There are many different factors to keep in mind when choosing a current transformer for any application. As this can be confusing and there is a lot of information out there that is not accurate, and this can lead to installing the wrong current transformer and having to replace equipment. [...]

At Midwest Current Transformer, we specialize in the manufacturing of standard and fully customized current transformers for power circuits. Our products are used to drop down the voltage or current in power circuits to be at a level that can be safely used by measuring equipment. In order for this

Current transformers play an important role in industry today. In fact, they are just as important as potential transformers because they can monitor and detect current flow in a wide range of circuits. There are many uses for CTs, and they can be found in many applications. Where Meters Cannot

Current transformers are an important part of power transmission and control panel applications today. They have many ratings, and some can be customized to your business. However, there are letters and numbers printed on current transformers, and it is important to know what they mean. This brief explanation can help

The wheels of industry are turned by some very large drive systems. However, some of the biggest machinery is controlled by much smaller control circuits. Current transformers help to keep these circuits running smoothly. Some CTs can effectively monitor current while others provide valuable protection. Here is a closer look

Midwest Current Transformer is one of the most trusted sources for current transformers in the industry. We offer a wide range of transformers and can create custom transformers to meet the most difficult specs. When you wire a current transformer, it is very important to make sure the secondary side

A current transformer only has one or a few number of turns as its primary winding. This primary winding can consist of simply a bus bar or conductor position through a central hole, or a coil of heavy-duty wire wound around core. At Midwest Current Transformer, we offer a wide

A current transformer is a category of instrument transformer designed and manufactured to generate an alternating current in its second winding. This current is directly proportional to the current measured in its primary winding. At Midwest Current Transformer, we offer our customers high-voltage transformers to meet various industrial applications. Primary

Power systems are wide-ranging and complex in nature. You cannot actually see electricity, but you can understand how it operates. One of the important elements of an electrical power system is the current transformer. At Midwest Current Transformer, our focus is on manufacturing standard and custom transformers to fulfill the

Toroidal transformers are used in electronic applications that step up or down a voltage or for the isolation of electronic equipment from a source of voltage. Different transformers are used for different applications. It is important to be careful in choosing the right transformer unit for your requirements. At Midwest
