Why current transformers are rated in BURDEN instead of VA?

Answer Posted / 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)
