Why current transformers are rated in BURDEN instead of VA?..

Answer / sivaraman

Oh pal the unit of burden itself is VA. it is said as burden
because the load is not desired(like power loss in
terminals,ammeters like that) which may affect the accuracy.
thats why the allowable burden is specified in CTs beyond
which it may lead remarkable inaccuracy.

Answer / kundan malani

bcz they are low rating so the BURDEN instead of VA... and VA depends in voltage and current

Why current transformers are rated in BURDEN instead of VA?..

Answer / anmol

first thing is that the unit of burden is VA. and CT's are rated in BURDEN.
normally ct operate with its secondary terminal short circuited but however loading effect of measuring instrument is seen. this terminated impedance is known as burden.
burden = I*V
= I*(I*R)

HR- Q.1 Name,hobbies & About family background ? Q2.What u know abt NTPC ?? Q3.Why u want to choose NTPC as ur Carrier's starting i.e power sector not any other Oragnisation or sector ?? Techincal Questions- Q1.What is the reason for transformer Noise ?? Q2.Which material is used for making Transformer oil & How u measure its dielectric strength & Name the test ? Q.3 Which Machine u will prefer 2 use if flammble gases are coming out at a place & why ?? Q4.What is relation b/w Transmission Lines & Communication Lines ? Q5.What is the maximum capacity Synchronus Machine & total powerGeneration in our country ? Q.6 In india Power generation is at 50Hz while in America its 60 hz ,why so ?? Advantage or disadvantage ?? Q.7 Maximum Generation Voltage in india ? Q8. What is the Voltage regulation & why its required n how much is permissible ? & causes of voltage variation ?? Q.9 Why electric shock is feel ?? n in a Electric Train why we didnt feel that ? Q.10 Have u seen/ experience of any power plant/ industry related to the power sector ? so these are the questions which not too diffcult i think was asked to me.
