Simulation characterization of measurement errors of the wide-range environmentally friendly current transformers

Abstract

To accurately measure the hundreds of millions of dollars of electricity consumed, the accuracy, safety, environmental friendliness, and reliability of current transformers become crucial. In response to these problems, there is an urgent need to develop an environmentally friendly current transformer that can adapt to the needs of power systems with wide-range current fluctuations. Therefore, in this paper, the simulation model of a three-phase current transformer with a combined transformer is developed. Simulation and verification work for the relationship between the error characteristics of environmentally friendly current transformers and the influence of magnetic field changes in each phase and the magnitude of the load on the secondary side. We compared the measurement errors before and after active compensation, demonstrating that environmentally friendly current transformers can increase the range and measurement flat frequency range while ensuring their 0.2S class measurement accuracy. This in turn proves the feasibility of wide-range environmentally friendly current transformers.
