The Split-Core Current Transformer (also referred to as a split-type current transformer) is a specialized variant of current transformer. Boasting compact dimensions, lightweight construction, a split design, and straightforward installation, it is particularly well-suited for current measurement, signal sampling, and microcomputer-based protection of electrical equipment in 10KV AC power systems. This type of current transformer finds wide application in compact fully insulated ring network switchgear and integrates seamlessly with remote terminal devices (RTDs) such as RTUs and FTUs to form sampling units, delivering critical data support for the entire power system.
Key advantages of the Split-Core Current Transformer include its space-saving design, ease of installation, and adaptability to hard-to-reach locations and space-constrained environments. Its detachable magnetic core enables flexible mounting, allowing for effortless installation on cables or busbars. It serves as an ideal solution in scenarios where interrupting the current path is problematic or when measuring equipment requires simple modifications.
Furthermore, the Split-Core Current Transformer incorporates multiple safety features, including high flame retardancy, pollution resistance, and tamper-proof protection. Its enclosed housing and sealable cover provide robust environmental shielding, safeguarding internal components from external damage. Additionally, the integrated locking mechanism prevents accidental opening of the detachable core, ensuring the stable and safe operation of the equipment.
