The Function of Current Transformer and How to Handle Its Common Malfunction

The size of the current varies tremendously in the power generation, power transformation, power transmission, power distribution and power circuit, from several Amp to thousands of Amp. In order to facilitate measurement, protection and control, it needs to be converted to a relatively uniform current. In addition, the voltage of circuit is high and may cause danger when…

Analysis of the basic knowledge of these two current transformers and the difference between the two

Current transformers (CTs) are the silent workhorses in power systems, responsible for accurate current measurement and safe relay protection. But not all CTs are made the same. A common question that puzzles many engineers and electricians is: What’s the difference between a bus-type current transformer and a pillar-type current transformer? At first glance, these terms…
