PLO-10 CLO-8 Instrument Transformer A transformer that is intended to reproduce in its secondary circuit, in a definite and known proportion, the current or voltage of its primary circuit with the phase relations substantially preserved.
The name instrument transformer is a general classification applied
to current and voltage devices used to change currents and voltages from one magnitude to another or to perform an isolating function, that is, to isolate the utilization current or voltage from the supply voltage for safety to both the operator and the end device in use Instrument Transformer An instrument transformer that is intended to have its primary winding connected in series with the conductor carrying the current to be measured or controlled
In window-type current transformers, the primary winding is provided
by the line conductor and is not an integral part of the transformer.
Current transformers take a high current and reduce it to typically 5
amps on the secondary winding so that it can be used with a watthour meter, ammeter, or protection relay. Current Transformer Construction Features Current transformers are constructed in various ways. One method is quite similar to that of the potential transformer in that there are two separate windings on a magnetic steel core.
But it differs in that the primary winding consists of a few turns of
heavy wire capable of carrying the full load current while the secondary winding consists of many turns of smaller wire with a current carrying capacity of between 5/20 amperes, dependent on the design. This is called the wound type due to its wound primary coil Construction Features Another very common type of construction is the so-called “window,” “through” or donut type current transformer in which the core has an opening through which the conductor carrying the primary load current is passed
This primary conductor constitutes the primary winding of the
CT (one pass through the “window” represents a one turn primary), and must be large enough in cross section to carry the maximum current of the load. Types of Current Transformer Rating and Ratio The rating of an instrument transfer is expressed by two groups of numbers representing the nominal current or voltage which may be applied to its primary winding and the current or voltage which would then be induced in its secondary winding. For example, a designation of 400:5 amperes express the rating of a current transformer and means that when 400 amperes flow through the primary, 5 amperes will flow through the secondary Rating and Ratio
The ratio of an instrument transformer is the relationship
of its primary rating to its secondary rating. For example, the current transformer having a rating of 400:5 amperes will have a ratio of 80:1. Connections CT’s with wound primaries always have their primary windings connected in series with the line and the load and their secondary windings connected to the burden (the watthour meter current coil) How to Modify the Turn Ratio of Current Transformer Modification of current transformer’s turn ratio can be done if number of loops of main wire are increased from one How to Modify the Turn Ratio of Current Transformer Precaution
Never open the secondary circuit of current transformer
while current is flowing in the primary circuit. Lab Experiment Question & Answer
