Will the saturation cause the relay to fail to operate? Doesn''t matter how saturated if the relay still does its job. Why do you need to see load with your protection CT? Why does the relay

As we will see further, choosing a higher CT ratio increases the available knee point voltage to the relay, but the secondary current gets reduced greatly. The latter could be an issue where load matched
