Accuracy classes acc. to IEEE/ANSI C57.13 and CAN3-C13
Accuracy classes: 0.3 - 0.6 - 1.2
Measurement ranges: 1 - 1.33 - 1.5 - 2 - 3 - 4 x In

1.0 x In
1.5 x In
...
- without special indication

- factor 1.5 at indication of rated current
the specification of an accuracy limiting factor is unusual

Indication of power ratings: B 0.1 - B 0.2 - B 0.5 - B 0.9 - B 1.8
The rated power is not indicated directly. Instead of that the impedance of the rated burden
is mentioned on the name plate. The rated burden is always related to a secondary current
of 5 Amps.
B 0.5
rated burden = 0.5 Ohm
rated power = 25 x 0.5 = 12.5 VA
The required accuracy has to be maintained only with rated burden.

limits of errors under overcurrent conditions acc. to IEC 600 44-1
range of
rated current
Under overcurrent conditions the

downstream measurement devices
should be protected against
impermissible thermal overloadings
range of overcurrent
With rated burden (cos = 0.8) and

rated factor of security (FS) the
composite error has to result to
10% at least to the CT is under
saturated condition

Comparison of CTs for measurement and protection purpose
Measurement CT
Protection CT

downstream measurement devices
should be protected against
impermissible thermal overloadings

CT should work errorless as
possible ensuring a proper
protection function.
With rated burden (cos = 0.8)

and rated factor of security (FS) the
composite error has to result to
10% at least to the CT is under
saturated condition.
With rated burden (cos = 0.8) and

rated overcurrent the composite
error limits must be maintained.
The CT must not be under
saturated conditions.

Dimensioning
Measuring CTs should be dimensioned that the connected burden including the
connecting cables is not exceeding the rated CT-burden.
Low burdened CTs jeopardize the connected measurement devices because of a

non occurring saturation.
