Which of the following would NOT reduce the errors of a current transformer?

  • A.increasing the length of the secondary leads
  • B.using a core of higher permeability and lower loss
  • C.reducing the burden by removing an unused instrument
  • D.applying turns compensation to the secondary winding

Answer: A

Correct answer: increasing the length of the secondary leads

Longer leads mean more resistance and therefore more burden, which increases both the ratio and the phase angle error - as the earlier burden items show, the effect goes as the square of the secondary current. The other three all reduce the errors: a better core needs less magnetising current, removing an unused instrument lightens the burden, and turns compensation cancels the ratio error at the working point.
