The correct answer is option 1):

Concept:

  • The phase angle between the primary and secondary of the current transformer must be 180 degrees.
  • The primary and secondary current must be out of phase.
  • The deviation in the phase angle of the primary and secondary current is called the phase angle error.

​​">θ=Im CosδIc SinδnIsdegreeθ=Im CosδIc SinδnIsdegreeθ=Im Cosδ−Ic SinδnIsdegree

m = Magnetizing component of exciting current,

δ = Angle between secondary induced voltage and secondary current

Ic = Core loss component of exciting current

n = turns ratio

Is = Secondary winding current  

Ip= Primary winding current
