Practical Course to Current Transformers (CTs): Specifications, Testing and Examples in Protection and Measuring Applications

Description

This course is dedicated to Current Transformers (CTs), which are highly relevant to electrical protection and measuring systems. It covers the most significant aspect of how measurement and protective devices function in the electrical power system, and it includes testing procedures and real-world examples of the correct CT selection. The course is straightforward. It begins with an introduction to current transformers and the reasons for considering their construction and ends with training on how to select current transformers that fit measurement and protection devices using realistic calculations.

Testing procedures of current transformers are discussed in depth by covering the most important ones, such as winding resistance test, insulation test, polarity and turn ratio tests, saturation test, etc.

The course consists in 5 sections and 23 lectures in 2h 14m total length. English subtitles are included.

Practical expertise with distribution networks at medium and low voltages is inlcuded as well.

This one-of-a-kind method of explanation and course preparation was designed to accommodate students from engineering universities and various technical institutes, as well as specialized engineers with extensive experience in the fields of electrical power systems and electrical substations, particularly in the areas of protection engineering and measuring applications.

Instructor Ahmed Hassanin holds a master’s degree in engineering sciences, specializing in electrical power and machine engineering, and possesses 19 years of practical expertise in electrical power substations.
