A CT, or current transformer, has a specified current ratio. The 5 in your question is the current supplied to the metering instrument at full scale. CT's current ratio is always full scale to 5, for instance - 200:5, 3000:5, etc.
So, if a CT has a ratio of, say, 1000:5, this means when the conductor being measured is supplying 1000 amperes to the load, the CT will output 5 amperes to the instrumentation. The relationship is linear, so if the current is 500 amperes, the output will be 2.5 amperes, at 200 amperes the output will be 1 ampere, etc.
This is done so the instrument can be designed always the same, with a 5 ampere input, no matter what size current is to be measured. Otherwise you would have to order (and manufacture) many different models of meter, one for each current range.
The metering must be set, or programmed, with the CT multiplier, so it knows how much current is really flowing when it sees 5 amperes on the input.
Similarly, we use PT's or potential Transformers to reduce higher system voltages to a range that the instrument can also handle.

How can calculate ct Tod meter kWh?
To calculate the current transformer (CT) ratio for a meter measuring kilowatt-hours (kWh), you need to know the primary current (the actual current flowing in the circuit) and the secondary current (the output current from the CT). The CT ratio is given by the formula: CT Ratio = Primary Current / Secondary Current. Once you have the CT ratio, you can use it to convert the readings from the secondary side to the primary side, which is essential for accurate energy measurement in kWh. Finally, ensure that the meter is calibrated according to the CT ratio for accurate readings.
What will happen if we use current transformer of different rating for each phase in three phase supply?
A current transformer has to have the same ratio as the meter that it drives. Full scale deflection on the meter is 5 amps which equals the maximum allowed current on the phase that it is reading. A different ratio on the CT to meter would show an erroneous reading on the meter depending on the ratio of the connected CT. To keep costs down the meter is common to all three phases and is read by connecting the meter to the phase CT through a three position switch.
What is the ratio of the energy a machine delivers to the energy supplied to it?
efficiencyThe ratio of useful energy to total input energy is called efficiency. It refers to the percentage of the work input that is converted to work output.

How do you calculate multiplying factor in 3 phase kwh meter using ct ratio is 600VA 5 class 5.0?
The question is incomplete, because there are no mention about CT & PT ratios. 600VA 5 can not be CT ratio.
How do you find the ratio of kinetic energy?
The answer depends on what two (or more) things the ratio is meant to compare. The kinetic energy of several objects? The kinetic energy of an object compared to its total energy? The kinetic energy compared to its engine size?
How will you define energy meter constant?
The energy meter constant is a value that is used to convert the reading from the energy meter (in watt-hours) to the actual energy consumption of a device or system. It is typically a fixed value that is specific to the energy meter being used and is determined during the calibration process.

How do you calculate multiplying factor in 3 phase kwh meter using c.t. ratio is 2505VA 5 class 5.0?
multiplying factor = Line CT Ratio / Meter CT Ratio Usually it is mentioned on Meter that MF = 1 if CT Ratio is 200/5 or MF = 2 if CT Ratio is 400/5. There can be an additional multiplication factor that would be mentioned on the meter.
What is meant by Bit energy to Noise ratio?
Bit Energy-to-Noise Density (Eb/N0) is the ratio of bit energy to noise density. This value is used to specify the lower limit of operation in most digital communications systems and is also used to measure radio channel performance.
What is the ratio of 15 centimeters to 1 meter?
To find the ratio of 15 centimeters to 1 meter, first convert 1 meter to centimeters, which is 100 centimeters. Then, the ratio is 15 centimeters to 100 centimeters, which can be simplified to 15:100. This reduces to 3:20 when both sides are divided by 5. Thus, the ratio of 15 centimeters to 1 meter is 3:20.
