I. Permissible Operating Conditions for Current Transformers Rated Output Capacity: Current transformers (CTs) must operate within the rated output capacity specified on their nameplate. Operation beyond this rating reduces accuracy, increases measurement errors, and causes inaccurate meter readings, similar to voltage transformers. Primary Side Current: The primary current may continuously operate up to 1.1 times the rated current. Prolonged overload operation increases measurement errors and m

I. Normal Operation of Voltage Transformers A voltage transformer (VT) may operate long-term at its rated capacity, but under no circumstances should it exceed its maximum capacity. The secondary winding of a VT supplies high-impedance instruments, resulting in a very small secondary current, nearly equal to the magnetizing current. The voltage drops across the leakage impedances of both primary and secondary windings are therefore very small, meaning the VT operates close to no-load under norma
