Current transformers and capacitors

The Current Transformer ( C.T. ), is a type of instrument transformer that is designed to produce an alternating current in its secondary winding which is proportional to the current being measured in its primary. Current Transformers reduce high voltage currents to a much lower value and provide a convenient way of safely.

6 FAQs about [Current transformers and capacitors]

What are current and voltage transformers?

This chapter describes the properties of current transformers (CTs) and voltage transformers (VTs), and how to specify them for particular applications. Current and voltage transformers are required to transform high currents and voltages into more manageable quantities for measurement, protection, and control.

How does a current transformer work?

Current transformers reduce high voltage currents to a much lower value and provide a convenient way of safely monitoring the actual electrical current flowing in an AC transmission line using a standard ammeter. The principal of operation of a basic current transformer is slightly different from that of an ordinary voltage transformer.

What is a basic current transformer?

The principal of operation of a basic current transformer is slightly different from that of an ordinary voltage transformer. Unlike the voltage or power transformer looked at previously, the current transformer consists of only one or very few turns as its primary winding.

What is a voltage transformer used for?

These transformers with low range ampere meters are used to measure the current in the high voltage circuits. They are also used to step down the current at a specific ratio to insulate the instrument from the high voltage lines. Related Posts: What is Potential Transformer (PT)? Types & Working of Voltage Transformers

What is current transformer (CT)?

What is Current Transformer (CT) ? A C.T “Current Transformer” is a type of instrument transformer designed to step down the current in the secondary for protection and measurement of proportional primary current. These transformers with low range ampere meters are used to measure the current in the high voltage circuits.

How many amps does a transformer have?

Most current transformers have a the standard secondary rating of 5 amps with the primary and secondary currents being expressed as a ratio such as 100/5. This means that the primary current is 20 times greater than the secondary current so when 100 amps is flowing in the primary conductor it will result in 5 amps flowing in the secondary winding.
