I do not have that info. All I want to know is if both CTs from different sources can be used. The stress analysis has nothing to do with this thanks

It appears you intend to use one or more measurement style CT's in reverse-to-normal connection to drive a substantial current into a shorted copper loop.
I believe you are misinformed as to the likely success of such an approach. Do you understand why this won't work?

Im not sure what you mean by reverse to normal. Both CTs are wired the same so that they induce in the same direction

Correct me if I've misunderstood your concept....
Do you plan to use two mutually aiding instrument type CT's to generate a high current on a single shorted conductor loop passing through the CT windows (normally the high current primary side) by energizing each CT on their multi- turn measurement side (normally the isolated low current secondary)? If so then I regard this as a flawed strategy.

The low current is the primary and second is the high current onto the "shorted" loop. Yes there

The low current (CT pulls from source based on inductance-multiple turns)/High Voltage is on the primary tap and the single turn "shorted" loop is passing through the window making the loop the secondary circuit (secondary coil). The primary side is energized giving it certain V/per turn through the CT. If this is what you meant, why wont it work? Im sure if I used both CTs fed off from same source (parallel), since both CTs are identical, the currents on the primary will divide equally and induce the same current if I max out 40A on each. Why are they acting differently when I have them wired to different power sources? Is it because of a wave form distortion? Do both CTs need to be raised simultaneously? Or back feeding is occurring onto each CT?
