The exciting current of a current transformer is calculated and added to the measured secondary current to produce a corrected signal. The exciting current is calculated by first calculating the current transformer induced voltage. The induced voltage is calculated from a parameter related to secondary current and known characteristics of loop impedances through which secondary current flows. The parameter related to secondary current may be the secondary current itself, or a voltage associated with secondary current flowing through an impedance. The calculated induced voltage is then applied across an inductor having similar magnetic properties as the current transformer. By scaling the applied voltage properly, the current flowing in the inductor is approximately proportional to the exciting current of the current transformer. The current in the inductor is measured, and, by applying an appropriate constant of proportionality, the exciting current of the current transformer is determined. A corrected secondary current is then calculated by adding the calculated exciting current to the measured secondary current.
