    1) Current transformers are designed for either metering or relay applications, with different ratings for accuracy and burden. Metering CTs operate at 80-90% power factor while relay CTs operate at 50% power factor. 2) IEEE standards define common metering burdens from 2.5VA at 0.1 ohms up to 45VA at 1.8 ohms. A metering CT rated as 0.3B-0.9 would have 0.3% accuracy and a 0.9 ohm burden. 3) Relay burdens are designated with a C or T, ranging from 12.5VA at 0.5 ohms to 200VA at 8 ohms.

    The Importance of Burden in Metering and Relay Applications

    Pictured is an ABB SCR current transformer typically used inside of switchgear.


    Here at ABB Pinetops, we are often asked about the burden of a current transformer being used in both
    metering and relay applications. The burden is actually the load on the secondary, but is referred to as
    burden to avoid confusion with the primary load.
    Current transformers are usually designed for either metering or relay applications. An example of this
    would be our 15kV CTs - the KON-11 for metering and the KOR-11 for relay applications. The KON11 has a higher rating factor and the KOR-11 has a greater relay accuracy.
    Let's take a look at metering burden first. Metering CTs typically operate at 80-90% power factor.
    IEEE C57.13, which governs instrument transformer standards, defines standard burdens according to
    the following:
    2.5VA @ 90% PF (B-0.1)
    5.0VA @ 90% PF (B-0.2)
    12.5VA @ 90% PF (B-0.5)
    22.5VA @ 90% PF (B-0.9)
    45.0VA @ 90% PF (B-1.8)
    The burden on a B-0.1 is 0.1 ohms. Likewise, the burden on the secondary of a B-1.8 is 1.8 ohms. You
    will see a metering CT identified as a 0.3B-0.9. This means that the CT meets the ANSI metering
    standard of 0.3% accuracy and has a burden of 0.9 ohms on the secondary.
    Relay accuracy is very similar to metering accuracy, with different nomenclature. Relay burdens are
    usually designated with a C (for Calculated) or a T (for Tested). Relay CTs are typically
    operated at 50% power factor. IEEE C57.13 defines relay burdens as:
    12.5VA @ 50% PF - 0.5 Ohms or C50
    25VA @ 50% PF - 1 Ohm or C100
    50VA @ 50% PF - 2 Ohms or C200
    100VA @ 50% PF - 4 Ohms or C400

    200VA @ 50% PF - 8 Ohms or C800


    A relay CT will be labeled C200 which means that it is capable of a maximum of 2 ohms on the
    secondary.
