CT ratio is the ratio of primary (input) current to secondary (output) current. A CT with a listed ratio of 4000:1 would provide 1A of output current, when the primary current was 4000A.

How do you calculate multiplying factor in 3 phase kwh meter using c.t. ratio is 2505VA 5 class 5.0?

multiplying factor = Line CT Ratio / Meter CT Ratio Usually it is mentioned on Meter that MF = 1 if CT Ratio is 200/5 or MF = 2 if CT Ratio is 400/5. There can be an additional multiplication factor that would be mentioned on the meter.

The taper ratio of a wing is the ratio between the tipchord and the rootchord: ct/cr


How do you calculate multiplying factor in 3 phase kwh meter using ct ratio is 600VA 5 class 5.0?

The question is incomplete, because there are no mention about CT & PT ratios. 600VA 5 can not be CT ratio.


What ratio ct to use for a 250 to 5 rated kwh meter?

The ratio would be a 50:1 current transformer.


Why the CT secondary short circuited?

Current transformers produce a ratio of primary current in the secondary. If the secondary of a CT is open circuited, and primary current is flowing, the CT will try to push that same ratio of current through the secondary open circuit. This causes secondary voltage to climb until it the secondary open circuit flashes over. This can often damage the CT.


What is acceptable ratio error for 5P20 class ct?

A 5P20 CT has a guaranteed error of less than 5% at 20 times it's rated current (in this case 5A, so at 100A), when it's secondary burden is at it's nominal VA rating. The acceptable ratio error has to allow the CT to perform within these bounds to be declared a 5P20 CT.

What is cl PS current transformer?

CL of a CT is its accuracy class.. it is an approximate measure of the CT's accuracy. e.g. The ratio (primary to secondary current) error of a Class 1 (CL:1.0) CT is 1% at rated current


What does CL of a current transformer signifies?

CL of a CT is its accuracy class.. it is an approximate measure of the CT's accuracy. e.g. The ratio (primary to secondary current) error of a Class 1 (CL:1.0) CT is 1% at rated current


What is a multi ratio transformer?

A multi ratio CT is just that, it's a CT that has multiple secondary taps. An example is a 1200/5, 5 tap CT, which can be set to many ratios between 100/5 and 1200/5.


Is ct step up or step down?

'CT' is used to designate current transformers, and 'PT' is used to designate potential transformers. A current transformer provides a ratio of primary current to the secondary. A potential transformer provides a ratio of primary voltage to the secondary. A power transformer (step up or step down) resembles a PT more than a CT.
