Difference between Current Transformer and Potential Transformer

1. Difference between Current Transformer and Potential Transformer

2. MACROPLAST is a highly reputable and trusted manufacturer, and supplier of current and potential transformers (voltage transformers). These transformers are of international standards and offer optimum performance. Designed using quality raw materials and high-tech technologies, these transformers is long-lasting. Let’s take a quick look at the differences between the Current Transformer and Potential Transformer based on types, connection, rate winding, use, core, and so on.

3. Difference based on Use A current transformer allows using a 5 Ampere ammeter when it comes to measuring high currents as 200 amperes. In contrast, a potential transformer is designed to use a 120-voltmeter to measure high voltage like 11KV. Difference based on Types A current transformer allows using a 5 Ampere ammeter when it comes to measuring high currents as 200 amperes. In contrast, a potential transformer is designed to use a 120-voltmeter to measure high voltage like 11KV.

4. Difference based on Connection A current transformer allows using a 5 Ampere ammeter when it comes to measuring high currents as 200 amperes. In contrast, a potential transformer is designed to use a 120-voltmeter to measure high voltage like 11KV. Difference based Transformation Ratio A current transformer allows using a 5 Ampere ammeter when it comes to measuring high currents as 200 amperes. In contrast, a potential transformer is designed to use a 120-voltmeter to measure high voltage like 11KV.

5. Primary & Secondary Winding The primary winding has less number of turns in a current transformer. And the current can be measured. Potential transformers come with many primary winding turns. The voltage can be measured. In a current transformer, the secondary winding possesses large numbers of turns on the secondary side and is connected to the current winding of the instrument. In a potential transformer, the secondary winding has a small number of turns on the secondary side and is connected to the meter or instrument.

6. Differences based on Burden The current transformer is designed in a way that it does not depend on the secondary burden, whereas the potential transformer majorly depends on it. Differences based Core Silicon steel lamination is the material used to design the current transformer. On the other hand, top-quality steel operating flux densities are used to manufacture a potential transformer.

7. Current Transformer and Potential Transformer Manufacturer • As one of the leading manufacturers of Current Transformers and Potential Transformers, MACROPLAST makes top-quality transformers. We are also one of the leading Current Transformer Suppliers and Potential Transformer Suppliers in India, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique, African and EU countries. The current transformer designed by us can be majority used to reduce a high current to a safer and more manageable level that can be measured. It has the potential to convert primary currents into small 1A/5A currents. • On the other hand, the potential transformer designed by Macroplast can measure and rescue high voltage values into lesser values. It has the potential to convert the high voltage into a standard secondary voltage of 100V or lower.
