Split core current transformer structural characteristics and working principle

1. Structural features

Our split core current sensor has a good design structure, beautiful appearance, and a transparent flip-top design for easy wiring. The case material is made of PC/ PA66 alloy, which has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, high mechanical strength and environmental protection; the iron core is made of oriented cold-rolled silicon steel sheet, which has the characteristics of stable performance, high mechanical strength and high magnetic permeability; the enameled wire in the skeleton coil adopts High-strength enameled wire, with high insulation strength, strong temperature resistance, etc.
The open-type current transformer is developed on the basis of the traditional low-voltage bus-type current transformer. It is compatible with cable and copper bar installation methods. According to the measurement range of primary current, The main specifications as follows:

2.The working principle of split core current transformer
The working principle of the open-ended low-voltage current transformer, the primary winding of the open-ended current transformer is connected in series in the line under test, I 1 is the line current, that is, the primary current of the current transformer, the primary turns of the current transformer, and the secondary current of the current transformer. Current (usually 5 A, 1 A), N 2 is the secondary turns of the current transformer, which is the impedance of the secondary circuit equipment and connecting wires.

Impact of Frequency on Voltage Transformers: Testing at 50Hz vs. 60Hz

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,
