DC immune current transformers (CTs) are used in electrical devices, such as electricity meters to measure the current in the AC circuit where DC offset exists. Each piece of Xianyu’s DC immune current transformer consists of the amorphous & nancrystalline dual core manufacured by ourselves. As we used high-grade DC immune CT core inside, the final CT have the ability to handle the DC offsets in the circuit. We make the round winding coil by high-grade enamel wire and turns ratio can range from 1:1000 to 1:25000.
The winding coil of CT should be protected by wrapped insulation tape or plastic case fixed by harden epoxy resin. Plastic case current transformers usually have the advantage of cost, as the coil fix (resin pouring) can be handled by automatic machines. Insulation tape wrapped CT are suitable for flexible demands, as no plastic mold is required, but the price may not so cheap as the insulation tape is wrapped manually.
For some circumstances, we’ll assemble the coils by metal shieldings outside for further protection and magnetic shielding. We have another type anti-magnetic current transformers with metal case inside, which are key components for anti-tamper or anti-theft energy meters. The metal shield or metal case provides good protection for the coil of a current transformer, which may be affected by the outside magnetic field. We can make toroidal current transformers, as well as busbar built-in type. Due to our design of sophisicated structure, we can also provide busbar removable CT, which can be easliy assembled inside the case of energy meters or other electrical devices.
The most common structure of DC immune CT is toroidal or ring type, and the through-hole is used to assemble busbar or primary wires, maybe together with shunt resistors. But we can also make bus type or busbar built-in current transformers, which can be easily fixed or installed in the meter cases by screwing. In some circumstances, the busbar may be replaced by primary wire manganin shunt.
While the busbar or neutral bar carrying the primary current, the coil will carry the secondary current, and its two ends will connected with the lead wires, whose length and gauge are usually specified by end users. For PCB mount type DC immune CT, the lead wires are replaced by 2 pins or 4 pins.
Our precision current transformers have high linearity, very low phase shift (or phase error), and low amplitude error (or current error). And we can provide different accuracy class CT, range from 0.05 to 0.2 class stipulated by the Chinese National Standard, for different grades of residential or commercial meters.
As a professional manufacturer of more than 15 years experience, we can provide customzied DC immune current transformer with a wide-range of dimensions for single phase or three phase watt-hour meters. We can make very small CT, or big ones with max. current as high as 600A for industry meters. Due to our quick prototype technology (3-D printing or resin casting), we can provide samples within a couple of days.
