A metering current transformer of instrument security factor 5 is rated 100/5. On a fault of 4000 A the secondary current will be at most about

  • A.25 A
  • B.200 A
  • C.500 A
  • D.5 A

Answer: A

The security factor limits the secondary to five times its rated value, so 25 A, because the core saturates well before the fault current is reached. Without that saturation the instruments would see two hundred amperes and be destroyed.
