Why current transformers are rated in BURDEN instead of VA?

Answer Posted / sivaraman

Oh pal the unit of burden itself is VA. it is said as burden
because the load is not desired(like power loss in
terminals,ammeters like that) which may affect the accuracy.
thats why the allowable burden is specified in CTs beyond
which it may lead remarkable inaccuracy.
