The result is even if CTs of proper turn ratio are used a differential
current will flow through the relay operating coil under normal
operating conditions and cause the relay to operate.
he connections of the CTs should such that the resultant currents fed
into the pilot wires from either sides are displaced in phase by an
angle equal to the phase shift between the primary and the
secondary currents.

CT Ratios
The currents in the primary and secondary windings of
a power transformer are not equal.
Use of identical CTs (of the same ratio) will give
differential current and operate the relay even under
no load condition.
The difference in the magnitude of primary and
secondary currents is compensated by using CTs of
different ratios.
The turns ratio of CTs used on the two sides of a power
transformer should be such that their secondaries have
equal currents during normal operation.
