Current Transformers (CT)

Current transformers are used extensively in metering and circuit protection. Eaton's Power Systems Experience Center is the ideal place to learn how to properly apply CTs considering accuracy, types, safety, temporary and permanent applications.

[@jmsule9367]

Just about a quarter of an hour, yet one gets real value comparable to a 24hrs lecture. Thank you

[@Z901Z]

Your definition of a CT alone at the beginning is worthy of millions! No one has been able to explain to me what a CT is properly until now...

[@sajalj]

This is one of the best video posted on this channel. Very well explained.

[@michealeniguse4862]

This is the best and detail presentation! Please keep up on uploading more videos. Thank you!

[@TradingEquipmentSolution]

This is one of the most videos that was shared a good information about CTs, Thanks so much.

[@closetcleaner]

It was about time someone posted a good video on CTs. Thank you.

Indeed simple explanation of current transformer Great video. Thanks

[@SuperIndianmuslim786]

Great low cost technique for measuring low frequency, high current but for higher frequencies and lower current measurements Hall effect sensors are used but those are pretty much expensive.

[@mallikarjunaraosutraye1076]

Sir here 1000/5 A, output is 5A is independent on the burden Impedance.?

[@biaelectric9066]

The diagram shows DC current. How is the load being measured on an AC system? I.e. why does the CT direction matter?

[@dowbatw]

I think 2:11-2:20 may be wrong? When primary winding has 200 turns and secondary winding has 1 turn, 1000 amps on primary side would produce 1000×200 = 200000 amps on secondary side.

[@paulinusike954]

Good lecture thank you very much. please can anyone help me on how to connect a motor protection relay with an external CT. I have an adjustable motor protection relay with internal CT the range is from 10 - 999A, the space for primary main conductor cannot contain my cable size based on the motor capacity, so i want to make use of external CT to achieve same result.

[@loginavoidence12]

6:18 never leave CT unshorted or unburdened when energized. i had a trouble call from an engineer who burned down a brand new 5k volt breaker because he energized it with the CTs open. what happens is they run away. all the terminal blocks, which are rated to take 30a continuously, all burned into a single smelly glob of plastic

[@jahidmrida64]

Thank You

[@rumeshrenuka2513]

Brilliant explanation about CT

[@bobcocampo]

Do you have any guide for paralleling of Current transformers?

[@Artistic_S0ul_]

I have a question. Please could you tell me what would happen if the primary flow current is 300A permanently and the CT protection ratio is only 200/5 A 10 VA? Is there a possibility of damage to the CT?

[@kalininyuri]

It will burn

[@DizzyD4212]

Depends on the thermal rating factor (TRF) of the CT, and the input ratings of the protection/measuring device. If the TRF=2.0 (very common), the CT will be fine, but will output a continuous 7.5 amps on the secondary. If the protection device can handle that 7.5 amps indefinitely, all will be good. This is routinely done in metering applications in substations.

[@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555]

So how would you choose a CT for residential power monitering? Say a 20a line and I'd like to reliably know if there is 0.5a to 16a being used? Is there an equation that helps to select appropriate CT?

[@mikeiver]

They are all over ebay for cheap. They need a burden resistor to convert the current to voltage.

[@akhil__dev]

Great video. But the background music sounds like it's a survival video or an explanation of a space mission.

[@kythuatientranthanhtien8135]

Help me. What mean rated current 10/min. 0,08A? Thanks

[@boguslawasihorova]

Can somebody explain. How is possible 0 vector summary in CT between N neutral and L phase.

[@shubhammunde2331]

Can i use 6 CT a one meter for different one more cable?

[@StephenAkins]

Am I correct in assuming CTs can only work with AC?

[@johnkobak1363]

Absolutely

[@sohailjanjua123]

Hi, I like your video. Thanks

[@farukahmed7263]

Nice

[@seablue1085]

azaming! thanks

[@rosarioparlatore7020]

Hi, i would like to understand better the concept opening circuit can be dangerus. The voltage step up to 1000Volts. So better to keep always the circuit close or shunt in place

[@robertb2444]

On the 600 volt rated cts the open circuit voltage will only rise a few hundred volts and not thousands., but the higher voltage rated ones will.

