Description

A current transformer (CT) is used for measurement of alternating electric current for energy meter. Current transformers, together with voltage (or potential) transformers (VT or PT), are known as instrument transformers. When current in a circuit is too high to apply directly to measuring instruments, a current transformer produces a reduced current accurately proportional to the current in the circuit, which can be conveniently connected to measuring and recording instruments.

A current transformer isolates the measuring instruments from what may be very high voltage in the monitored circuit. Current transformers are commonly used in metering and protective relays in the electrical power industry.

Scope of Application

This specification suitable for 50Hz multi-functional electronic electric energy meter, anti-stealing electric meter, digital meter, also be used for transducer electric variables, remote control data acquisition system, digital relay protection, digital device and meters.
