Low Tension Current Transformers It is not possible to use line current directly for measurement and relaying purpose due to its high value and insulation problem. CURRENT TRANSFORMER which is widely known as 'CT' is a piece of electrical equipment which converts line current (primary current) in to small standard current values which are suitable for the devices to which it is connected e.g. measuring instruments, meters, protection relays.
CURRENT TRANSFORMERS ARE BROADLY CLASSIFIED AS RING TYPE CTs : A CT which has an opening in the center to accommodate a primary conductor (busbar or cable) through it. BAR -PRIMARY CTs A CT in which the primary winding consists of bar of suitable size and, material forming an integral part of the CT. WOUND TYPE CTs : A CT having a primary wi d-ing of more than ane full turn wound on the core
