MSQ Current Transformer
An MSQ Current Transformer (CT) is a type of instrument transformer designed to measure the alternating current (AC) in high-voltage systems by producing a scaled-down current that is safe for metering and protection devices. MSQ CTs are widely used in industrial and commercial settings for accurate current measurement, monitoring, and protection.
Key Features
- Compact Design: MSQ CTs are typically designed for easy installation, even in limited spaces, making them suitable for panel mounting or switchgear.
- High Accuracy: Provides precise current measurements, essential for accurate billing and reliable protection in critical systems.
- Wide Range of Ratios: Available in a variety of current ratios to match specific system requirements and operational needs.
- Safety and Insulation: Built with robust insulation to withstand electrical stresses, ensuring the safety of operators and equipment.
Applications
- Energy Metering: Used in power distribution systems, utility metering, and commercial buildings to monitor energy consumption accurately.
- Protection Relays: Paired with protection relays in power systems to detect abnormal conditions like overloads or faults, allowing for prompt disconnection to protect equipment.
- Industrial and Commercial Facilities: Common in industrial facilities where precise current measurement is essential for power management and control.
- Power Quality Monitoring: Used in conjunction with power quality meters to assess system efficiency and identify issues like harmonics or imbalances.
