Critical data for Current Transformer Design and Calculation

Secondary Cores Definition
Size of cores depend among others on
Accuracy class & burden Transformation ratios Short circuit current

Size (and price) of CT depends on

Size of core box holding the cores Type of ratio changes

Misestimated requirements may lead to unnecessary costs

Secondary Cores Definition

Core definition is not possible without Class X parameters Input

Critical data for Current Transformer Design and Calculation

Secondary Cores Definition
For each Core with Class X : Vk, Io and Rct have to be defined
