Test for composite error of class P and PR protective current transformers : Indirect Method
For low-leakage reactance current transformers according to Annex 2C, the direct test may be replaced by the following indirect test. With the
primary winding open-circuited, the secondary winding is energized at rated frequency by a substantially sinusoidal voltage having an r.m.s.
value equal to the secondary limiting e.m.f. EALF.The resulting exciting current, expressed as a percentage of I × ALF shall not exceed the
composite error limit given in Table 205. The exciting voltage shall be measured with an instrument which has a response proportional to the
average of the rectified signal, but calibrated in r.m.s..

It was observed that the core saturation occurred at 8 times the primary current ( 16kA)
for Ipr=630A , the equivalent ALF= 25
