What is mean CT Saturation? How to calculate?

Answer Posted / munwar ali bhand

The CT saturates when we exceed load on CT greater than its VA burden capacity either in case of fault or during testing or normal operation. VA burden depends upon core material of CT used and depends upon B-H curve of the material. These ferromagnetic materials used have ability if they are over excited than they will loose their normal operation properties. in this why if we put more load than its VA capacity of CT than CT will saturate. means that it will not give you accurate results.
