If the current ratio, burden and class are selected, the current transformer (CT) has
been specified basically. Of course additional requirements like type, frequency,
isolation level, maximal short circuit current and environmental conditions should
also be specified.
Accuracy
The accuracy of a current transformer depends among others of :
burden
class/saturation
load
frequency
temperature
Application
Class
0.1 - 0.2
Protection (P)
ANSI/IEEE
IEC (5 A CTs)
C100
25VA, 5P20
C200
50VA, 5P20
C400
100VA, 5P20
C800
200VA, 5P20
Notes:
- C400 and C800 can be very large CTs
Divide burden (VA) by 5 for 1 A CTs
If the maximum continuous current is 1124 A (50 Hz), then the current
transformer specification for protection could be: 1250/1 A, 10 VA, 5P20
The accuracy class is only applicable if the total load including cable losses is
approximately equal to the current transformer burden.
If the burden of a current transformer for metering is much higher than the
load, instruments and devices could be damaged if short circuit occurs
somewhere.
