Open-Circuited CT Misoperation and Investigation
Once the wire slipped and fell free of the barrel, an open circuit in the C-phase circuit (downstream of the IC nonpolarity terminal and before the neutral bus) was created.
CURRENT TRANSFORMER (CT) INSTALLATION
CTs can produce high voltages on the secondary terminals if power is applied to the primary whilst they are in an open circuit condition. This may pose a hazard and can even damage the CT itself.

Current Transformer Protection
During an open circuit condition, the varistor is subjected to an applied current and acts as an active load. It therefore limits the voltage across the CT terminals and prevents any damage.
