protection. The basic requirements are:
Qualification a) All C.T.s should have identical turns ratios, if possible.
ISO 9001-2000 b) The knee point voltage of each C.T. should be at least 2xVs.
The knee point voltage is expressed as the voltage applied to
the secondary circuit with the primary open circuit which when
increased by 10% causes the magnetizing current to increase
by 50%.
c) C.T.s should be of the low leakage reactance type.
Most modern C.T.s are of this type and there is no difficulty in
