Answer / arun
Selection of CT for protection is majorly depends on the
burden limit and Kneepoint voltage at which the core of the
CT gets saturated,after which it cannot produce the
tripping emf in its core.
So check the burden of CT and kneepoint voltage.

Answer / felixraj
the only diff is the knee point voltage
in metering CT this value is very low, because of this
during fault condition the ct get saturated and o/p almost zero
(metering equipments are protected from fault surge)
protection miss leads in metering CT (it may fails or
nuisance tripping)

Answer / mohammad
Metering and protection CTs have different accurecy class
level as metering CT has 1 class level and for protection
itis represented by 5P,10P etc..

Introduction to Protection Transformers
Protective Current Transformers are designed to measure the
actual currents in power systems and to produce
proportional currents in their secondary windings which are
isolated from the main power circuit. These replica
currents are used as inputs to protective relays which will
automatically isolate part of a power circuit In the event
of an abnormal or fault condition therein, yet permit other
parts of the plant to continue in operation.

whenever any squirrel or a crow falls on the transformer input line then there is a big explosion and 440 volts of power is being discharged through the neutral line due to which appliances in off mode are also burned.we have earthing for the transformer as well as the bus bar chamber.why is it happening?
how do the stepper motor works.
1 sq mm conductor=? how many amps
if d gen is 50kw,load is 60 kw,hw d gen ll supply d remaining power?
what do you mean by earth fault in transformer?
As per BIS, Earth pit resistence value?
I want to know in body earthing which material can be use either copper plate or GI plate please guide us which is best option.

we convert 66kv to 33 kv to 11kv to 440v. why can't we directly convert 33kv to 440 ?
How we can calculate the consumption in kwh of motor on basis of kw @100% load, @50% load & @ no load.
