Abstract
The Current transformer is classified measuring CT and protective CT for their purpose. The measuring CT is required to retain a specified accuracy over the normal range of load currents, but the protective CT must be capable of providing an adequate output over wide range of fault condition. Therefore, the protective CT must determine the transient performance during fault condition. This paper measured peak instantaneous error of the TPY class CT to determine the transient performance directly and indirectly and studied the test results.
