How can I select CT(Current Transformer) capacity?
How can I select CT(Current Transformer) capacity?
(OP)
Design Conditions
-Full Load Current(Motor 1790kw, 6kv, 50Hz) : 200A
How can I select CT capacity(primary side)? ..CT Ratio?
Is there a related Code or Standard?
Please! Please! Tell me any information...
Thank you!

Note that a 225A prim current would also suffice.

The CT you select should meet following conditions:-
1) Assuming that only load on the CT is motor and no other load then your CT should be able to carry 1.2 times the full load current.
2) Be sure to see what is the short time current rating of the CT and for how many seconds 1 sec or 3 sec?
3) On the secondary side the CT current can be selected as 5A or 1A based on your requirement, but this choice of yours (i.e 1A or 5A) will also have cost implication.
4) The class of core you are selecting is also to be scrutinized.
Finally there is an IS which supports my first point stated above.

Might find some guidance in IEEE C37.96, C37.110 and C57.13.

The motor is not the load or burden on the CT. The protective relaying being driven by the CT is the burden. Every relay you add burns a bit of the power available from the CT. You need to make sure that the CT is rated to handle the burden imposed by all relaying.
Unless you are going crazy with relaying, though (such as using LOTS of mechanical relays), any CT designed for use in relaying should have sufficient capacity.
By the way, I'm gonna add this little piece of advice since it sounds like you're not too familiar with CT's: consider getting a "shorting terminal block" for connection of the CT wiring. This facilitates maintenance and can help prevent shocks or equipment damage from open-circuited CT's. Not required, just a nice option. Some might consider this "old school," so I'd be interested to see what anyone thinks.

Electronic relays (Static, Electronic and microprossesors) have normally a very low burden, electromechanical relays is the buggers with a high burden. When you are working with a electromechanical relay, make extra sure that your CT's will drive the relay under fault conditions.

so many good views & infomations..I'm so happy!
I want to see IEEE C37.96, C37.110 and C57.13. stated above. Could anyone help me?
