The High Tension Potential Transformer, often called an HT Potential Transformer, is ideal for numerous residential and industrial uses because of its substantial voltage and current capabilities. Its primary application is within the electricity sector, but it is also found in transportation, telecommunications, and several other fields. It is made up of two sets of coils that create a magnetic field when electricity passes through them. The magnetic field generated induces voltage in the coils and creates an alternating current in them. For safety and measurement reasons, it facilitates precise conversion from higher voltage levels to lower levels.
Types of HT Current Transformer:
As HT potential transformer suppliers in UAE, we offer various types as given below:
- Wound-Type HT Current Transformer: In wound-type CTs, the primary winding consists of several turns of wire wrapped around the core. The primary winding is connected to the conductor that carries the current to be measured. Wound CTs are generally used in applications involving lower currents and offer a high degree of accuracy. They are mainly used in metering and protection circuits where the accurate measurement of current is critical. The turns ratio is determined by the number of turns in the primary and the secondary coils.
- Toroidal (Ring) HT Current Transformer: Also known as ring-type CTs, these employ a toroidal, or donut-shaped, core that surrounds the conductor carrying the current to be measured. The conductor itself becomes the primary winding or main winding which is essentially a single turn. Toroidal CTs are mostly used in the measurement of medium to high currents, and they are widely used due to their ease of installation. Their accuracy is also excellent, and most power monitoring and protective applications use them. The secondary winding is wound over the toroidal core.
- Split-core HT Current Transformer: These CTs have an open and closed core that can be installed without breaking the circuit around a conductor. They are ideal for existing current installations or for one-time measurements. The most common application of split-core current transformers is in load measurement and energy management where there is a current building or system. They are readily applicable and offer a good balance between accuracy and ease of mounting.
- Clamp-on HT Current Transformer: Much like split-core CTs, clamp-on CTs are designed for easy installation around a conductor without interrupting the circuit at all. They normally are hinged on the conductor to close over it. Clamp-on CTs are often used for temporary measurements, for troubleshooting, or where access to the conductor cannot be gained easily at all.

Unique Features of HT Current Transformer:
Being HT potential transformer manufacturers in UAE, we use advanced technology and methods during the manufacturing process. Here are some features of it..
- High Current Capability: They are built to handle and measure very high currents, which usually range from hundreds to thousands of amperes. This requires special conductors and core arrangements.
- High Current Accuracy: The ability to be accurate at these high current levels is crucial. HT CTs are designed and tested to provide accurate current transformation, even under the most stringent load conditions.
- Mechanical Robustness: They must be mechanically robust to withstand the stresses of high-voltage applications, including potential fault currents and external influences like vibration and temperature fluctuations.
- Installation and Integration: HT CTs are designed for specific mounting configurations in high-voltage equipment like switchgear, transformers, or overhead cabling. They often directly interface with bushings or conductors.
- Safety: These transformers are equipped with features like properly grounded terminals, shielded connectors, and strong enclosures that provide protection to human personnel and the equipment.
- Industry Standards: They conform to stringent industry standards (like IEC, IEEE) in terms of performance, safety, and compatibility.
Applications of HT Current Transformer:
Our HT Potential Transformers are used in power systems to offer accurate and reliable measurements of high voltages for various applications, as discussed below.
- High Voltage Transmission Lines: Used with ammeters and wattmeters to measure voltage, current, and power in high-voltage transmission lines. They energize protective relays when a fault occurs on a high-voltage line.
- Control Circuits: Our HT potential transformers are used to supply voltage signals to control circuits. The control circuits consist of automatic voltage regulators, reactive power compensators, and other numerous control systems.
- Device Testing: They are applied in testing high-voltage devices, such as transformers and circuit breakers. They measure voltage and current during the tests.
- High Voltage Power Systems: These transformers isolate the communication systems from high-voltage power systems to avoid interference with communication signals.
- Electrical Devices: They are used in research to measure high voltages and currents in laboratory experiments and to calibrate a range of electrical devices.
