The burden of an instrument transformer is

  • A.the insulation level of its primary winding
  • B.the voltage it can withstand across its secondary
  • C.the impedance of the connected instruments and wiring
  • D.the primary current it is designed to measure

Answer: C

Correct answer: the impedance of the connected instruments and wiring

Burden is the load an instrument transformer is asked to drive, expressed as an impedance or as volt-amperes at rated secondary current or voltage. It matters because the ratio and phase angle errors depend on it, so an instrument transformer is only accurate within the burden range for which it is specified.
