A.4 Current Transformer Requirements
Formula symbols/terms used (in accordance with IEC 60044-6, as defined)
The transient rated dimensioning factor K
td
 depends on the device version  and the 
primary time constant T
p
. For the devices 7UT613/63x with a required saturation-free 
time of only 
1
/
4
 period, the influence of T
p
 is negligible.
For CT's that are defined by the rated symmetrical short-circuit current factor K
ssc
 and 
the rated burden R
b
 (e.g. 5P, 10P), the effective K’
ssc
 can be calculated by the formula:
The minimum required K’
ssc
 can be calculated by the formula:
Condition: K’
ssc
 (required) ≤ K'
