Ratio of secondary to primary phasor
Reciprocal of the primary phasor
Reciprocal of the secondary phasor

2. The 1000/5 A 50 Hz ring cored current converter has a bar primary. The secondary resistor (Burden) is a net resistance of 1 Ω and carries a turbulent current of 1 A at a power factor of 0.5. What will be its ratio error?
0.05%
– 0.05%
0.5%
– 0.5%
Answer.2. – 0.05%
Explanation:
The secondary burden is purely resistive.
∴ cos ϕ = 1,
ϕ = cos-1(1) = 0°
so, δ = 0°
The p.f of the exciting current is 0.5.
cos (90 – α ) = cos-1 (0.5)
90 – α = 60
α = 30
Exciting current I0 = 1 A
Nominal Ratio Kn = 1000/5 = 200
Since there is no turn compensation, the turn ratio is equal to the nominal ratio or n = Kn = 200.
When the primary winding carries a rated current of 1000 A.
Rated secondary Is = 5A
n Is = 200× 5 = 1000 A
Actual transformation ratio,
$\begin{array}{l} R = n + \frac{{{I_0}}}{{{I_s}}}sin(\delta + \alpha )\\ \\ = 200{\rm{\;}} + {\rm{\;}}\frac{1}{5}sin(0 + 30) \end{array}$
Ratio error = (Kn − R)/R
(200 − 200.1)/200.1
= −0.5%
3. For a C.T. the transformation ratio is given by which of the following relation?
R = Is/Ip
R = Ip/Is
R = 1/Is
R = 1/Ip
Answer.2. R = Ip/Is
Explanation:
In the current transformer, the transformation ratio of the instrument transformer is defined as the ratio of the magnitude of the actual primary phasor to the magnitude of the secondary phasor.
R = Rated Primary winding current/Rated secondary winding current
R = Ip/Is
where
R is the transformation ratio
Ip is the actual primary winding current
Is is the actual secondary winding current.
4. The ratio of transformation in the case of potential transformers
Increases with increases in power factor of secondary burden
Remains constant irrespective of the power of secondary burden
Decreases with increases in power factor of Secondary burden
None of the above
Answer.3. Decreases with increases in power factor of Secondary burden
Explanation:
The burden across the secondary of an instrument transformer is specified as V2/I2
The ratio of transformation in the case of potential transformers decreases with increases in the power factor of the Secondary burden.
The nominal ratio of an instrument transformer does not remain constant as the load on the secondary charges. It changes because of the effect of secondary current and this causes errors in the measurement. The specific loading at rated secondary winding voltage is specified such that the errors do not exceed the limits. Such a permissible load is called the burden of an instrument transformer.
5. For a P.T. the transformation ratio is given by which of the following relation?
R = Vs/Vp
R = Vp/Vs
R = 1/Vs
R = 1/Vp
Answer.2. R = Vp/Vs
Explanation:
In the Potential transformer, the transformation ratio of the instrument transformer is defined as the ratio of the magnitude of the actual primary phasor to the magnitude of the secondary phasor.
R = Rated Primary winding voltage/Rated secondary winding voltage
R = Vp/Vs
where
R is the transformation ratio
Vp is the actual primary winding voltage
Vs is the actual secondary winding voltage.
6. In a current transformer, the ratio of rated primary current to rated secondary current is called:
nominal ratio
ratio error
phase angle error
actual transformation ratio
Answer.1. nominal ratio
Explanation:
Nominal Ratio:
In instrument transformers, the nominal ratio is defined as the ratio of the rated primary winding quantity to the rated secondary winding quantity.
In current transformers, nominal ratio = rated primary current / rated secondary current
In potential transformers, nominal ratio = rated primary voltage / rated secondary voltage
Note:
Ratio error = (nominal ratio – actual ratio) / Actual ratio × 100
Actual transformation ratio = (Actual primary current) / (Actual secondary current)
7. Nominal ratio of an instrument transformer is defined as the __________
Reciprocal of the rated primary value
Ratio of rated secondary value to primary value
Reciprocal of the rated secondary value
Ratio of rated primary value to secondary value
Answer.4. Ratio of rated primary value to secondary value
Explanation:
Nominal Ratio:
In instrument transformers, the nominal ratio is defined as the ratio of the rated primary winding quantity to the rated secondary winding quantity.
In current transformers, nominal ratio = rated primary current / rated secondary current
In potential transformers, nominal ratio = rated primary voltage / rated secondary voltage
Note:
Ratio error = (nominal ratio – actual ratio) / Actual ratio × 100
Actual transformation ratio = (Actual primary current) / (Actual secondary current)
8. A 500 A/5A, 50 Hz current transformer has a bar primary. The secondary burden is a pure resistance of 1 Ω and it draws a current of 5 A If the magnetic core requires 250 AT for magnetization the percentage ratio error is
Ratio error = $ = \frac{{100 – 111.8}}{{111.8}} \times 100$
9. For a C.T. the nominal ratio is given by which of the following relation?
Kn = Vs(rated)/Vp(rated)
Kn = Vp(rated)/Vn(rated)
Kn = 1/Vp(rated)
Kn = 1/Vs(rated)
Answer.2. Kn = Vp(rated)/Vn(rated)
Explanation:
Nominal Ratio:
In instrument transformers, the nominal ratio is defined as the ratio of the rated primary winding quantity to the rated secondary winding quantity.
In potential transformers, nominal ratio = rated primary voltage / rated secondary voltage
Kn = Vp(rated)/Vn(rated)
where
R is the transformation ratio
Vp(rated) is the rated primary winding voltage
Vs(rated) is the rated secondary winding voltage.
10. Instrument transformers are known to introduce magnitude and phase errors in measurements. These are primarily due to
Improper connections on the primary side
Measurement errors inherent in the meter connected to the transfer secondary
Open and short circuit parameters of the instrument transformers
None
Answer.3. Open and short circuit parameters of the instrument transformers
Explanation:
Instrument transformers are known to introduce magnitude and phase errors in measurements. These are primarily due to the Open and short circuit parameters of the instrument transformers.
The secondary side of the current transformer is always kept short-circuitedin order to avoid core saturation and high voltage induction so that the current transformer can be used to measure high values of currents.
The current transformer works on the principle of shorted secondary
It means that the burden on the system Zb is equal to 0
Thus, the current transformer produces a current in its secondary which is proportional to the current in its primary.
11. Ratio correction factor of instrument transformer is defined as _________
Reciprocal of nominal ratio
Ratio of nominal ratio to transformation ratio
Ratio of transformation ratio to nominal ratio
Reciprocal of transformation ratio
Answer.3. Ratio of transformation ratio to nominal ratio
Explanation:
Ratio correction factor: The ratio correction factor is the transformation (actual) ratio divided by the nominal ratio.
R.C.F = Kactual /Knominal
It is a factor by which the turns ratio (nominal ratio) of the current transformers must be multiplied to get the true ratio of the current transformers.
