creases. The displayed heater current value increases in proportion to the
number of turns of the wire passing through the CT.

twice.
3. Obtain the heater burnout alarm value using the method in example 1.
Apparent normal current = (400 + 1700 + 2000) 200 x 2 = 41.0 A
Normal heater
current value
Apparent heater burnout current = (41.0 – 400 200) x 2 = 37.0 A
Heater burnout
current value
Normal current – heater burnout current = 41.0 – 37.0 = 4.0 A ( 2.5 A)
Heater burnout alarm value = (41.0 + 37.0) 2 = 39.0 A
