If the actual burden of the current transformer S
cannot be reduced low enough to provide a sufficient value for F
alternatives to deal with the situation.
1. A current transformer with a higher rated burden S
a higher rated accurate limit F
2. A current transformer with a higher nominal primary current I
burden) can be chosen.
Alternative 2 is more cost-effective and therefore often better, although the sensitivity of
the scheme is slightly reduced.
Example 2
Here the actions according to alternative 2 are taken to improve the actual accuracy limit
