can we use metering current transformer as protection
current transformer if not why? & if yes why?

Answer Posted / felixraj

the only diff is the knee point voltage
in metering CT this value is very low, because of this
during fault condition the ct get saturated and o/p almost zero
(metering equipments are protected from fault surge)

protection miss leads in metering CT (it may fails or
nuisance tripping)
