Gents,
we are testing 8000HP 13.8KV motors with load connected.
The mfg says they must bypass the CT readout initially on start-up since the inrush current is so high and out of range of the test CT's. They will then monitor steady-state.
Has anyone heard or run into this problem before? Do CT's actually have a current measuring "range"?
I am not allowing the mfg this option btw.
thanks!
