What is mean CT Saturation? How to calculate?

Answer Posted / ayub

CT saturation is a term used to describe the state wherein
a CT is no longer able to reproduce an output current in
propotional to its primary current or as per its Ratio
The basic reason for CT saturation is due to the property
of the core which goes to magnetic sturation due to number
of reasons like large primary current or high burden at
the secondary or an open circuit in the secondary

The saturation can be found out in the following way
Apply voltage to the secondary windings of CT and gradually
increase the voltage noting down the current . initially
you will find that voltage and current are following a
leniear path and as you increase the voltage you will find
a point where 10% increase in voltage results in 50%
increase in current . This point is practically taken as
saturation point

We are preparing another project which involves Waste heat recovery from a 1 MW GE Engine. The Engine in particular gives out flue gas at 487Deg C with a flow rate of 5650 kg/hour and this can be cooled to 180 Deg C. This gives a thermal output of ~ 594 KW that is available for input to VAM via heat exchanger / boiler. Additionally 581 KW will be available from engine jacket water (temperature profile 80/ 80 Deg C and a flow rate of 50m3/hr) Our estimation is that 300 TR of cooling is possible with a suitable VAM machine(s). Please advise what is the most suitable arrangement with maximum TR and min Capital expenditure. plz reply me as early as possible
