1. CT

A Current Transformer, often abbreviated as CT, is a device designed to measure electrical current. It operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction. CTs are primarily used to step down high currents in power systems to a level that can be safely and accurately measured by ammeters, relays, or other monitoring and protection devices.

2. PT

A Potential Transformer, also known as a voltage transformer, is a device used to measure voltage in electrical circuits. PTs, like CTs, operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction and are used to step down high voltage to a standardized, safe, and measurable level.

3. High Voltage Test Set 

High Voltage Tests Sets of higher voltage up to 600kV are also manufactured against specific requirements. The test sets of 30kV are manufactured in Air Cooled design while the sets of 50kV & above are manufactured in Oil Cooled design. The output of these high voltage testers is single phase 50Hz. The standard H.T. current rating of air-cooled design as well as of oil-cooled design up to 150kV is 100mA for 30 minutes.

Nominal Voltage of the system	Power Frequency Withstand Voltage	Duration (in seconds)
6.6 KV	20 KV	60
11 KV	28 KV	60
22 KV	50 KV	60
33 KV	70 KV	60

4. Control Circuit & Other Features

• Manual-operated control transformer (Variable autotransformer) with zero interlock facility.

• 72mm sq. double range (0-2kV / 0-5kV) moving coil rectifier type voltmeter of class 1.5, provided to read NO LOAD H.T. Voltage.

• 72mm sq. double range (0-100mA) moving coil rectifier type A.C. Milliammeter of class 1.5, provided in the earth end of the H.T. winding to read H.T. Current.

• M.C.B. for short circuit protection of H.T. transformer & autotransformer

• H.T. ON push button, Mains ON & H.T. ON LED indication.

• Range selection switch to select 2.5kV or 5kV range with LED indication.

• Two spring-loaded test prods with 1-metre-long cable for safe & easy connection of high voltage to test object, (up to 5kV.)

5. Epoxy Resin Cast 

The epoxy-cast resin Transformers are designed to be Fire-resistant, Maintenance-free Free and Environmentally Safe. Besides, the Epoxy Cast Resin Transformers generate low noise and are very cost-efficient. Made using advanced technology, the Epoxy Cast Resin Transformers are resistant to failures and thus serve as dependable power supply systems.
