Description

CT 80/5A Current Transformer Veritek VIPS 301 VA 1 Class 5

Current Transformers for Energy meters – Polycarbonate encapsulated

Veritek Low voltage current transformers are designed for supplying measuring instruments and protective devices. These are suitable for system voltage 415V/660V/1000V and frequency 50/60Hz. These CT’s have an economic design and are preferred for primary current of 60A and above.

What is a current transformer?
Current transformers are used in transformer-rated energy meters to measure the total power consumed and the current flow. Transformer-rated energy meters are different from self-contained energy meters used within homes as the electric energy involved is very low. When the current involved is more than 200 Amperes, as with most industries and factories, transformer-rated meters with current transformers are required.

The purpose of the current transformer is to take the primary current of the electric energy that needs to be measured and transform it into a secondary current that is much smaller and easier to manage. This current can then be passed safely through the meter to measure the electric energy. Current transformers are also used with measuring instruments like voltmeters, ammeters, and kilowatt-hour meters. CTs are available in various options with different parameters and features. You will need to choose the right one for you, and we will look at how you can do so next.
