Current Transformer Supplier & Factory

A Current Transformer is an instrument transformer that converts a primary AC current on a conductor into a scaled secondary current suitable for measurement or protection devices. The secondary circuit is intended for connection to meters, relays, or monitoring inputs based on the selected output form.

Current Transformer ratio defines the relationship between primary current and secondary output. Selection of transformer ratio and rated current is based on expected operating current range and the input specification of the connected device to ensure correct scaling.

Output form selection depends on the secondary input requirement of the meter or relay. Engineering review typically confirms the required secondary signal type and the wiring interface so the Current Transformer output form matches the receiving terminal specification.

Open/split type Current Transformer designs allow installation around an existing conductor without disconnecting the conductor. Installation practice generally includes verifying conductor routing, ensuring mechanical closure of the split core, and connecting the secondary to the intended measurement or protection circuit.

Temperature-resistant and flame-retardant construction is specified when Current Transformer installation occurs inside electrical enclosures or environments where elevated temperature and material performance requirements apply. Specification review typically aligns material characteristics with the project’s cabinet and site conditions.
