The 6.6kV Star side of an 7.5MVA transformer is earthed through current limiting resistor to 300mA. The CT on the earthed side are 1250/1A. The phase CT on the Transformer are 800/1A. Will the mismatch on the CT ( 1250 and 800) be a problem? If not a problem how are these CT connected including the relay to show zero amps. If yes there is a problem, how can I solve it

Babambu,
It is not an issue if you are using a low impedence protection for REF.
 
normally numeric relays have large setting ranges. Siemens relay can matching 5A-CT secondary with 1A-CT secondary
