Knee pont voltage- briefly distinguish

Answer 1

The knee point voltage of a CT is the voltage at the "knee" of a I-V characteristic (if you increase voltage, and plot this voltage with respect to the current flow, you will see a logorithmic type response). The knee is usually specified as 10% distortion (ie, the voltage is 10% less than you would expect relative to the current flow). beyond the knee point, the CT is considered in saturation.

This applies to amplifiers / transistors as well as CTs. Transistors used as ampifiers are operated in the "linear region", or the region below the knee point of that particular transistors I-V characteristic.
