The test windings transfer only a limited current range in a reliably linear magnetic
induction. There is a limit current, above which the induced secondary current does not
increase any further. As a consequence, it is not possible to perform a secondary test using
the test sockets if the pickup threshold is above this limit current.
These limit currents for the test sockets depend on the CT type. At SEG, the following values
have been measured.
