Understanding the RCD Concept Residual Current Devices, often referred to as RCDs, are fundamental safety mechanisms in electrical circuits. They provide protection by automatically disconnecting the power supply whenever the live conductor current at a given point in the phase surpasses a predetermined value. Unveiling the Type B RCD RCDs come in various types –…
Grasping Basic Concepts The Essence of Current Transformers Current transformers are fundamental devices in power systems, adept at converting high currents into proportionately lower currents. They are pivotal in both measurement and protection applications within power systems. Their key role is energy conversion, where they transduce high input currents to manageable, low output currents proportional…
Generally, there are four types of leakage currents: semiconductor component leakage current, power supply leakage current, capacitor leakage current and filter leakage current 1. Leakage current of semiconductor components The very small current that flows through the PN junction when it is turned off. D-S is forward biased, G-S is reverse biased, and after the…
Ratio difference: The fault of the transformer includes both the ratio difference and the angle difference. The ratio error is abbreviated as the ratio error, which is usually indicated by the symbol f. It is equal to the difference between the actual secondary current and the primary current converted to the secondary side and the…
From the image above, we can see that the three-phase power line and neutral line from the circuit breaker to the electrical equipment pass through the zero-sequence current transformer, and after the secondary winding of the differential current transformer is processed by the RCD detection and control device, to control the circuit breaker to trip. This is how the leakage…
Zero current transformer is a leakage current detection component of line fault. It has only one iron core and secondary winding. When it works, the primary three-core cable is passed through the iron core window of the transformer, and the secondary one is connected to the relay with lead wire, and then the output terminal…
