High Precision CBCT Assemblies for Electrical Protection

High-accuracy CBCT assemblies designed for reliable leakage detection and stable performance across protection systems. Engineered for consistency, sensitivity, and long-term durability in critical applications.

Key Features

1

Current Balance

Ensures that in normal conditions, the sum of phase currents remains zero with no output from the CBCT.

2

Imbalance Sensing

Detects any deviation from zero current caused by leakage or fault conditions.

3

Residual Measurement

Measures the residual current generated due to imbalance in the system.

4

Leakage Detection

Identifies earth faults or current leakage to enable timely protection. Induction Sensing –

5

Induction Sensing

Operates on electromagnetic induction to detect current variations via the CBCT.

6

Relay Triggering

Automatically activates the protection relay to isolate the faulty circuit.
