Why CT operated over load relay is using for loads of high acceleration time upto 30 seconds? How it getting back?

1 Answer

Answer :

The saturable current transformers linearly transforms the current upto twice the set current, but above this value the transformer core gets saturated and the secondary current is proportionally less. Thus these relays permit heavy starting conditions of motors and offer dependable protection against overload. When current reduces the core gets de-saturated, as material design is such.
