What will happen if we use current transformer of different rating for each phase in three phase supply?

A current transformer has to have the same ratio as the meter that it drives. Full scale deflection on the meter is 5 amps which equals the maximum allowed current on the phase that it is reading. A different ratio on the CT to meter would show an erroneous reading on the meter depending on the ratio of the connected CT. To keep costs down the meter is common to all three phases and is read by connecting the meter to the phase CT through a three position switch.


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 are the difference between 0.2 and 0.2S class in metering CT?

The 0.2S class is more accurate in meter reading than the 0.2 class. The 0.2S class is now mandatory for all meter reading.


What is meant by energy meter having ct ratio 5?

A CT, or current transformer, has a specified current ratio. The 5 in your question is the current supplied to the metering instrument at full scale. CT's current ratio is always full scale to 5, for instance - 200:5, 3000:5, etc.So, if a CT has a ratio of, say, 1000:5, this means when the conductor being measured is supplying 1000 amperes to the load, the CT will output 5 amperes to the instrumentation. The relationship is linear, so if the current is 500 amperes, the output will be 2.5 amperes, at 200 amperes the output will be 1 ampere, etc.This is done so the instrument can be designed always the same, with a 5 ampere input, no matter what size current is to be measured. Otherwise you would have to order (and manufacture) many different models of meter, one for each current range.The metering must be set, or programmed, with the CT multiplier, so it knows how much current is really flowing when it sees 5 amperes on the input.Similarly, we use PT's or potential transformers to reduce higher system voltages to a range that the instrument can also handle.

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.

Why a 5amp. rating ammeter is connected to secondary side of current transformer?

The maximum current output of a CT is 5 amps. Connected to a meter this will be full scale. What ever the ratio of the CT will dictate the scale face on the meter. A 500 amp CT's output will be 5 amps at 500 amps on the buss. 250 amps on the buss, the CT will output 2.5 amp or half scale on the meter face.


How do you calculate three phase meter reading in kWh with ct coils?

If, Ct value = 50 meter unit = 30 so, 50 x 30 = 1500 kwh


What is the ct multiplier?

A CT multiplier is the ratio of current trough a CT to the output of a CT. Example: A 200/5 Multiplier means that the cable passing through the CT must see 200A to provide a 5A output to the reading meter. The reading meter will then display 200A on it's display but it of course is only seeing 5A itself. Many digital meters have selectable Multipliers so you don't have to stock a wide selection of meters.

Do the risks outweigh the benefits for a ct scan?

The devil is in the details. CT scans can and do save lives. CT scans can and do cause cancer. The appropriate use of the CT scan is safe and effective in modern healthcare. The inappropriate use of CT scans is a major public health concern.
