As per IEC/AS standard, the metering class current transformer is available in the different accuracy Control Valve Noise Problems
classes. The accuracy of the CT depends on the load, therefore IEC/AS have developed different and its Reduction

Difference between 0.2 and 0.2S class CT
0.2 and 0.2S refers to the accuracy of the Current Transformer. A 0.2S CT has a much higher accuracy February 2020 (5)

than 0.2. Accuracy class of 0.2 means +/- 0.2 % error. But, the declared accuracy is guaranteed January 2020 (9)
only between 100% & 120% rating. And, with some increased error, the CT performance can be December 2019 (10)
guaranteed from 5% loading. Below this load, the error is not guaranteed. It can be anything. November 2019 (6)

0.2S class special CTs guarantee the declared accuracy +/- 0.2%, even with 20% loading. The 0.2S class September 2019 (11)
CT gives declared accuracy from 20 to 100 % rating. And with some de nite error 0.2S class CT can be August 2019 (6)
