What determines the frequency range of a current transformer?


Per the title, what physical or construction parameters determine the frequency range of a current transformer? I happen to be looking at these two from mouser, but I'm sure the question is generic enough to apply to a large number of these things... What causes there to be a thousand-fold different in the minimum frequency?


Also, what happens if you attempt to measure a frequency well outside the rated range? For example, if you tried to measure a 50-60Hz residential power waveform with one of these KHz-range devices?


CT #1 : ICE CT08-1200 - listed as 40Hz - 200KHz



CT #2 : Murata 56200C - listed as 20KHz - 200KHz

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
