The difference in between Ohms and Ohms CT is that in Ohms CT it has CT at the end.
'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.
A transformer. it steps up / down voltage, and steps down / up current.
If the protection relay and CT installed for away, then it is advised to install 1A CT rather than 5A CT. Because of lower amps it will reduce the losses on the cable. p = i^2.R
Normally current transformers are used for two things . For measuring and protection. Whenever the CT is a protection CT it will be connected with the protection relays and there will be setting in the relays based on our requirement. when the current pass through the relays are more than the setting range then relay will send the tripping signal to the breaker available in the system to isolate the fault section. Finally the CT is not protecting the system. it will transfer the high primary current from the system to relay as small secondary current.
CT=========current transformer PT=========potential transformer these are the instrumental transformers.
First isolate the transformer
A ct is a step up transformer where as a pt is a step down transformer because both are used for measurement and protection purpose . current is stepped down if the secondary windings are more so we can obviously say thar ct is step up transformer

REF protection, when installed and set correctly, will protect everything within the CT's. If the CTs are on breakers, then yes, the cables from the transformer to the breakers will be in the zone of protection. If the CTs used are in the bushings of the transformer, then no.
Secondry of CT should never kept open during functioning
use of CT
CT (Current Transformer ) is essential whether is electronic relay or electromagnetic relay. A relay requires the CT to sense the line current.
A transformer. it steps up / down voltage, and steps down / up current.
a: 1:1 ratio its only purpose is to isolate
