Current Transformer
Current transformer (CT) is a sensor used to measure current in high voltage (AC) circuits. Its function is to convert a large current into a smaller one to facilitate measurement and circuit protection. CTs prevent circuit overload, damage, and safety hazards.
There are different types of CTs, including open, closed, pole, and window types. They work on the same principle: an iron core wrapped with a winding produces electromagnetic induction when current flows through the circuit. This generates a secondary current proportional to the input current.
Accuracy and inductance are important considerations when using CTs. Accuracy depends on scale and phase error, and inductance affects electrical power consumption and magnetic interference.
CTs are vital components of power systems that provide protection and measurement functions for circuits, ensuring power safety and efficiency. When selecting a CT, consider accuracy, inductance, type, and other factors.
