Formula:
Where:
The ratio of the current transformer can be modified by adding
more primary turns to the transformer. By adding primary
turns, the current required to maintain five amps on the sec-
ondary is reduced.
Example:
1 Primary Turn
2 Primary Turns
4 Primary Turns

Formula:
Where:
Example:
(In practicality one turn is dropped from the secondary as a ratio correc-
tion factor.)
The ratio of the current transformer can be modified by altering the
number of secondary turns by forward or backwinding the secondary
lead through the window of the current transformer. By adding second-
ary turns, the same primary current will result in a decrease in second-
ary output. By subtracting turns, the same primary current will result in
greater secondary output.
Again using the 300:5 example adding five secondary turns will require
325 amps on the primary to maintain the 5 amp secondary output or
Deducting 5 secondary turns will only require 275 amps on the primary
to maintain the 5 amp secondary output or
The above ratio modifications are achieved in the following manner:
