TPS Class CT is used for transient performance (TP). TPS class Current Transformer has Low Leakage Flux and there is no limit for remanent flux) further there are also TPX,TPY and TPZ class CTs
1. TPX- No Limit for remanent flux due to nil air gap in the core
2. TPY - remanent flux does not exceeded 10 % due to less air gap in the core
3. TPZ- Having practically null remanent flux because there is large air gap is provide in the Core

I am aware that Class TPS current transformers have a Low Leakage Flux design
Leakage reactance is useful for limiting the short circuit current in transformer and generators. therefore normally the reactance of transformer varies for 4.5% for distribution transformer to 12.5% for 400KV class.
CL of a CT is its accuracy class.. it is an approximate measure of the CT's accuracy. e.g. The ratio (primary to secondary current) error of a Class 1 (CL:1.0) CT is 1% at rated current
Yes, a transformer has eddy currents.
When the secondary of a transformer is opened, there is no longer any load on the transformer. There will be some current flowing in the primary winding, which is needed to induce the voltage in the secondary. This primary current is referred to as the "no load" current, and is indicative of the core losses in the transformer.
C800 CT is a type of current transformer that is commonly used for metering and protection applications. TPS class CT refers to a specific accuracy class for current transformers that comply with ANSI standards. The main difference between the two is the design and accuracy specifications, with TPS class CT typically having higher accuracy levels.

don't worry
RCT is Secondary resistance of Current transformer it depends on Design.
The CL of a current transformer signifies the accuracy class of the transformer. It indicates the maximum permissible error in percentage for a given range of primary current. The lower the CL value, the higher the accuracy of the current transformer. It is important to select a current transformer with an appropriate CL value to ensure accurate measurement and protection in electrical systems.

These are the Class codes for CTs used for protection purposes.

in welding machine, the transformer used is basically a current transforrmer. so by changing the tap of secondary side of transformer, we can increase or decrease the current in the transformer.
why does have to short-circuit secondary wire of current transformer ?
The difference between current transformer and potential transformer is that the secondary of a current transformer can not be open circuited while under service whereas that of the potential transformer an be open circuited without any damage to the transformer.
It is a transformer with No load attach to it.
