Voltage transformers (VTs) are essential in electrical power systems, ensuring accurate voltage measurements and system protection. But here’s the catch—these transformers behave differently depending on frequency. Testing a voltage transformer at 50Hz versus 60Hz isn’t just about a simple number change. The shift in frequency affects magnetic flux, impedance, losses, resonance, and accuracy. Ignoring these…
Some suggestions on how to use hysteresis loop characteristics in the manufacture of current transformers A current transformer (CT) is an electrical device used to measure or monitor alternating current (AC) in a power system. Its operating principle is based on the use of the hysteresis characteristics of magnetic materials to convert the AC current…
