Over voltage, severe under frequency, or add too large of a secondary burden (the last is what typically happens).
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.
A current transformer is used for measurement of alternating electric currents. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers are known as instrument transformers.
Yes, certain types of relays can be activated by current transformers.
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.
By direct from the manufacturer! Current & Potential Transformers
Transformer are passive devices thattransform AC to AC by magnetics and coupling. DC IS UNIDIRECTIONAL it does not change POLARITY. While it is possible to saturate a transformer primary it output cannot reflect the change since it has reached steady state
Direct electric current cannot be used to operate D. Transformers.
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.

transformers cannot amplify!
The most contributing factor to core losses in transformers is the material on which they are wound. Transformers wound on iron cores are roughly 75% efficient but they can transfer large amounts of power at low frequency. Transformers wound on ferrite are typically better then 90% efficient but can't be used to transfer the same amount of power unless the frequency is increased. Switch mode power supplies do this. After that, the voltage, impedance and current are all related. If you increase the current (by increasing the voltage) there are more losses because the magnetic field strength is not directly proportional to the current. The impedance remains the same for the same number of turns. Transformers are wound to the best compromise between efficiency and transfer capability. If you try to increase the voltage too much, the core will saturate and behave like a straight piece of wire.
I am aware that Class TPS current transformers have a Low Leakage Flux design
