High Accuracy Current Transformer
High Accuracy Current Transformer

The high accuracy current transformer (CT), which has very low phase error (phase shift) and ratio error (current error) for measurement, usually has a good linearity core inside and a winding coil with a large number turns. Although 0.1 class CT is most popular, we can also provide current transformers of 0.05 class stipulated by the Chinese National Standard, which have phase error of 4′ when input is 5% of rated current, or even higher accuracy class. When DC offsets exist in the circuit, it’s better to choose our DC immune type current transformers, which are made of amorphous & nanocrystalline composite cores.

Plastic case with epoxy resin fixing is the most common type of encapsulation for our high accuracy CT, as it provide good protection for the coil. Insulation tape wrapped CT has the advantage of flexible for pilot production, as no plastic mold is required. Due to the sophisicated winding technology and high grade CT cores we made ourselves, we can provide compact size toroidal current transformers with excellent linear output, high sensitivity and low measurement error. For high precision industry electricity meter, our heavy current type CT with big through-hole is more suitable. We can also manufacture customized current transformer for clients’ special requirements.
