The selection of CT Sizing is based on total connected load. If for example a Main CB of 2000 KVA Trafo is 4000 A -- then best selection would be 4000:5 -- this would match also in the Energy Meter (KWH Meter) with 800 as multiplier.

Explain differancnce between instrument current transformer and measuring current transformer?
Current transformer is a device used to measure the flow of current through a power system and the measured current is inputted to a protective relay system. It is used to detect system malfunction. Current transducer is a device used to measure AC and DC current based on the halt-effect technology.
How is current controlled in welding transformer?
in welding machine, the transformer used is basically a current transforrmer. so by changing the tap of secondary side of transformer, we can increase or decrease the current in the transformer.
Difference between potential transformer and current trasnformer?
The difference between current transformer and potential transformer is that the secondary of a current transformer can not be open circuited while under service whereas that of the potential transformer an be open circuited without any damage to the transformer.
What device can be used to increase current in a DC circuit?
Transformer or instrument transformer. It can increase and decrease current output.
Can you use transformer with your 110 aircon?
A transformer can be used to change the voltage to an appliance. The voltage rating of the transformer should be right for the voltages used, and the current rating of the transformer should not be less than the current drawn by the equipment.
What is the difference between a transformer and a rectifer?
A transformer is used to change the value of a voltage applied to the transformer's primary winding to a different voltage value taken from the transformers secondary winding. A rectifier is used to change an alternating current value to a direct current value.
What is the reason for using a neutral current transformer on a transformer?
A current transformer is primarily used at the neutral point of a transformer for earth fault protection. A neutral current transformer will measure any ground fault current which will essentially flow from the star point of the transformer. A fault-detection device other devices is connected to the current transformer and, if the fault current exceeds a certain trigger value, the fault-detection device will give a trip command to an earth-fault relay to disconnect the supply of electricity to the transformer.
What type of transformer connection can be used when it is necessary to rectify alternating current into direct current with a minimum of ripple?
bride transformer
Can a current transformer be used for current amplify?
transformers cannot amplify!
What type of current must be used with a transformer?
DC current cannot be used in a transformer only AC will work. A transformer needs the continual build and collapse of the magnetic field to keep the iron core from reaching saturation. Only alternating current will transfer power through a transformer.
What is the used of conductors in a transformer?
Without conductors, no current could flow -an essential requirement of a transformer!
Why transformer can not be used in dc supply?
The transformer cannot be used in the DC supply because it keeps on alternating its current, whereas the DC supply current should be constant.
