Pylons are an integral part of everyday life, and whilst many people complain about their “ugliness”, they perform essential functions that enable the population to have electricity in their homes and ...

Omicron has introduced a way to test current transformers at all lifecycle stages by using a testing method called "the modeling concept". The "traditional" way of testing a current transformer is to ...

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 ...

A current transformer (CT) is a simple, practical and inexpensive means of detecting the presence of AC current. Detecting load current rather than applied voltage is a superior method of determining ...

It is important for machine design engineers to understand how transformers work so they can design machinery that operates optimally within the proper voltage ranges, as well as select the right ...

Utility power meters often must rely on a current transformer for polyphase applications. Current transformers have drawbacks, however. They are relatively expensive and require additional copper ...

When alternating current (AC) prevailed over direct current (DC) in the late 1800s, one of the deciding factors was the need for voltage levels to be raised and lowered throughout the power system to ...

Researchers have found a way of looking inside the iron core of transformers. Transformers are indispensable in regulating electricity both in industry and in domestic households. The better their ...
