A CT becomes saturated when the induced secondary voltage is beyond the capabilities of the CT. Yes it is possible, if enough current is forced through the secondary to raise the voltage beyond the CT capability curve. Remember the CT has inherent resistance due to the secondary winding.
That said, to saturate strictly based on the CT resistance is unlikely. But it is still theoretically possible.

Why you use current transformer and rogowski coil both?
if you want to measure a wide range of current, example 1mA to 200A (if the device is intended for the metering and protection), normally CT and rocoil is used together, it is difficult to make rocoil sensitive in range of 1mA, but you can do the task with the CT, but the same CT gets saturated above 5A, in that case rocoil start measuring, since rocoil is air core it wont saturate.
What is a c200 current transformer?
This is a class of current transformers, and is a fairly low class. This has to do with what kind of burden can be placed on the secondary. A general rule is a C200 current transformer can supply ~200 volts at full ratio to its' secondary. If the burden (the CT resistance + cable resistance + relay or instrument resistance) times the maximum expected current is higher than 200 volts, the CT is likely to saturate. During multiple fault events, a CT may keep some magnetizing current causing CT saturation to be higher on a reclose event. Typically CT's are sized and their ratios are chosen to minimize saturation when feasible.
Why the secondary terminals of ct's are shorted when not in use?
The current in the secondary side of a CT (Current Transformer) is induced by the current flowing in the primary circuit. If the current continues to flow in the primary circuit and the CT is left "Open Circuit" then dangerous voltages can build up and cause damage to equipment when reconnected or personal injury by electric shock. Therefore, shorting the secondary terminals of the CT allows current to circulate taking flux with, thus reducing the building up of flux; the higher the flux the higher the emf (voltage) induced; E = Blv.
What is a shunted winding?
A winding that has several coils shorted together.
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.
Why potential transformers are open circuited?
Beacause CT is shorted so it is kept opened
Are shotguns primary in modern warfare 3?
no they are still secondarys
What is knee poit volt and what is c t saturation?
It is the maximum voltage across the secondary terminals beyond which a CT will saturate when it is loaded.If the CT gets saturated,the ratio of primary current to the secondary current will not be to the designed value.
What happen if measuring ct is used as protection ct?
This can be done, but is usually not done because a metering CT is made to be very accurate at expected load current levels. A protection CT is made to be accurate at fault current levels (which is often significantly above load current). If the CT is too small, and has too small of a ratio, the CT will likely saturate, which will skew the results the protective device expects to get. An example: a metering CT may have a ratio of 100:5 (made for 100A load current, which will produce 5 amps secondary current). Fault current levels may be ~10,000A. You'd expect the secondary output of a perfectly linear CT to be 500A. One way resistance of the cable connecting the protective device to the CT may be on the order of .5 - 2 ohms. Ignoring the resistance of the CT and connected devices, secondary voltages would reach 250 - 1,000 volts for a phase fault, and 500 - 2,000 volts for a ground fault. The biggest CTs may be rated for 800 volts output below the knee point, so this 100:5 CT would clearly saturate. The real output current would likely be on the order of 150A at the most. ...And the above is ignoring any DC offset, which would cause the CT to saturate at unpredictable AC current levels.
Why is burden not used in protection ct?
Generally accuracy at low current values isn't important for protective functions. The burden is taken into account when looking at the saturation curve and available short circuit current to insure the CT doesn't saturate during fault conditions.
Another word for saturate?
Synonyms for "saturate" : permeate, pervade, imbue, or soak.
Does it take longer to saturate a heated solution than a cold solution?
No, a heated solution will saturate faster.
