To provide information support for relay protection and emergency automation algorithms, electromagnetic measuring voltage and current transformers are most often used. As practice shows, the magnetic core of the current transformers can be saturated under transient processes. This negatively impacts the proper functioning of protection systems. This paper proposes a methodology for restoration of the current transformers' secondary current based on machine learning algorithms. The task of current restoration is reduced to clustering and regression problems. The groups' current data are clustered depending on the depth of core saturation and the shape of current distortion. Then, solving the regression problem, current restoration is performed. Considering the requirements for the performance of the protection system, the following machine learning algorithms were selected for current recovery: Decision Tree, Random Forest, XGBoost, and Support Vector Machine for regression problems. The results of computational experiments show that the optimal number of clusters is four. Among the current restoration algorithms, XGBoost proved to be the most suitable. On average, for 17,240 test saturation modes, its error was 4%. The time delay for restoration one saturation mode was 0.0067 ms.
