CT Secondary Voltage 2

[Jim0505]

Greetings,

I have some difficulties understanding the CT secondary voltage. I don't quite understand why CT secondary voltage is affected by the burden. The magnetic flux in the core is induced by primary current flowing through the CT and primary current is "constant" (generated by the power system source),say, i=Im*sin(wt). Therefore, d(magnetic flux generated by primary current)/dt should be the same regardless of the CT burden values, so is the induced secondary voltage (Esecondary=N*d(flux)/dt).But by looking at the CT equivalent circuit, it makes sense that the CT secondary circuit voltage is secondary current times burden impedance. I don't know which step I am thinking is wrong. Any help would be really appreciated.

Whatever the secondary current is (within limits) then that current through and times the impedance of the secondary circuit will be the voltage across the secondary impedance.

The point you are wrong is that the flux isn't constant in the core with respect to the burden or the primary current. The secondary winding provides counter flux, reducing the flux in the core. Core flux increases as the voltage at the secondary increases. A CT with shorted terminals will have very little core flux due to all the couterflux or low voltage developed on the secondary. An open ended CT will have high flux due to having no counter flux.

Here look at slide 27
