What are the names of current transformers?
Bar-type CTs: These are cylindrical in shape, resembling a bar, and are often used in high-current applications.
Ring-type CTs: These CTs have a circular or toroidal shape and are commonly used in medium to high-voltage applications.
Wound CTs: These transformers have a primary winding through which the current flows and one or more secondary windings. They are used for accurate current measurement and protection purposes.
Window-type CTs: These CTs have a window or hole through which the primary conductor passes. They are commonly used for retrofit applications where it's not feasible to disconnect the primary conductor.
Oil-filled CTs: These CTs are immersed in oil to provide insulation and cooling. They are often used in high-power and high-voltage applications.
Dry-type CTs: These CTs use air or solid insulation instead of oil for insulation. They are preferred in indoor applications where oil-filled transformers are impractical.
Metering CTs: These CTs are designed specifically for accurate measurement of current for billing or monitoring purposes.
Protection CTs: These CTs are used in conjunction with protective relays to detect abnormal currents and trip circuit breakers or isolate equipment in case of faults.
Low-voltage CTs: These CTs are designed for measuring currents in low-voltage systems, typically below 1000 volts.
These are just a few examples of how current transformers can be classified based on their names and applications. There may be other specific names depending on the manufacturer, design, or special features of the current transformer.
