High Current Transformers


High Current Transformers are designed to elevate and check the temperature of conductors at high current levels, in order to simulate the current loading conditions found in electrical circuits.

High Current Transformers are designed as an open type transformer. They use the test object as their secondary coil, or have 1- or 2-turn self secondary winding. The core temperature of the conductors depends on the short-circuit high current caused by the test object. Depending on the current going through the test object, the test temperature of the conductor will change. The loop temperature is measured by a thermocouple probe which is directly connected to conductor.
