The burden on a CT is the sum total impedance connected to the secondary - including the CT secondary winding coil resistance, lead resistance, and any loads attached (relays, meters, etc.).
If this is for power calculations and CT saturation in three phase systems, remember you must multiply the lead resistance by two to get the total path resistance.
Another Answer
We use the word, 'burden', to describe the load supplied by the instrument transformer's secondary. This is normally a measuring instrument or protection relay. We use the word 'burden' to distinguish it from the 'load' supplied by the circuit to which the primary winding is connected.

∙ 11y agoCTs are designed to provide a specified maximum output power in volt-amperes (VA). This is what the CT burden is.
Another AnswerIt's necessary to distinguish between the load being supplied by the circuit to which the primary winding of an instrument transformer is connected, and the 'load' supplied by that instrument transformer's secondary winding (e.g. a measuring instrument or protective relay). To ensure there is no confusion between the two, we use the term 'burden' rather than 'load' to describe what is connected to the instrument transformer's secondary winding.

Why secondary windings of current transformers are shorted?
Current transformers (CTs) -together with voltage (or potential) transformers- are 'instrument transformers'. CTs are used to enable large currents flowing in high-voltage systems to be measured, while electrically-isolating the ammeter (termed a 'burden') from the h.v. system. They are also used to monitor h.v. currents for high-voltage protection systems. Before disconnecting its burden, the secondary of a CT must be short-circuited, and remain short-circuited until after the burden has been replaced. This is because a dangerously-high voltage will appear across the open terminals of any energised CT.
What are the limitations of current transformers?
low accuracy
What do you mean lagging in electrical?
Lagging means the current is out of phase, lagging behind, the voltage. This occurs when there is inductive reactance in the circuit, such as with motors and transformers.
Type of transformers used in gas insulated substation?
Current transformer and voltage transformer . This transformers are actually measuring instruments which measures the quantity of current and voltage coming out of the substation.
How do you reduces ac no lode current in transformers?
Disconnect the primary source.
Why PT Burden is always higher than CT Burden?
PTs are high voltage, low current transformers and so need a relatively high impedance (or burden) load to function accurately. CTs are high current, low voltage (if not open circuited!) transformers and so need a very low impedance load to function accurately.

What are the functions of current transformers and the difference between current transformers and voltage transformers?
To sense the current flow across the current transformers and to monitor the current ratings. In current transformers no voltage variations occurs. but in voltage transformers it is mainly used to increase or decrease the voltage value.
How do you make current transformers to saturate?
Over voltage, severe under frequency, or add too large of a secondary burden (the last is what typically happens).

Who would need to utilise current transformers?
A current transformer is used for measurement of alternating electric currents. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers are known as instrument transformers.
Can we drive relays by current transformers?
Yes, certain types of relays can be activated by current transformers.
Are Transformers used in circuits with Direct Current?
No. Transformers are used in circuits with Alternating Current. Transformers work on the principle of a "changing" magnetic field inducing a current in a conductor, and you don't get that "changing" field with Direct Current.
Acids conduct electric current by forming what?
By direct from the manufacturer! Current & Potential Transformers
What if transformer excitation current increases gradually?
Totally transformers are not real but there planet is real but it is full of dark energy.Anyway if they we're real then you can call the transformers i mean autobot's
Current Transformers Manufacturers?
Macroplast Transformers is a leading Current Transformers Manufacturers in India. Current transformers are devices that transform higher current value to lower current value. Current transformers provide galvanic isolation from the voltage on the primary winding while simultaneously creating a power signal that has been converted to a standard level, which in turn permits the use of standard measurement instruments and relays.
