A method for testing current transformers

Abstract

Several precise laboratory methods are now available for the determination of the ratio and phase angle of current transformers. 1 These, however, all require a considerable amount of special apparatus, such as carefully calibrated noninductive shunts and very sensitive alternating-current detectors, and are therefore not suited for use under shop or central-station conditions. The task of comparing the constants of one transformer with those of a second transformer taken as a standard is much less
