Answer / dinesh

CT has primary and secondary, Normally in industries most
of line cable is reffered as primary and your CT coil is
secondary. if you have a CT of 250/5 that means when there
will be a flow of 250A current in your primary side then
you will obtain 5A current on secondary side. Now if you
divide 250 by 5 you will get the CT ratio that is 50. now
if you obtain 3A in secondary that menas 3A mutiply by CT
ratio That is 50 you will get 150A flowing through primary.
your CT is used for protection as well as metering purpose.

Dear All, In a 400V power system, ratio of three current transformers installed incoming switchgear is 4000/1. Maximum three phases short circuit current of this system is 48kA. One CT is installed on neutral of upstream transformer (6/0.42kV, solidly earthed) for 51G protection. Would you please inform me about the correct CT ratio of this current transformer (on neutral)?? Thanks a million
