Mr. RK is partially right.... I will tell you clearly...
CTs are of 3 types depending on their usage... they are
1. Metering 2.Protection & 3. Special Protection(PS)
Metering & Protection CTs name itself self explanatory.
In metering CTs our main aim is to measure the currents
without damaging the instruments (i.e. Ammeters) connected
to it... so at fault levels (i.e. high currents) the
secondary also indicates corresponding heavy currents... so
the meter connected to it will gets damaged... (A 5A
ameeter can't measure 50A)... inorder to make the meter
safe... we will prepare the core of the meter in such a way
that at faults currents the metering CT core gets
saturated... and it will not induce any more current in the
CT secondary... so the current in secondary ckt. is ZERO.
So the meter is safe... THIS METERING CT WILL BE WORKING
WITHIN NORMAL RANGE OF CURRENT AND WILLNOT WORK IN FAULT
CONDITIONS (IT WILL NOT GIVE OUTPUT).
Where as Protection CT will have to work only in fault
condition. Because the line has to be protected in fault
condition only. The core of this CT is made in reverse to
that of metering CT. It will not saturate in fault
condition and still give the output to the relay...
Thats why Metering CT can't be used for protection
purpose... and protection CT can be used for metering but
it will not meet the accuracy requirements (If accuracy
requiremets are compulsory... prot CT can't be used for
metering)

what is the difference between droop mode and ischnorous mode in thermal powerplant?
a)In a 3-phase 4-wire circuit, a circuit breaker is selected to protect the circuit whose highest fault level is 6.6 MVA. Determine the required minimum breaking capacity in kA. (Note: Covert 3-phase power in terms of kA to find answer.) b)Using the below, determine the required minimum making capacity in kA as a “peak value”. Rate breaking capacity (Icn) ka: Icn<= 1.5 Factor = 1.41 1.5
