conditions
leakage current for the identified Metrosil type is within the • Maximum fault time duration, if > 0.5 seconds
permissible limits of the relay system. • CT Ratio, particularly the secondary rating
