Miniature current transformers

1. The basic function of current transformersThe current transformers can convert primary currents with larger values to secondary currents with lower values through a certain transformation ratio, which are used for protection and measurement purposes. For example, a current transformer with a transformation ratio of 400/5 can convert the actual 400A current to 5A current.2.…

Residual current devices (RCD)

Brief description Principle The main characteristics of RCD are shown in the below picture. Its iron core surrounds all current-carrying conductors of an electrical circuit, and the magnetic flux generated in the magnetic core is related to the arithmetic and current of these conductor currents in an instant; the current flowing in one direction is…
