Q#2 Instrument Transformer GATE EE 2006 (Set 1) MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

A 200/1 current transformer (CT) is wound with 200 turns on the secondary on a toroidal core.  When it carries a current of 160 A on the primary, the ratio and phase errors of the CT are found to be -0.5% and 30 minutes respectively.  If the number of secondary turns is reduced by 1 the new ratio error (%) and phase error (min) will be respectively

0.0, 30

−0.5, 35

−1.0, 30

−1.0, 25

Q#9 Instrument Transformer GATE EE 1991 (Set 1) MCQ +1 mark -0.33 marks

Precautions are essential for ensuring that the secondary of a CT is not open circuited when the primary circuit carries a current because

Dangerously high voltage might develop across the secondary

The ferromagnetic core may develop residual magnetism

The reflected impedance may prevent the flow of current in the primary circuit

None of the above
