Indtrax Toroidal Current Transformers deliver high accuracy and compact designs, which help in precise current measurement and system protection. Their efficiency and durability reduce core losses and support reliable performance in demanding industrial environments, ensuring safety and energy efficiency in power systems and automation applications.
Current transformers are found in power generation, electricity transmission & distribution, railways, industrial equipment, vessel propulsion, wind & solar renewables applications. In each application layer there are a number of sub-application levels for current transformers; for example, accurate measurement of power, protection of electrical plant, differential protection, restricted earth fault, isolated phase busduct, interposing, and summation.
To sense the current flow across the current transformers and to monitor the current ratings. In current transformers no voltage variations occurs. but in voltage transformers it is mainly used to increase or decrease the voltage value.
An AC electromagnet functions by using alternating current to create a magnetic field. This magnetic field can attract or repel objects, depending on the polarity of the current. AC electromagnets are commonly used in devices such as electric motors, transformers, and generators. They are also used in industrial applications like magnetic separation and lifting heavy objects.
It depends on the type of transformer:transmission/distribution transformers step up or step down system voltagesisolation transformers electrically isolate two systems without affecting their voltagesmatching transformers are used in electronic circuits for impedance matchinginstrument transformers step down voltages (voltage transformers) or currents (current transformers) for measurement or protection applications
A current transformer is used for measurement of alternating electric currents. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers are known as instrument transformers.
The magnetic effect of an electric current is used in a wide range of applications, including electromagnets, electric motors, generators, and transformers. Electromagnets are used in devices like MRI machines and speakers, while electric motors power everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. Generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, and transformers are used to adjust voltage levels in power distribution.
Yes, certain types of relays can be activated by current transformers.
No. Transformers are used in circuits with Alternating Current. Transformers work on the principle of a "changing" magnetic field inducing a current in a conductor, and you don't get that "changing" field with Direct Current.
By direct from the manufacturer! Current & Potential Transformers
One way that alternating current is more useful than direct current is that it can be easily transformed into different voltage levels using transformers, enabling efficient long-distance power transmission. Additionally, alternating current is capable of powering electric motors, which are essential in many industrial applications and household appliances.
CTs, as well as potential transformers, are called instrument transformers. If the current in the circuit is high then CT will reduce the current and produce a accurately proportional current required in the circuit.It is commonly used in metering systems,protective relays.AnswerA CT also has the important function of electrically-isolating the secondary circuit from the primary circuit -veryimportant in high-voltage applications.
Instrument transformers, such as current transformers (CTs) and voltage transformers (VTs), are primarily used in electrical power systems to step down high currents and voltages to manageable levels for measurement and protection purposes. They enable accurate monitoring of electrical parameters, ensuring safe operation of equipment and systems. Additionally, they isolate measuring instruments from high voltage circuits, enhancing safety for both equipment and personnel. These transformers are essential for applications in metering, relay protection, and monitoring in substations and industrial settings.
