Which Current transformer will be bigger in size, 400/5 or 400/1 & why?..

Answer / mohammed ashwaq

The above said logic is true when we are talking about a single wire or cable, but here we are discussing about one CT as a single entity. according to me, in 400/5 the secondary is being reduced to 5 amps and in 400/1 the secondary is 1 amps, more no of windings are required to go down to 1 amps rather than to 5 amps. so size of 400/1 will be higher when compared to 400/5 CT. intelligent suggestions are appreciated.

Answer / rahul madhoiya

4000/5,because I is inversely propotional to R acoording to
ohms law,and also R is inversely propotional to area,so if
I is higher size is greater,

an amazing situation was faced when an alive distribution panel with 415 volts and carrying almost 200Amps has become short and this metal cubical showing 220 volts against neutral and earth. to redress any confusion i checked the panel with help of single 200watts test lamp which also glowing with max.intensity b/w neutral & metal body of DB. amazing situation is that i hold the DB firmly more than once with necked foot means without insulated shoes but not received any electrical shock. whereas our all running gen sets neutral points also proper grounded and this short DB was completely earthed , this is beyond my understanding . any body explain how is it possible . our running gen set neutral also grounded firmly
