Application Data

To obtain current measurement:

For higher accuracy or higher VA burden rating:

• ■Pass the wire carrying the current to be measured through the window of the CT transformer (acting as a primary winding).
• ■Connect the CT secondary to an ammeter with a 5 A movement.
• ■Choose a CT with a primary which is a multiple of the required primary rating and which has the accuracy or VA burden you require.
• ■Loop the wire carrying the current to be measured through the window a number of times equal to the multiple. This "winding" will reduce the ratio back to required primary rating. Example "A": To obtain an accuracy of 1.2% at 10VA burden with a ratio of 100:5, use a CT400 and loop 4 primary turns through the window. Example "B": To obtain a 25:5 ratio, use a CT75 with 3 primary turns to yield 2% accuracy or a CT50 with 2 primary turns to yield 3.2% accuracy.
