example
A current transformer has a primary rating of 500 A and a secondary rating of 5 A. The nominal current of the system is
350 A, and the three-phase inverse time over-current alarm Limit is 100 %.

of the inverse time over-current characteristic graph according to IEC60255 is 7000 A.

INFO
If the performance of the inverse time over-current protection is important, DEIF recommends using a current transformer
that is rated for a 1 A secondary current (that is, -/1 A).
