These transformers are used in measuring and indicating current, that is to reduce the line current to a value which is suitable for standard measuring instruments, relays etc. |
 |
These transformers are used for over current and undercurrent relaying for power circuit protection. |
TYPE : Current Transformers are normally categorized as Ring / Bar type and Wound Primary
|
 |
Ring / Bar type current transformer :
A current transformer where primary winding is provided by 'the user. |
 |
Wound primary current transformer
A current transformer having a primary winding of more than one full turn wound on core. |
Current Transformers are wound on Toroidal cores which virtually eliminates error due to leakage flux. Adjusting the number of secondary turns may compensate for some errors.
