A current transformer has 400 secondary turns and a single primary turn. Its nominal ratio for a five ampere secondary is

  • A.80/5
  • B.5/2000
  • C.2000/5
  • D.400/5

Answer: C

Correct answer: 2000/5

A current transformer is a step-up in turns and a step-down in current, so 400 secondary turns against a single primary turn gives a current ratio of 400 to 1. With 5 A in the secondary the primary carries \( 400\times5 = 2000 \) A, and the nominal ratio is written 2000/5. Reading the turns count as the primary rating gives the 400/5 offered.
