A current transformer (CT) is a device used to measure alternating current (AC) by transforming high currents into a standardized, lower current suitable for measurement or protection purposes.
An electrical tool for measuring alternating current (AC) is called a current transformer (CT). For secure and precise measurement, it lowers large currents to a bearable level.
The portion of the transformer carrying the highest current is called the primary winding. Usually, just one wire or conductor is seen going through the center of the transformer.
Secondary Winding This winding is used for monitoring or measuring and carries a lesser, proportionate current. It is linked to safety relays or meters.
Magnetic Core Constructed from silicon steel laminates, it offers the magnetic flux produced by the main current a low-reluctance path.
Insulation Maintains safety and averts electrical problems by guaranteeing electrical isolation between the primary and secondary windings.
