Current Transformer

Current Transformer Construction

BAR PRIMARY • Wound Primary CTs


 Called as toroid CT. • Primary and secondary winding are arranged concentrically.
 Negligible leakage flux • Secondary winding – inner winding.
 Low reactance • Cold rolled grain oriented steel
 Primary current should be high – to produce exciting • Core is assembled by E,I,C or L shaped stampings.
ampere turns. • Primary windings of copper would primary CTs – edge
wound copper strip.

• Secondary winding – Round section enameled copper wire.

Types of Voltage Transformers
Two main basic types are available:

 Electromechanical VT`s
 Similar to a power transformer
 May not be economical above 132kV

 Capacitor VT`s (CVT)


 Used at high voltages
 Main difference is that CVT has a capacitor divider on the front
end.
