Maximum primary fundamental frequency phase-to-ground fault current that passes the
CTs and the power transformer neutral (A)

ct

In substations with breaker-and-a-half or double-busbar double-breaker arrangement,
the fault current may pass two main phase CT
s for the restricted
ground fault protection
without passing the power transformer. In such cases and if both main CTs have equal
ratios and magnetization characteristics the CTs must satisfy Requirement
299 and the
