Material Composition: Core made of grain-oriented silicon steel laminations to minimize losses. Primary and secondary windings use high-purity copper. Porcelain or polymer insulator housing.
-
Structural Features: “Through-core” design requires no primary winding connections; bus bars pass directly through the core window. Includes test tap terminals (TRT) for polarity verification.
-
Safety Warning: Never open-circuit the secondary terminals while the primary is energized, as this induces extreme high voltage. Always short the secondary terminals before removing metering devices.
