Shall we?<\/p>\n<h2>Potential transformers<\/h2>\n<p>The potential transformer (PT) is a device used to measure and reduce the electrical voltage of a high voltage system.<\/p>\n<p>It works based on the principles of electromagnetic induction, where the voltage applied to the primary coil generates a magnetic field that induces a proportional voltage in the secondary coil.<\/p>\n<p>This thus allows the voltage to be reduced to a lower value, facilitating accurate measurement by instruments.<\/p>\n<p>In this way, TP plays an essential role in power distribution systems, substations and electrical voltage measurement.<\/p>\n<h3>See what the benefits of the potential transformer are<\/h3>\n<p>Potential transformers offer several benefits. After all, they enable accurate measurements, ensuring the safety of sensitive measuring equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, they reduce stress, making operators&#039; work safer and protecting equipment.<\/p>\n<p>They also provide galvanic isolation and overvoltage protection, contributing to the integrity of measurement and control devices.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, its versatility allows its application in a wide range of electrical systems.<\/p>\n<h2>Current transformer<\/h2>\n<p>The current transformer (CT) is used to measure and transmit high-value electrical currents to smaller values.<\/p>\n<p>It operates based on electromagnetic induction, where the primary current generates a proportional magnetic field, transferred to the secondary winding through a ferromagnetic core.<\/p>\n<p>The secondary winding produces a secondary current proportional to the primary current, according to the transformation ratio determined by the number of turns in the windings.<\/p>\n<p>As such, they play an essential role in electrical current measurements. Furthermore, they provide adequate currents for measuring instruments and electronic devices.<\/p>\n<h3>Discover the benefits of a current transformer<\/h3>\n<p>CTs play a key role in the accurate and safe measurement of electrical current.<\/p>\n<p>They offer benefits such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>more accurate measurements;<\/li>\n<li>safety when dealing with smaller currents;<\/li>\n<li>galvanic isolation to protect measurement and control equipment;<\/li>\n<li>equipment protection through reduced currents;<\/li>\n<li>versatility of application in various electrical systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Did you enjoy learning more about voltage transformers?<\/p>\n<p>At Trif\u00e1sica El\u00e9trica we offer complete solutions with potential transformers, current transformers, medium voltage circuit breakers and other materials for <a href=\"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/cabines-primarias-metalicas-e-de-alvenaria-qual-e-a-melhor\/\">primary cabins.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Count on the help of our experienced technical team. <a href=\"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/fale-conosco\/\">Contact us now to find out more!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact our sales team on one of our channels.<\/strong><strong>Follow our social media:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/trifasicaeletrica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/trifasicaeletrica_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/trifasicaeletrica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/canal-trifasica-eletrica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Potential and current transformer, know the difference.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8287,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[209],"tags":[232,231,230],"class_list":["post-8286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-servico-produto","tag-alta-tensao","tag-transformador-de-corrente","tag-transformador-de-potencial"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8286\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trifasica.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
