Neutral CTs are used to measure neutral current, which is indicitive of a problem on the power system that protective equipment should interrupt. A similar question would be "why use phase CTs...". Because they can be used to tell the protective device that something is abnormal, and action should be taken.
Neutral CTs can be used for several different things - overcurrent tripping, polarizing, and zone limiting (as in restricted earth fault protection for transformer differentials).

Where is 5P20 CT used and where is Class PS CT used?
5P20 CT give more accuracy than PS class CT. 5P20 cant be used in unit protection. Class PS CT is a protection class ct. It is used for differtial proction,distance (UNIT)proction.

Differential CT on live and neutral terminal?
A differential CT measures the difference in current between two terminals. When placed on the live and neutral terminals, the CT will detect any imbalance in current flow between them, which can indicate faults or leakage to ground in the system. This can be used for protective relaying or ground fault detection applications.
What is neutral grounding resistor panel?
A neutral grounding resistor panel is used to resist fault current to the ground. It is used for alternator protection protection purposes. When a fault occurs in the alternator, the panel helps force the current to the ground.
Class px ct?
Class PX is the definition in IEC 60044-1 for the quasi-transient CT formerly covered by Class X of BS-3938, commonly used with unit protection schemes. These are Protection CTs used for Earth fault protection. Knee point voltage is an important parameter for these type of CTs. Shaikh
What is the function of neutral CT?
A CT is a current transformer, used to measure current flow in a conductor. Neutral is power return, usually grounded at the distribution panel. A neutral CT, then, is a device that measures the current flow in the neutral conductor. In a three phase star system, each phase returns current to neutral, but the three phases cancel each other out, resulting in effectively zero current in neutral. The neutral CT is used to detect an imbalance in the system, perhaps caused by a ground fault or by some failure in one of the phase loads. In a single phase, single ended system, there is current on neutral, so the value of a neutral CT is not so great. If you also had a hot CT, you could compare and detect imbalance between hot and neutral, which would be an indication of a ground fault. (Actually, a ground fault current interrupting device, also called a GFCI, usually compares current in hot and neutral simultaneously, because both conductors are wound together as the sensing transformer primary - any perceived current is a ground fault.) In a single phase, double ended system, such as the 120/240 split phase system used in the US, a current CT could indicate ground fault or a system imbalance but, usually, imbalance might be a normal situation as various loads are turned on and off.
Will REF protect the outgoing cables when the Ct's are fitted at the 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.

What is the difference between CT and PT?
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
What is The operation of Current Transformer?
CT together with a ammeter is used to measure the current in high current or high voltage circuit, where a normal ammeter can not be connected in series in such high voltage or high current circuits. It is a secondary winding (like in transformer) wound on a single core primary wire and relative secondary current reperesnets the primary current. CT are also used protection purposes. Basic principle of CT i same either for metring or protection.
How does a transformer protect an appliance?
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.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN C800 CT AND TPS CLASS CT?
C800 CT is a type of current transformer that is commonly used for metering and protection applications. TPS class CT refers to a specific accuracy class for current transformers that comply with ANSI standards. The main difference between the two is the design and accuracy specifications, with TPS class CT typically having higher accuracy levels.
