Square HDMCT200S1 current transformer is utilised to measure & convert high electrical currents into proportional, manageable values suitable for monitoring & protection devices. It is used in industrial settings and power distribution systems to ensure the safe and accurate measurement of current levels, aiding in load management, fault detection and equipment safeguarding. It is also used in energy management, circuit protection and automation systems, where precise current monitoring is crucial for operational efficiency and system reliability. This transformer features a round window design for the current measurement process and is suitable for installation in a hole with a diameter of 1.13 inches.
Working Mechanism:
- This current transformer operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
- When alternating current (AC) flows through the primary conductor, a magnetic field is generated around it.
- This magnetic field induces a voltage in the secondary winding, following Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.
- The induced voltage is then converted into a proportional secondary current using external circuitry.
- The resulting secondary current is employed for accurate measurement and monitoring, commonly in applications like power meters and protection systems.
