Everything you ought to know about current transformers
Current transformer performs its function through electromagnetic fields.
It raises or lowers the current of
an AC circuit in a predictable manner dependent on the ratio between the windings.
For example, a 100: 1
ratio transformer, 100 amps flowing throw the primary transformer winding will result in a current of 1
amp through the secondary winding.
This transformer has both primary and secondary coils with wire wrapped around a core, which is made
up of steel or a nickel alloy.
Transformer windings are electrically insulated from each other and from the
core.
The winding connected to the power supply is called the primary winding.
The transformer winding
in which current is induced is called the secondary winding.
Advantages of current transformers
