RE: CT saturation in protection
The most common problem is with current differential protection. In this case, a small mismatch in the saturation characteristics of the CT's can cause nuisance tripping.

RE: CT saturation in protection
This GE/Multilin white paper discusses CT saturation for certain applications.
If you check the SEL website (www.selinc.com) you will find some additional tech papers on CT performance.
If you're REALLY interested, check J.L. Blackburn's Protective Relaying book for a good discussion of CTs and relays.
If you're REALLY, REALLY interested, Stan Zocholl of SEL has published a book on Current Transformers.
