Here are the steps required to select the transformer and how to design the circuit needed to meet the end use in a manner that prevents transformer saturation Average current-mode control (CMC) ...

Current transformers can perform circuit control, measure current for power measurement and control, and perform roles for safety protection and current limiting. They can also cause circuit events to ...

Maximizing Reliability Through Transformer Maintenance Part 2 focuses on the newest approaches to transformer maintenance, such as the shorted-winding technique for single-phase exciting current and ...

Current transformer (CT) saturation presents a critical challenge in the realm of power system protection and automation. Under fault conditions, the magnetic core of a CT may become saturated, ...

Instrument transformers provide reliable and accurate input for the protection, control and monitoring of power grid assets such as motor control centers, UPS systems, utility metering, low and medium ...

When designing ground-fault protection (GFP) for a power distribution system, you should always consider the nature of the power source. If the power source is from a separately derived system, you ...

Current sensing is used to perform two essential circuit functions. First, it is used to measure “how much” current is flowing in a circuit, which may be used to make decisions about turning off ...

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Electricity (OE) has selected nine projects to receive approximately $20 million through its Flexible Innovative Transformer Technologies (FITT) funding ...
