Product design
Pearson special configuration current transformers offer different physical arrangements for particular conductors and test setups. Compared with standard aperture designs, selection requires close attention to mounting interfaces, aperture and mechanical drawings.
Measurement and application
AC and pulse current testing involves observing how a waveform changes over time as well as its amplitude. The transformer construction, conductor arrangement and output connection all influence the measurement setup.
Selection and connections
Prepare details of the conductor, available space, waveform and oscilloscope input. Installation requirements differ between fixed and opening structures; output cables and termination should follow the instructions for the selected model.
