In substations with breaker-and-a-half or double-busbar double-breaker
arrangement, the fault current may pass two main phase CTs for the restricted earth
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
