Figure 300: Restricted earth-fault protection of a transformer
The data for the protected power transformer are:

The longest distance of the secondary circuit is 50 m (the whole loop is 100
m) and the area of the cross section is 10 mm

In this example, the CT type is IHBF 12, the core size is 35 percent, the
primary current is 1200 A and the secondary current is 5 A.

= 2 · 23 V = 46
V. It depends on if the stability of the scheme is achieved with U

= 40 V.
Otherwise, it is possible to choose a bigger core of 65 percent with:
