Q1. HOW TO CALCULATE CT CURRENT
Ans. 
CT current can be calculated by dividing the primary current by the turns ratio of the current transformer.
• CT current = Primary current / Turns ratio

• Primary current is the current flowing through the primary conductor

• Turns ratio is the ratio of the number of turns in the primary winding to the number of turns in the secondary winding
