Measurements of electric currents

Answer

A current transformer allows high values of a.c. current to be measured using an ammeter designed to measure lower-values of a.c. current. At the same time, it electrically isolates the primary circuit from the secondary circuit -essential if the primary circuit is part of a high-voltage system. CTs are also used to monitor primary currents for the operation of high-voltage protection relays.

What is earthing of electric motor?

This is avoided by grounding the motor frame. Both methods effectively produce a solid electrical connection straight to the stator laminations, allowing any insulation failure to be grounded via the end-ground user's conductor. Earthing is a technique in preventing electric shocks. To start, virtually all electric motors require grounding. The neutral earthing is given in the generator, transformer, motor, and other electrical devices by connecting the non-current carrying section to the neutral earthing.


What is a difference between neutral earthing and body earthing?

here is no major difference between earthing and Grounding, both means "Connecting an electrical circuit or device to the Earth". This serves various purposes like to drain away unwanted currents, to provide a reference voltage for circuits needing one, to lead lightning away from delicate equipment. Even though there is a micro difference between grounding & earthing.Earthing and Grounding both is refer to zero potential but the system connected to zero potential is differ than Equipment connected to zero potential .If a neutral point of a generator or transformer is connected to zero potential then it is known as grounding. At the same time if the body of the transformer or generator is connected to zero potential then it is known as earthing.

Why earthing is use in transformer?

Earthing of a transformer is done to 1:reduce the sensitivity of protective relays. 2:reduce the damage due to fault current. 3:get rid of great loss of equipment and money in case of any earth fault.


what is neutral earthing and body earthing of transformer?

Neutral earthing refers to the practice of connecting the neutral point of a transformer or electrical system to the ground, providing a reference point for the system voltage and enhancing safety by preventing overvoltages. Body earthing, on the other hand, involves connecting the metallic body of the transformer or electrical equipment to the ground to protect against electrical shock and ensure safety in case of insulation failure. Both methods are essential for maintaining system stability and ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment.
