A current transformer of turns ratio 200 has an exciting current of 2 A referred to the primary while the primary carries 200 A. The ratio error is about

  • A.plus 1 per cent
  • B.minus 2 per cent
  • C.minus 0.5 per cent
  • D.minus 1 per cent

Answer: D

Roughly, the component of the exciting current in phase with the primary is lost from the secondary, so the secondary reproduces only 198 of the 200 amperes and the ratio error is about one per cent negative. This is why turns compensation is applied.
