Current Transformer (CT)
Key Features of Current Transformers:
Designed specifically to mount in medium voltage switchgears (Usually 5, 15, 27 and 38kV Switchgears)
- CTs are normally mounted over primary bushings in MV Switchgears
- Integrated corner mounting holes for easy installation
- Single and Multi ratio options are available.
- As per IEEE/ANSI C57.13 or IEC 61819-1 accuracy classes for metering and/or relaying
- Wide range of windows and sizes
- Wide range of ratios from 50:5 to 6000:5.
- 1 Amp secondary available
- Supplied with leads or terminals.
- Custom secondary termination possible
- Standard product range and custom solutions
Applications for Current Transformers:
Energy Management: CTs are extensively used in power metering and energy management systems to monitor electricity consumption accurately.
Protection Relays: In power distribution and transmission systems, CTs are employed with protective relays to detect faults and abnormal conditions, enabling swift and automatic responses to prevent damage or outages.
Industrial Automation: CTs find application in various industrial processes to monitor current levels and ensure optimal performance of electrical machinery.
Renewable Energy Systems: In renewable energy installations, such as solar and wind farms, CTs are utilized to measure the current generated and ensure efficient power distribution.
Building Management Systems: CTs play a role in building management systems to monitor electricity usage, support load management, and improve overall energy efficiency.
