Accuracy Class of Metering CT:

Metering Class CT
Class

Applications

0.1 To 0.2

Precision measurements

0.5

High grade kilowa hour meters for commercial grade kilowa

hour meters

General industrial measurements

3 OR 5

Approximate measurements

Accuracy Class Letter of CT:

Metering Class CT
Accuracy Class
B

Applications
Metering Purpose
Protection Class CT

CT has low leakage ux.

CT can have signicant leakage ux.

CT accuracy is applicable within the entire range of secondary

currents from 5 to 20 times the nominal CT rating. (Typically
wound CTs.)

CT accuracy applies at the maximum rated secondary burden at 20

time rated only. The ratio accuracy can be up to four times greater
than the listed value, depending on connected burden and fault
current. (Typically window, busing, or bar-type CTs.)
