The general mutual-inductance watt-hour meter and the high-voltage watt-hour meter of the three-phase watt-hour meter must be connected to a current transformer or a voltage transformer. This article mainly introduces you in detail what are voltage transformers and current transformers and What is the difference between these two transformers. 1. Voltage transformer The working principle…
First of all, the current transformer is an instrument and equipment that converts a large current into a small current on the secondary side according to the principle of electromagnetic induction. The current transformer is composed of a closed iron core and windings. Its primary winding has very few turns and is stringed in the…
The current transformer is an instrument that accurately converts a large amount of current on the primary side into a small amount of current on the secondary side according to the magnetic effect of the current. The current transformer is composed of a closed iron core and windings. The number of primary winding turns is…
Understanding the Differences Between Current Transformers and Zero Sequence Current Transformers Current transformers (CTs) and zero sequence current transformers (ZSCTs) are essential components in electrical systems, playing critical roles in protection and measurement. Understanding the differences between these two types of transformers is crucial for engineers and technicians working in electrical safety and system design.…

Current-type signals, the external characteristics of the ideal situation, is equivalent to a very large voltage source in series with a very large internal resistance. In this way, when the load impedance is much smaller than its internal resistance, the current is always equal to its “short circuit current”. Its main advantages are: as long…
