I don't see how an unbalanced load could damage a CT. Can you give us a circuit diagram and more information on the damage to the transformer?
 
IPA1 DG-A Current Transformer.jpgDG-A CT.jpgDG-.jpg
Generator is 350 KVA and usual load about 50% but recently disbalance appeared probably because load bank failure, we observed difference in phase current and it were about LI-200A L2-200A and L3-100A and burned transformer was on phase L3 reviled it later after ACB trip by multifunctional relay.
 
Thanks Elena and what do you think could reason of CT damage?
Existing current transformer manufacture ‘’Frer’’ type TA0008800K01 Ratio 800/1 A 0.72-3kV 5P15 M0503 resistance secondary winding 11 Ω but failed CT was 5.6Ω
