Safety Considerations When Working With Current Transformers

Image
Current Transformers (CTs) are essential components in power systems, facilitating the safe and precise measurement of high currents. While these devices are crucial for metering and protection, handling them, particularly in high-voltage settings, demands strict compliance with safety protocols. Improper handling or installation can result in significant risks, such as electric shock, damage to equipment, and erroneous system monitoring. In this blog, we will discuss the important safety factors to consider when working with current transformers, covering everything from installation methods to maintenance practices, to ensure the safety of both personnel and the system.

Optimizing Power Factor With High-KVA Transformers

Image
In the current energy-demanding landscape, the efficiency of power systems has become increasingly vital. Whether in industrial facilities, data centres, or national grids, it is crucial to uphold a high power factor to reduce energy losses, enhance voltage stability, and lower operational expenses. High-KVA transformers are essential for optimizing power factor, especially in large-scale, high-voltage scenarios. The power factor quantifies the effectiveness of electrical power conversion into useful work, defined as the ratio of real power (kW) to apparent power (kVA). A power factor of 1 signifies total efficiency, while a lower power factor indicates energy loss due to reactive power that does not contribute to useful work. This blog delves into the examination of the effect of power factor on energy systems, and discussing how contemporary high-KVA transformers are designed to improve power factor, thereby enhancing grid stability and efficiency.
