    CR Magnetics Pi Selecting Ansi Class

    Milton Sepúlveda
    ANSI class current transformers are commonly used for metering and power usage applications where high accuracy is required. The key selection criteria is the burden placed on the secondary winding, as this determines the transformer's accuracy rating. Transformers are rated according to their accuracy within different burden ranges, with lower burdens providing higher accuracy down to 0.3% for a 0.1 ohm burden. The accuracy ratings only apply for readings between 20-100% of full scale, below which the accuracy decreases significantly.
