Paper Title
SHORT TIME CURRENT TEST ON CTS

Abstract
The Indian standard on CTS(2705,Part I ,clause 3.28) stipulates that during short time thermal current test, the secondary of CT should be shorted. However it is proposed here that the secondary should be shorted through a burden instead of shorting directly. It will reduce the use of material and make the CT design economical specifically when short time thermal current rating is very high and rated current of CT is very low. Moreover the failure of CT during testing and service will also reduce.
