Can I use measuring current transformers in protection
purposes?

Answer Posted / sangram

you can use a single CT but they have enclosed two
different cores which is desired one for metering & other
for Protection. the meaning of both words are very
different, we want to consider ISF( Instrument Security
Factor) for Metering & ALF( Accuracy Limit Factor) for
protection CT.

I am having a 42KW 3 phase electrical heating furnace, heating element is 80/20 nichrome material, my connections is made in such a way that 2 star connection compromising 2 coils per phase so totally 12 coils, shall if i use it unbalanced star condition (instead of 2 group of 3 phase or 1 group of 3 phase, connecting 4 phases of 5 phases) what will be the consequences and is it acceptable?
