Why CT secondary should not be kept open?

Answer Posted / seema

If we kept the secondary of current transformer open, current in the secondary side will be zero, voltage get increased so it will worked as a VT. At the primary side current is maximum so maximum flux will get inducced in the primary side & zero in the secondary side.so, in that case the difference between the primary flux & secondary flux will be more so the counter balance between that 2 flux is impossible.Result will be increased in primary current, increased in core losses.

following are the questions asked in interviews: 1) Considering the short circuit fault, which switchgear is preferable, SFU OR MCCB? Which operates faster? whicg one is popular in Indian Market and why? 2)Define SCPD. What is type2 coodination? 3)Why the contactor rating is higher for the fuseless selection than for fuse selection? whether the ratinf of SFU or MCCB remains the same in both the cases? 4)If the HP rating is known then can you calculate the ratings of L.V Switchgear(SFU/MCCB, contactor, OLR) without using the selection chart?
