electricpy.fault.ct_vpeak(Zb, Ip, CTR)[source]

Electrical Current Transformer (CT) Peak Voltage Calculator.

Simple formula to calculate the Peak Voltage of a CT.

\[\sqrt{3.5*|Z_burden|*I_{peak}*CTR}\]
Parameters:
Zb : float

The burden impedance magnitude (in ohms).

Ip : float

The peak current for the CT.

CTR : float

The CTR turns ratio of the CT.

Returns:

Vpeak – The peak voltage.

Return type:

float
