Component Specifications

Definition
A specialized electrical insulation component designed to safely pass primary conductors through the magnetic core of a differential current transformer while maintaining electrical isolation, preventing short circuits, and ensuring accurate current measurement by containing the magnetic field within the transformer structure.
Working Principle
Provides a controlled path for primary conductors to pass through the transformer's magnetic core aperture while maintaining dielectric strength and preventing eddy current losses through proper insulation and material selection, ensuring the primary current induces a proportional secondary current without interference.
Materials
High-grade electrical insulating materials such as epoxy resin, porcelain, or silicone rubber with flame-retardant properties; may include embedded metallic shielding or grading rings for high-voltage applications; rated for continuous operation at specified temperature classes (e.g., Class F: 155°C).
