Current error(ratio error) : The error [which] a transformer introduces into the measurement of a current and which arises from the fact that actual transformation ratio is not equal to the rated transformer ratio. The current error expressed in percentage is given by the formula :Current error, percent=(Ka. Is-Ip) x 100/Ip where... Ip=actual primary current... Is=actual secondary current when Ip is flowing under the conditions of measurement. 2, record 1, English, - actual%20primary%20current
