212-5888: 1500:5 Current Ratio Current Transformer

A Current Transformer is used to measure current. It is used in electrical substations and power plants to measure the current in high-voltage circuits. A Current Transformer has two windings. The primary winding is connected to the circuit that is being measured. The secondary winding is connected to an ammeter or other instrument that measures the current. Attributes: • Used to measure the current flow in different parts of the grid and to detect problems • Manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability, reliability Applications: A Current Transformer is used to protect equipment from overloads and short circuits.
