CT (Current Transformer ) ratio is depends on rated full load current / control current. normally 5A for secondary.

PT (Potential Transformer ) ratio is depends on rated primary voltage / control voltage. normally 110V for secondary.

Accuracy class & VA Burden needs to be checked as per application.

Where can i accomidate (arrangement of IT's) CT & VTs to detect the fault in circuit?

Is 5P20 CT Core is enough to detect the fault / Class X core required?

Dear,

At the input of the feeder terminal you can connect ct / pt .

5P10 / 5P15 would also be enough , but all that depends upon the fault levels.

What is the size of feeder ? rating of transformer ? length of feeder ?
