Could anyone clarify my wondering.
What is the difference between knee point voltage and
saturation voltage of the CT.
Is their any formula to calculate these values?

Answer Posted / john bosco

knee point voltage definition
when applying voltage in secondary gradually from zero
and measuring current for step voltages, the current raise maintains constant slope up to some level of voltage.
for further raise in voltage secondary current raise do not follow the slope.
the voltage from which 10 % raise gives 50% raise in secondary current called as knee point voltage of current transformer(IEC standard)

saturation voltage is maximum secondary voltage developed across ct for any primary current

protection class CT
formula for VK= Is.ALF.(Rct+Rb)
Is- rated secondary current
ALF- accuracy limit factor
Rct- measured secondary resistance
Rb - rated burden of CT

at work we have a 3 phase motor but on testing one phase isnt getting a reading. it runs 24 hours a day all week. stops and starts well no noise or heating. the phase isnt down to earth.is it just a bad meter reading or not? phases one and three came up with a resistance reading of 0.4 but phase 2 couldnt get anything shows up as open circuit.

I have a current transformer with 1 main reading meter with transformer outside the building and a control panel having 5 CT reading meters with black round coils inside the building. I want to know, A) when current pass through the Transformers, will the current be reduced or be the same and after that B) when current pass through the CT meters with black round coils, will the current be reduced or be the same. C) in the above process will the reading of the main meter be same or different, from the total reading of all the 5 CT meters.
