Transformers are static electrical devices with no moving parts, transforming electrical power from one voltage and current setting to another. The frequency of the electrical current remains ...

When a transformer is working: A primary voltage drives an alternating current close alternating currentAlternating current occurs when electric charges continually change direction whilst moving ...

In current transformers the primary is typically a single wire (the AC line in this case) passing through the middle of a ring (see the picture to the right from wikipedia).

In operation, alternating current at one voltage is applied to the primary side of the transformer yielding alternating current in the secondary side of the transformer at a different voltage.

The 15 microsecond response time of this trigger exceeded our requirements as well as expectations based on the bandwidth specification of the current transformer we used. The choice of a large burden ...
