Why C.T secondary s2 done earthing? ..

Answer / henry vakharia

Current transformers are classified in two categories viz.
protection and measuring classes.
In protection relay, the earth fault is detected from the
earthed terminal or say the common terminal shorted
together and then grounded, which makes the relay detect
the earthfault other than its core function of protecting
equipments from high voltage surges.
In measuring relay, the C.T. is grounded to give protection
from the primary high voltages surges.

Answer / d.lakshmi narayana

IN HT IN CT SECONDARY SOME VOLTAGE GENERATED.THIS IS ACTUAL

CURRENT OPERATED COIL IS SOME TIMES IT WAS DAMAGED OR
SUPPOSE U R USING INTEGRATED RELAY SOME TIMES IT WAS DAMASED
THAT'S WHY THE CT SECONDARY IS EARTHED OTHERVICE MORE
VOLTAGE IS COMIG SOME TIMES THE CT OPERATED RELAY WAS
