6.0 Appendix A - Calculating Turns Ratio on a Shunt Reactor

The Vanguard EZCT line of products use the voltage method to measure the turns-ratio on
current transformers. A typical connection for a stand-alone CT is shown in Figure 16.

Figure 16

The EZCT applies a test voltage (V1) to the CT secondary winding. The induced voltage (V2) is
sensed through the CT primary winding. In this case a single conductor is used. By definition,
the turns-ratio is the voltage ratio:

Ratio=
