 Current Transformers for Electronic Watt-hour Meters

Recent advances in the field of power and energy measurements have placed increasingly stringent
accuracy requirements on current transformers. Moreover for demanding more moderate size and
capacity, applying telemetering system and international meter standard, pre-existing mechanical
meters need replacing with electronic method.

AST, ASD series cores meet the requirements of phase and amplitude-error and linearity according the
international meter standards ( IEC 620xx ) with and without DC tolerance in a very easy and economic
way.

The properties of the toroidal core current transformers such as maximum transmissible primary
current, amplitude and phase error as well as linearity are basically determined by the material used
for the magnetic core. The three areas of application mentioned place different demands on the
respective materials.

AST series ASD series

Minimal Phase Angle error With DC-tolerance
Excellent coupling of primary and High linearity of hysteresis loop and
secondary currents DC-bias properties
Very low losses Very low losses
High Permeability

Benefits of Current Transformer

- No required additional magnetic shielding

Common features of - Less sensitive to low interference fields
toroidal shape of core - Having long-term stability due to the controlled magnetic function
- Needs only small additive circuit elements
- Easier assembly than electromechanical ac induction meter

Nanocrystalline Material - Very small amplitude error

(Suitable for IEC 62053-221) - Very small phase error
& ANSI C12.xx) - Low temperature dependence

- Complaint‘DC tolerance’without air gap

Co-based Material
- Low temperature dependence
(Suitable for IEC 62053-212))
- Negligibly small amplitude error

1) 2)
Former standard is for IEC 687 and for IEC 61036
