What is the difference between a current transformer and a voltage transformer?

Understanding the Differences Between Current Transformers and Voltage Transformers Electric power systems rely on various types of transformers to ensure accurate measurement and safe operation. Two fundamental types are current transformers and voltage transformers, each serving unique functions with distinct structural features and operational principles. The distinction between current and voltage transformers lies in their…

Realization of current detection in automobile electronic system

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Here mainly introduces the detection method of electric current, find some factors that are easy to be neglected in the design. First consider two different methods: the detection method based on the magnetic field and the detection method based on the shunt. 1. Magnetic field-based detection methods (represented by current transformers and Hall sensors) have many advantages,…

Factors that harm coil inductance

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Coil is a more frequently used equipment in power circuits. It is made by winding a transmission line on an insulating tube. The material of the transmission line will endanger the function of the coil. Below I will tell everyone what are the elements that harm coil inductance and what is the function of coil…

Hall-effect current sensor

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] The power factor correction (PFC) circuit and inverter circuit in the telecom rectifier and server power supply unit (PSU) all need to detect the current signal on the high-voltage side to the controller on the low-voltage side, so an isolated current sensor is used. There are many ways to implement isolated current detection, such…

The general concept of current transformers

A general current transformer can transform a primary current with a large value into a secondary current with a smaller value according to a certain transformation ratio, so as to play the main purpose of maintenance and accurate measurement. The main function of the zero-sequence current transformer is to protect the power circuit when an…

Voltage transformers and current transformers

In order to accurately measure the power consumption in high-voltage and high-current AC circuits, voltage transformers and current transformers are generally used to convert high voltage into low voltage and large current into small current, and configure a moderate meter to use voltage Transformers to carry out accurate measurements. For example, the current, working voltage,…
