electricpy.fault.ct_vpeak(Zb, Ip, CTR)

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
