Advantages:
- Non-intrusive measurement
- Galvanic isolation
- Wide frequency range
- Compact size


Current Transformers (CTs)
Function:
Current transformers are designed to step down high currents to a lower, more measurable value while maintaining the waveform of the current. They are commonly used in high voltage and current applications.
