current transformer connection

Data applies up to October 2023current transformers Measurement in electrical systems[edit] In electric power systems, current transformers (CTs) measure alternating current (AC). They assist by lowering the current of a power line to a safe limit which can be recorded by instruments. The proper connection of current transformer (CT) is vary crucial to achieve accurate readings and to ensure the safety of power systems.

There are a few important things to keep in mind when connecting current transformers. Slightly remove them to ensure the Primary and Secondary wires are not crossed. The main wire connects to the conductive circuit where the current will measure, and the secondary wire connects to the measuring device.

Key considerations for proper current transformer wiring

Now there are some common mistakes that are done while wiring the current transformers which leads to erroneous readings and safety hazards. A few things to check are the primary and secondary wires connected the wrong way. This could result in inaccurate readings and potentially ruin the measuring instrument.

Current transformers allow an easy and cost-effective way to measure the amount of electricity that is consumed, their correct connection is very important. Metering enables us to understand how much power we consume and diagnose issues in the electrical system. So we know that, if the current transformers are connected in wrong way, it can cause wrong readings in the meter which can happen billing errors and issues.