[@electromagneticworld]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@surendrakverma555]

Very Good 👍👍👍

[@MasonAmadeus]

Great, well presented video. Thank you! Although I won't lie, the acting at the very beginning isn't going to win any BAFTAs, haha.

[@jameszhao6628]

What do the letters 1H,2H mean at both side of CT?

[@sang3Eta]

He explains this at 10:00 what are the odds I was reading your comment just as I reached this part of the video LOL.

[@robertb2444]

Opening ct circuit on 600 volt rated or less is not as dangerous as the higher voltage rated. The older metering handbook stated this. But once an opinion becomes excepted as fact, reality is lost! We have be changing 3s meters for years without a bypass or shunt. Which opens the current circuit!

[@shubhammunde2331]

How to connect CT meter with 3 different cables...

[@albertmatin6683]

bonjour, pourquoi mes ton le S2 a la terre sur un transformateur de courant en basse tension

[@soundslight7754]

CT is a sensor, it's true that it works on electromagnetism principles and to pick up current passing without interrupting it, it has to rely on induction, so it works like a transformer, but it remains a sensor. CT stands for current transducer (= sensor). If we call this device a transformer, then perhaps we can call all radio devices including all mobile phones transformers because they all work on electromagnetism and induction principles, no?

[@loftycloud5404]

Everyone I know, including myself, and every book and manual I read called it a current transformer. And VT or PT as voltage or potential transformers and both are grouped under instrumental transformers as opposed from a power transformer like a distribution transformer. I get that instrumental transformers are essentially sensors, but everybody and everything calls them transformers because they are in essence that, and are tested and treated as such. Ex: Radio device don't spit out high voltages when back feed, and in fact can't really be backfeed effectively at all, they don't have voltage or turn ratios, are not tied to specific electric grids, no magnetic saturations points, no primary-to-secondary insulations values, etc etc. As far as I found, they are originally called transformers from the beginning.

[@chungdutshering2611]

Can you make about potential transformer

[@TimmyBoja]

1:42 - why are you showing current direction on an AC system? 😮

[@crimznn17]

Cold sequence next

[@user-dr2pg8fk2i]

Where is the flash protection?

[@anmolmaharana5770]

From 1:48 to 2:00 how did you make the animation

[@TimmyBoja]

3:57 - agh!!!! What are those arrows support to represent?! (Hint: it definitely isn’t current!)

[@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555]

I suppose that would be the direction of the current carrying HOLES as the electrons would be going the other direction NO?

[@TimmyBoja]

@@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555 no. DC current has direction but alternating current doesn't - it alternates. The whole point of RMS is to remove the sign (direction)

[@ericrioux6607]

If you need either a ego boost or a humility check , come to KZbin This has been my humility check , Jesus fuck y’all know a lot about electricity ⚡️

[@anmolmaharana5770]

How you are making this animated video

[@lambadapuneethraj3846]

Why is CT not accurate for low currents?

[@jyotielectrical7393]

If u measure low current using low ratio ct like 5/5, 10/5 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqKuZnmwZrBjkKs

[@robertb2444]

Some of the new cts have higher accuracy at measuring the lower currents in circuits. We use high accuracy, extended range cts on new installations.

[@robertb2444]

The magnetic field in the primary will be to low if the primary current is low. The magnetic field must be strong enough to excite the secondary. You can loop the primary back through the ct to increase secondary. If primary only has 1/4 amp, looping through ct 4 times will produce 1 amp on primary, increasing the secondary current, but the ratio will be ÷ by 4.

[@ENGMARWAN-og4rg]

This is definitely is a little lecture

[@idaras2012]

These really addresses my problems on CTs but I'll like to have some personal discussions with you , please can you inbox to have your email ?

[@melvinmprasad6117]

Road Ranger RTLO.....

[@kaysonneilly2364]

I'm calculating the number of secondary turns on a transformer where the ratio is 8:3 with a voltage of 440V and 750 turns on the primary winding and a 40 ohms resistor on the secondary winding so my brain is dead

[@510purple]

buy a megger ttr. this will give you a better idea of turns ratio. for example if the transformers primary is 12470v and the secondary is 480/277Y. divide 12470 by 277. this will give you the exact turns ratio results.
