rated CT Ratio. and over load and fault occur in between 2
lines line to line short circuit it is over currein fault.

Earth fault means fault occur between line to ground is
called Earth fault. used in power system

what is Over current, earth fault (O/C+E/F) ?..

Answer / k.prakashchandra

It is 2 OCR + EFR scheme for line protection.Usually OCR is
provided for R & B phases and EFR is connected between the
star point of CTs and star point formed by OCRs (R & B
phases) and direct lead from the third CT (Y phase). R &B
phase ct currents through the OCRs, and Y phase ct current
directly form the second star point.

on 22.03.2015 at 17:15hrs Y phase 66kV class Power Trf-2 Current transformer has flashed over and oil came out. The failed CT has been replaced on 24.03.2015 at 13:15hrs and the Trf has been charged in presence of RT Hassan after conducting the pre-commissioning tests. On the same day at 17:00hrs the commissioned CT has again flashed over and immediately the Trf  has been isolated from power supply. It is confirmed the secondary is not opened and checked the earth integrity and is found ok. Here what would be the reason for the CT failure?
