Current Transformer
A current transformer (CT) functions as an isolation device within a power system, enabling safe and accurate measurement of high currents. Unlike traditional methods that necessitate a circuit break, CTs achieve this by creating a proportional, reduced current replica in a secondary winding. This is accomplished by passing the primary conductor through the CT's core, inducing a proportional magnetic field and subsequent current in the secondary circuit. This isolation eliminates the risk of high voltage or current exposure to measuring instruments, safeguarding them from potential damage or failure.
High-frequency CTs adhere to the same principle but utilize ferrite cores due to their superior magnetic permeability characteristics. This material selection mitigates core losses, a critical factor at higher frequencies.
