Using the new configuration of the current transformer as a safe current meter

Abstract

The normal functioning of energy systems cannot be achieved without solving the most important issue, which can be formulated as a reliable and safe measurement of electric current. For this purpose, an industrial current transformer is most often used, which has a number of significant disadvantages during operation. These deficiencies can be corrected using an improvement in the design of the current transformer. The device of a similar current transformer, the results of studies of the electromagnetic field of an industrial current transformer and a current transformer with an improved configuration are presented in this article. In addition, the results of the experiments of the samples under study are set out, suggesting the possibility and preference of using a similar design of current transformers for measuring single-phase current of industrial frequency.
