CURRENT TRANSFORMER

A current transformer (CT) is a type of transformer that is used to measure electric current in a power system. It does this by transforming a high current in the primary winding into a proportional, lower current in the secondary winding. This allows for safe and accurate measurement of high currents that would otherwise be difficult to handle directly.

Applications:

Metering: Measuring electrical energy consumption in homes, industries, and utilities.
Protection: Overcurrent protection in power systems, including circuit breakers and relays.
Monitoring: Monitoring electrical loads and system conditions.
Control: Controlling electrical equipment based on current measurements
