Basic Features
Correct selection of current transformer is important
as the fundamental usage of CT is:
1) to obtain proportional current in accordance to
specify accuracy and objectives;
2) to insulate control & measuring /
protection from power circuit.
Application
Measuring current transformer is intended to supply
to indicative devices, integrated meter and similar

Rudolf Current Transformer
Important of burden
Burden is the impedance of the secondary circuit in ohms and power factor.
For the measurement instrument or protection relay operating via a transformer, in order to operate them,
the primary current has to induce the power required in the secondary current of the instrument or relay.
This induced power must be equal or higher than the losses in the power line + consumption of the measurement
instrument or protection relay.
The burden imposed on a current transformer consist mainly of:
- The impedance of pilot wire between current transformer and instruments/relay
- The impedance of the instrument / relay
- The sum of the above constitute the external burden required

Example:
In case of a 2000/5A class 1 5VA current transformer
For protection class current transformer, the accuracy class is designed by the highest permissible percentage
composite error at the accuracy limit primary current prescribed for the accuracy class concerned.
Accuracy class includes: 5P, 10P
Standard accuracy limit factor are: 5, 10, 15, 20, 30
By phase angle
Phase error is the difference in phase between primary & secondary current vectors, the direction of the vectors
to be zero for a perfect transformer.
You will experience a positive phase displacement when secondary current vector lead primary current vector.
Unit of scale expressed in minutes / centiradians.
Circular measure = (unit in radian) is the ratio of the distance measured along the arc to the radius.
Angular measure = (unit in degree) is obtained by dividing the angle subtended at the center of a circle
into 360 deg equal division known as “degrees".
