what's burden resistor, why it's used?..

Answer / laszlo juhasz

Burden resistors are connected to the secondary side of a
CT(Current Transformer)as a "load" and used for setting the
desired Voltage at the CT's secondary side.
Since CT's are made to transfer current in the amount of the
ratio between the Primary and Secondary turns (Np/Ns)
A 1:10 ratio CT at the secondary side will produce a ~10
times lower current at a ~10 times higher Voltage.
Adding a parallel resistor(burden) across the secondary side
will act as a load and results Voltage drop.

Dear sir, I am working in wind mill division , pls explain Pls explain in details with formula My question is Wind speed 3.5 M/s Gen RPM is 1500 ( 25 K/w Production ) Wind speed 12 M/s Gen RPM is 1500 ( 220 K/w Production ) Why in 3.5 m/s generation was low , why in 12 m/s generation was high , Pls dont explain wind force or wind density , that one already i know For the above question RPM was same why the KW was different Answer : 1. Its depends on the density ( Force ) of the air Sir , Pls explain wit Formula sir
