Split core current transformer advantages

Split core current transformers are appliances that are designed to be installed around the primary current conductor without breaking the circuit. They are commonly used for applications such as portable metering, ground fault detection, or as a part of solar inverters and wind turbines. Newtek Electricals is a split core CT manufacturer in India who has introduced current transformers with nylon casing. This innovation makes the CTs more durable and reliable to perform under harsh circumstances. Split core current transformers are a popular choice for field installations because of the several advantages of current transformers that bring apart from durability.

Key benefits & advantage of current transformers:

1. Facilitates the easy measurement of CTs higher current values.
2. Safely isolates high voltage and current to lower values, ensuring secure operations and equipment handling.
3. Functions as a control mechanism for operating protective devices like relays and pilot lights.
4. Supports the power supply of multiple instruments from a single transformer.

Advantages of split core CTs

No interruption in current transformer

Split core current transformers enable the monitoring of AC current without interrupting the current supply. As the existing circuit and wiring does not need to be broken to install the split core CT, there is no interruption in the current flow or the prevailing electrical setup.

Easy to install your CTs

Due to the opening in their core, split core CTs are very easy to install with diverse cable tie provisions and bus bar mountings. Their compact design also means they fit easily in remote and small paces such as branch distribution panels or main breaker panels and also make it easy to monitor devices located in remote places or inaccessible and harsh environments.

Suited for retrofitting CTs

When installing a split core CT, the circuit does not need to be broken. There is no need for removing and redoing the wiring. This feature makes split core CTs the best fit for retrofitting on existing electrical equipment. Split core CTs can be easily snapped over pre-existing electrical wires. The unique features of the split core current transformers also make them ideal for portable electricity monitoring devices.

High range of CTs

Split core CTs can step down power across a wide range, and the rated current stands at 1 A or 5 A. They do not need any kind of electronic calibration or signal processing to function.

Where to find quality split core CTs

In the light of harsh conditions on field, especially for split core transformers in India, durability and reliability are key factors to consider Newtek Electricals CTs are more resistant to impact from fall, and perform optimally in hot, humid and dusty environments. Besides features such as ease of installation and compatibility with retrofit applications, our split core CTs have a high range between 100A to 5000A. Our unique innovations with the product allow us to hit the golden mean between price and quality, even as we supply split core CTs in short lead time and at reasonable split core current transformer price in India.
