Protection CT Vs Metering CT – Differences and Applications

Types of CTs

Current Transformers (CTs) play a crucial role in power systems. They perform both metering and protection functions. However, the same CT can not perform both metering and protection functions. This is because each of the protection and metering applications has different accuracy, burden-handling, and dynamic performance requirements. Hence, CTs are designed as either Metering CTs … Read more

Selection of CTs for Protection & Metering – Complete Guide

current transformer

A current transformer (CT) reduces high currents to small, usable values. We utilize CTs for metering and protection purposes. Proper CT selection ensures accuracy, safety, and reliable protection. Identify the Purpose of CT Metering CT A metering CT measures current for billing and monitoring. Therefore, it must work accurately within the tolerable upper limit of … Read more
