Question:medium

A current transformer has ratio 500/5. If the burden is 2 VA at rated secondary current, the corresponding burden impedance is

Show Hint

Always use the rated secondary current (the second number in the CT ratio, which is almost always 5 A or 1 A) to calculate secondary burden parameters. Using the formula \(Z = \frac{\text{VA}}{I_s^2}\) gives \(\frac{2}{25} = 0.08\ \Omega\).
